Going on a game drive comes with a number of risks. Though all precautions are taken by visitors to the game reserve as well as the field guides who accompany them, animals are unpredictable and anything can happen. 

A family driving through Mexico's Africam Safari park came face to face with an angry male rhino.

The rhino approached the vehicle, bumping into it with its horns. The car's wheels were temporarily lifted but thankfully it did not tip over.

The Guardian reports that the rhino's aggression was due to a female rhino's presence in the close vicinity. It is possible that the rhino charged at the car in an attempt to protect its territory and its crash (a group of rhino). 

Employees of the park ran after the animal, trying to draw its attention away from the car.

No one was injured in the incident.
