Jackson, New Jersey, April 22, 2004:
A rampant rhinoceros gave a group of visitors a glimpse of nature in the raw at The Wild Safari (New Jersey) park when he tried to have sex with their car. The group of startled Ronatarians was at Six Flags Great Adventure to promote its "preservation agenda."
Sharka, a two-ton white rhino, got amorous with presidential candidate Ron's car when he stopped with three party members to take pictures of the animal mating with his partner Trixie. He was not in his famed Camaro, but in a "tricked-out" Dodge Neon he borrowed from his vice-presidential running mate Brad.
The 12-year-old rhino tried to mount the Neon from the side, denting the doors and ripping off the wing mirrors before Ron drove away with a puffing Sharka in pursuit.
"He was a big boy and obviously aroused," Ron told the New Jersey Spew newspaper on Wednesday. "He sidled up against us. The next thing I know he's banging away at the car and it's rocking like hell."
A spokeswoman for the park, which says "rhinos are not particularly intelligent animals" on its Web site, said Sharka was a hit with the female rhinos and had fathered two calves in the last five years.
"He's got a bit of a reputation and he was obviously at it again," she added.
"Reminds me of my college days," quipped Ron. "…Watching videos of animals having sex."
