A man survived a scare after being chased by a rhino in Nepal.

The incident took place in Chitwan district of Bagmati Pradesh province on February 21.

Visuals show a rhino walking on the street when it sees a man standing nearby.

Catching the man off-guard, the rhino jogs towards him, giving the former a scare.

Fortunately, the animal stops after taking a few steps as the man does well to avoid a collision by moving quickly.

Nepal is presently undergoing a government-imposed lockdown that was put in place to contain the spread of the pandemic novel coronavirus.

The disease has affected more than a million people in over 180 countries.

Rhino sightings are not rare in an around the Chitwan National Park and the animals can be seen walking down the streets even without the lockdown.
