In the video, the rhino can be seen taking a stroll in the streets outside the Chitwan National Park in Nepal. The rhino walks in all his glory, as if to guide people to go back inside their homes. Further into the video, the rhino on noticing a man walking ahead of him, immediately runs behind him, chasing him for a short while. After a few seconds, the rhinoceros proceeds back towards the national park after his short walk through the lanes of the neighbourhood. The IFS officer also informed that the ventures of the rhinos out from the Chitwan National Park are a common phenomena.
