Why do elephants always kill rhinos and hippos?

In estrus, male elephants attack rhinos and hippos. Hippo, elephant and rhinoceros are three kinds of continental animals, and carnivores pose little threat to them. The relationship between carnivores and herbivores is * * *, and the survival of the fittest is a natural law. The enemies of hippopotamus, elephant and rhinoceros are environmental destruction and human indiscriminate killing. Therefore, it is the responsibility of human beings to protect the environment and prohibit indiscriminate killing, and it is also to protect human beings themselves.

Current research

According to the current research, elephants are one of the cleverest animals among all animals, and they have amazing memories. As social animals, elephants have social and communication skills.

In the South African National Park where the accident happened, the elephants who committed the crime were all young male elephants. The direct reason why elephants kill rhinos is the high testosterone level of male elephants. Male elephants choose rhinoceros as mating objects in estrus mating, and rhinoceros will be killed by elephants if they resist. If controlled by elephants, rhinos can't bear the weight of elephants, and eventually they will break their spines and die.
