Yes if it felt threatened like any other animal that would defend itself.

Of course, if you're walking through the African (or wherever you are where there are rhinos near) safari and you stumble upon a rhino's land. It will stomp and skid its feet on the ground and it may charge you......but some are just scared of you by you making big noises and such....

Not really. Rhinos have sharp horns on their noses and can deliver a fatal blow just by goring with that horn on their muzzle. If a gorilla has no place to escape or climb, a rhino could easily kill it. And that thick skin that that rhino has is like iron, which would make it very difficult for a gorilla to find anything worth throwing at the rhino that would do serious injury enough to kill it.

No, a rhinoceros can't kill an adult elephant. Rhinos are too small compared with elephants. However, elephants are plenty strong enough to kill a rhinoceros, and there have been documented cases of agressive elephants killing rhinos.

Are very well placed shot in an artery or the brain could probably kill a rhino. However, aiming that carefully at a rhino from any safe distance with a handgun would be almost impossible. Additionally, if you were close enough to reliably shoot the rhino with a handgun, it is still so large that if you missed by an inch, it would survive and charge you, killing you before you could shoot it enough times to kill it.

The Indian rhino is normally not on the tiger's menu, but sometimes rhino calves are taken. There are records of tigers killing adult rhinos, one such killing occured recently there.

They will charge you if they feel threatened, so to view them from a distance is wonderful, do not get in their space or they WILL kill you!!!
