A family driving through a safari park near Puebla, Mexico got a little closer to the wildlife than they had hoped when a rhino unexpectedly began ramming their SUV.
The scary incident, which occurred at Africam Safari, was caught on camera.
No one was injured. However, the vehicle sustained visible damage, with the rhino ripping off a piece of the bumper with its horn before pushing the SUV down the dirt road as the family attempts to escape.
The massive animal nearly overturns the vehicle at one point.
"What happened is an isolated case related with the natural and wild nature of this species. We took the necessary measures in order to avoid something similar happening again," the safari park said in a statement via the Daily Mail. "The rhino was separated and is staying in another part of the park while the fertile period of the female rhino ends."
The park's website says visitors' safari tours take place in their own cars or one of the park's buses. In addition to rhinos, the park is home to giraffes, antelopes, zebras, deer, Bengal tigers and lions.
