VIDEO: Wildlife cam catches genet riding on black rhino's back
Published in Weird News
CAPE TOWN, South Africa (UPI) -- A South African wildlife charity shared "world first" video of an elusive genet riding on the back of a critically endangered black rhinoceros.
Wildlife ACT, a conservation charity based in Cape Town, posted a video to YouTube showing the "world first" footage of a genet -- a small, spotted cat with a long body and a raccoon-like tail -- hitching a ride on the back of a critically endangered black rhino.
The charity said the same animal, nicknamed Genet Jackson by rescuers, was previously photographed riding on the back of a buffalo and a white rhino.
Wildlife ACT said the new footage is considered particularly rare due to the critically endangered status of the black rhino.
