A few thoughts:

1) That'd be some of the most interesting insurance paperwork an agent would ever deal with.
2) I like how the second car shows up after all that. As if to say, "Thank you sir, may we have another, please?"
3) At least the rhino didn't attempt to mate with the inhabitants of the car. At least not that we know of--who knows what delightful adventures took place once the stop button was pressed!
4) Humans are the pinnacle of intelligence, Universe-wide. There can be no debate.
5) In the words of Jerry Seinfeld, "You know, a lot of those scratches will buff right out..."

If an American Bison and an M-1 Abrams tank had a baby, pretty much.

Things used to be spicer, though.

What's that little black lifeform in between the elephant and the dinosaur? And why isn't he smoking his pipe, seeing as he's about to get stepped on? Might as well enjoy those last few moments as much as possible...

It looked like both vehicles were "official" in some way, painted the same.

I still wince at the thought of being tossed about by a pissed off rhino. Not much of a car, though. A Rolls, with its mass, might have been more comfortable.

The zebra cars were probably "self drive safari" cars. A guide leads a group of tourists to the critters, then turns 'em loose to take pics and etc. The concept has become quite popular. (You get the freedom, they get free labor.)

There's one of those drives through zoo parks in Florida that we visited when I was a kid. Lion Country Safari. As I recall, you could use one of their cars; like if you had a convertible they would rent you a different car to drive through the park.
