My Africa trip facebook/insta posting - gone viral!

We just got back from a 19 day trip to South Africa, Zambia and Botswana. I didn't count but very likely took over 1000 pictures - maybe even 2000. We went with another couple that we've traveled with multiple times - they are very close friends.

On one of our safaris in South Africa - we had a humorous rhino incident. The most important thing to note - like other animals, they defecate around their territory so that other animals will detect the scent and stay away. They make very large "dump" locations then stomp around to pick up some of the fresh dung. Then as they walk the perimeter, the scent is continually spread to further enforce their territory.

On this one safari outing, our guide was driving a trail and we came upon a rather good sized rhino that was adjacent to a large pile of dung. As the guide was reminding us of the territory marking practice, the rhino looked to one side and took of quickly to the opposite direction. We looked over to the other direction and then saw the actual territory owner - which was a MUCH larger rhino that apparently had scared it away. The large rhino stopped in the same spot and then let go of the biggest dump imaginable. I got photos of the said dump, but my friend had started recording a video. We were all amazed at the scene. Later on I asked my friend to share the video as I'd like to post it to my FB account. I'd been posting every day or so with pictures taken and short explanations as needed. My FB account is set up to duplicate the postings on Instagram.

The next day I posted a single post with the video and briefly explained the territory marking aspect of the event. I only had about 50 or so friend/followers on FB, and a much lower qty on Instagram. I checked the next morning after the post and saw that it had been viewed about 500 times - which I thought was pretty interesting. The next morning, the number had grown to 20,000! Over the next few days and week - it steadily grew to 100k, 200k, 300k, 500k, 750k and now has over 1M views! I've had thousands of likes, hundreds of people now following my account, and some of the comments have been just hilarious! I've kept my friend aware as well - and he has shared with some of his contacts.

Since it seems impossible to embed a link from FB or Insta, I provide the link below:
