Question

Which one is the strongest? Elephant or rhinoceros?

Answer 1

Like the first poster said, the elephant would trample and gore a rhino with relative ease. And another poster mentioned this very thing happening on a reserve fairly recently. Some rhinos and elephants were brought to a certain reserve and shortly thereafter the people working there kept on finding dead rhinos with large puncture wounds. They found out the wounds were holes made by male elephants impaling the rhinos through their thick hide with their tusks.

Answer 2

Both African and Indian elephants are bigger and stronger than any species of rhinoceros. The biggest rhino is the white type of Africa, and next is the Indian type, but an Indian elephant is bigger and stronger than them, not to mention the African elephant that's the largest land animal alive.  

Answer 3

There were actually quite a few instances when young bull elephants were killing rhinos on an animal reserve not too long ago.

Check National Geographic Channel.

Answer 4

Elephant by far. It is much bigger, taller, heavier and more intelligent. They did an episode on "Animal Face off" pitting the elephant vs the rhino. The elephant won easily in the computer generated virtual reality show. All the rhino could do was swing his horns, badly missing the target each time due to poor eye sight and being much shorter. The elephant simply bulldozed his smaller foe, stampeded and gored him with his tusks. Not something that would happen in nature but if push came to shove, the rhino will get the short end of the stick each time.
