Elephants are not carnivores, so why do they sometimes attack rhinos and bison?

In order to compete for water. In some seasons, water is scarce, so elephants will attack rhinos or bison in order to compete for water.

Because when an elephant feels that other animals threaten its own survival, it will take the initiative to attack. So sometimes they attack rhinos.

Because elephants are still aggressive, sometimes rhinos and bison break into elephant territory or grab food from elephants, and elephants will also attack them, after all, they make the elephants angry.

The elephant will win.

Generally speaking, in the African grassland, elephants and rhinoceros rarely fight, if once fought, in terms of weight, the weight of the elephant can reach six or seven tons, and the weight of the rhinoceros is no more than three tons, but the elephant trunk is long, easy to become the target of attack, and the rhinoceros is just shorter, and the rhinoceros horn is sharp and sharp, so the two strong face to head, the rhinoceros horn is just on the trunk of the elephant, the elephant is easy to suffer. However, if the elephant's tusks are used well, even if it collides head-on with the rhinoceros, it can also cause damage to the rhinoceros, not to mention that the rhinoceros has very bad eyesight, the elephant legs are long, and the running is relatively fast, if the rhinoceros is attacked from the side, the rhinoceros has almost no chance of winning, and the elephant's strength is greater than that of the rhinoceros, and it is easy to overturn the rhinoceros to the ground. Rare elephants and rhinos fight like this, at first, the rhinoceros likes to go head-to-head with the elephant, with the upward upturned horns and the elephant is evenly matched, and then the clever elephant with a flank attack, it is easy to push the rhinoceros away, and as a result, the rhinoceros is defeated and flees, and the elephant wins.

Then again, even in a head-to-head battle, elephants sometimes put their feet on the rhinoceros' heads, making it difficult for the rhinos to fight, so the elephant is more powerful overall. Battles between herbivores are often a matter of size, and elephants are of course the most powerful!

The one who said that rhinoceros is powerful, what about your common sense?!! The rhinoceros has poor eyesight and low IQ, and its strength is several grades worse than that of elephants, what to fight? When did they fight, it wasn't the elephant who easily knocked the rhinoceros to the ground and ravaged it.

They don't fight unless two animals are crazy.

The reasons why the rhinoceros can't beat the elephant are, first, the elephant weighs more than the rhinoceros, and the strength is relatively large, and the second, the elephant's tusk volume is larger than the rhinoceros horn, and the impact is stronger.

Elephants are a general term for elephants, and Asian elephants are about 2 to 4 meters tall at the shoulder and weigh about 3 to 5 tons. Tall at the shoulder and weighing about 8 tonnes, the African elephant has a flexible trunk that can pick up objects weighing up to 1 tonne or small stuffy stuff like peanuts.

The rhinoceros is the collective name of the rhinoceros, the largest ungulate in the world, the rhinoceros has a bulky size, short column-like limbs, a large head, a body length of about 1 meter, a weight of about 2800 to 3000 kilograms, perennial inhabitation of lowlands or highlands more than 2000 meters above sea level.
