WATCH: Cheeky elephant gives rhino some stick

A young male elephant was recently caught on camera trying to intimidate a rhino with a show of stick skills.

According to Latest Sightings, the incident happened at a reserve which can only be reached via boat, making it a highly exclusive area.

Joe Gregory, the man who caught the footage, was on a game drive around the marshy grasslands when the standoff began.

The confrontation between the rhino and the elephant ended in a stalemate, despite the elephant's skill at balancing and throwing his stick.

"I believe they both showed their belonging in the area with mutual respect, making both of them ultimate winners," said Gregory.
