This time, three women had been injured earlier that afternoon by a female rhino outside Laukhani village in the park’s buffer zone.The hospital had bandaged up their fractured legs and ribs and treated the bites on their hips and knees. “Normally rhinos are vegetarian, but they use their incisors for attacks,” says Aryal.
