The SIZE of that monster!! scary as hell.

 

[flyny]

Id kill the rhino before the race starts and cross the finish line in a rhino skin jacket because I'm a boss

 

[andretti]

If I was a child and was able to out run a full grown Rottweiler to save my own dog from getting mutked, yea I can

 

[jayzz]

I run the 100m in Track.

He can get this work.

 

[c hanna]

nice try ^
rhinos can run up to 31 mph... fastest ever recorded human was usain bolts 60-80m of his world record setting 100m at 27.78 mph

 

[T Lo Sweater]

Yes

While wearing my ecko shirt

 

[bravelude]

u cant. they are quicker than randy moss.

 

[Peep Game]

Id get speared in the booty by the rhino and cross the finish line first, only cause I'm still hooked to the rhino's horn

Fixed

Curious though on how fast the rhino could get to it's top speed?

In a 40 yard dash both from a standstill, I think some may be able to stand a chance?

The thing is, the rhino.creates waves in thr ground which accelerates itself but slows for its.opponents. I dont think they top out, they simply get to you really quick. Plus animals reach speed from thr get go, its not like a human being where it takes a bit and then u top out and become exhausted. animals time things pretty good, its like when thry hunt, they just know the gap, the range, the speed.

With the appropriate amount of preparation time i believe that i could beat a rhino in a 40 yard dash.

I get that but I cant just imagine a Rhino lugging around a bit before gaining speed and momentum, it's still heavy with rather short legs. It's not like a puma or a cheetah that has the legs and are just built for a quick take off.

 

[Master Zik]

If it was chasing me, yes.

Otherwise, no.

I mean' he was keeping up with a moped.

What about 40 silver back gorillas?

 

[SC kid]

No.

A gorilla can run around 20 mph.

Usain bolt can run about 28 mph.

I have researched this.

 

[bravelude]

not for extended time.

 

[cruzzz]

I think your best bet would be use your change of direction speed.

 

[SC kid]

Are we talking about the jungle or like an indoor or outdoor track tho

 

[T Lo Sweater]

Rubber track outside

400 m with hurdles

I clicked on the link and saw the vid and I never refuted not being able to outrun it. But I am still curious from a standstill if a person could outrun it in a 40 yard dash and that is why I asked it as a qurestion. I mean when he gets going he might be able to get to 30 mph but what if it takes him 50 yards, 100 yards, etc.. to get to that speed? Then someone might have a chance?


But yeah if the dude already has a rolling start then I'm just gon' be weaving left and right or make sharp turns and hope the rhino can't do it with it's weight or else I am dead.

Big animals are like defensive linemen, quick burst and more nimble on the feet then you think.
