00:00This video was recently captured in India, and this is the moment a mother and her daughter fell from a fleeing safari jeep, right in front of some aggressive rhinos.
00:09The whole thing took place at the Kaziranga National Park.
00:12Several jeeps were moving through an area of the park with many Indian rhinos.
00:16The species is known for being particularly aggressive when dealing with humans, and that's exactly what happened.
00:21While the rhino in the foreground draws attention from the videographer, behind, another rhino gets testy with the following vehicles.
00:28It causes one of them to speed away, but as it does so, a mother and her daughter are thrown from the jeep, mere feet away from the aggressive animal.
00:35The foreground rhino turns and approaches, but the video cuts out there.
00:39Park authorities said in an interview after that the pair were able to get back into the vehicle and were unharmed by the animals.
00:46However, they added that the driver was suspended while the park launches a further investigation into the occurrence.
