The British trainee was apparently on a 10-week training course in northern Zululand, and was being taught field craft when he and his tutors surprised a large black rhino.
The rhino – which can run at around 55km/hr and weigh as much as 1,400 kg – immediately attacked, chasing the student who ran for his life into thick bush.
