A rhino approached South African filmmaker Garth De Bruno Austin while he was filming. Then the filmmaker bent down to give belly rubs to the rhino.

Many of us wish to experience wildlife up close. That's also a reason why several of us plan trips to sanctuaries and other natural reserves so that we can get to see the daily life of wild animals. But, while exploring, what if a massive wild animal approaches you? What would be your reaction? You might try to run away from the spot unless you are Garth De Bruno Austin.
