Rhino blocks highway after being pushed out of Kaziranga by Assam floods

A rhinoceros created a ruckus on a national highway in Assam's Golaghat, after escaping the flooded Kaziranga National Park.

It took wildlife officials three hours to nab the animal. In the video released by Reuters, the Rhino can be seen briefly running behind people on the highway and destroying huts along the area.

The flood in Assam, apart from destroying crops and homes in the last three months, has killed hundreds of small and big animals in Assam's forests.

One of Assam's most famous forest areas, the Kaziranga National Park, home to a large number of one-horned rhinoceros, was flooded this week. The rhinos and other animals are struggling to survive and a desperate forest department is battling to rescue them.
