Kaziranga, January 6: A woman and her daughter had a close shave from being attacked by a rhino during a vehicle safari in Assam's Kaziranga National Park (KNP), an official said on Monday. The girl fell from the open vehicle while they were taking a safari inside the Bagori range of the KNP and her mother jumped out to pick her up on Sunday. A rhino waiting nearby was seen moving towards them in a video that has gone viral on social media. The driver, however, stopped the vehicle and the two climbed into it again.
