Bull Elephant in Musth ready to mate and a little grumpy and tired

- Опубліковано 23 сер 2015
- Our first morning at the Hiuhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve in South Africa,
we saw this Bull elephant twice. The first time he went into the brush and came out the other side later that morning. The wetness on his cheeks is from the musk, an oily substance that only once a year is secreted and attracts females. His glands are inflamed, the temples swollen and his temperament and behavior undergo a remarkable change. This makes him nervy, excitable and unpredictable. After shaking the tree for breakfast he showed us that he was the king of the jungle that day. Watch as he comes at us, and starts to carry his trunk in his tusks. I think he did not like the little white car in front of us. An 11 minute video but I think you will like it. August 12, 2015. Gate One Tour. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
Best bit of advice for everyone.... if an elephant s not happy..... leave
One person there is right at least twice...about the elephant thinking "get out of my territory".
What a lovely elephant!
yes beautiful
Yes leave when youv outstayed his tolerance. Thank you for sharing video.
A person who has good patience can enjoy the beautiful environment. Similarly, seeing elephants becomes dangerous only if you see the suffering of the animals.
Everyone started backing up when the brutal warthog appeared.
I like the way he walks.
That’s Darrell. The bull from Sabi Sands. Grumpy and the hole in his left ear. 7/2/2019
@:51 pretending to eat, !:17 and 1:26 he's got you in his sights. he's a gentleman

I would think if that was a bull elephant in musk he would charge those vehicles and to me it looks like he's just frustrated trying to get those leaves off that tree
That's one smart Warthog. Best bodyguard against lions is a full grown bull Elephant.
Why don't people just SHUT UP and enjoy the encounter? Pffft... I'm rootin for the heffalump.
They are not from africa you can tell.
they are laughing hyenas in dat car
Actually I think the elephant had a great deal of patience considering all these cars around him, finally he's like give me some peace. But I guess they paid all that money so they're going to want to see the elephant., elephant be damned. "I think he didn't like that little white car," idiot.
That "money" conserves wildlife and supports indigenous communities. It also provides video footage so people like you can watch it.
I guess im asking randomly but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot my password. I love any tips you can give me.
@Albert Rene Instablaster :)
@Troy Lorenzo i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Troy Lorenzo it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account :D
That magnificent creature. All he wanted was some lovin instead he got a traffic jam complete with chattering idiots. Yeah, i think the guides need some more training. That situation could have turned out very badly. 🌺❤🌺
Y do ppl talk in stead of watching that beautiful creature showing how much they know as soon as they open their mouths, he could decimate the jeep and the passengers,
The weren’t being loud enough to bother the elephant. 🙄 Jesus Christ, people are allowed to talk for goodness sake.
Great video, make way for the King of the road, the guide is very interesting to listen to, but the rest need to keep quiet.
These poor elephants put up with this every day!!
It's not just the 3-4 cars seen in the video. It must hundred cars in a day.
They aren’t bothering it. He has plenty of room.
Make no mistake, matriachs can be just as Jurassic in size with tusks but generally in a family.
These 'Astounding' animals are photographed, stared at , laughed at. No wonder they can be 'Grouchy'. :-{
The elephant was calm, not grumpy, not in musth and was just feeding and then walking down the road because it is easier to walk on a clear path,
never charging, A friendly elephant for sure.
Does the secretions from his temples not show he is in musth? Generally one gtf way out of the vacins of a bull with the falling oil
It is clearly in musth, you can see the temporin running out of the glands on its face.
Duh. Face wet!
On Safari Live they say that if the elephant puts it's trunk over the tusk that means it is seriously aggravated.
bonnie448 Yes. That's one of the signs. Another is when the ears are straight out. Once those ears are out, then comes either a mock charge, or a charge.
In the case of a bull in musth, it would most likely be a full charge.
bonnie448 - Rubbish. It means he is resting his trunk - nothing more.
It is a very good sign and shows he is relaxed. Charging (real or mock) never occurs with trunk curled out of the way. It is a serious weapon
Imagine you're eating your lunch at home and 3 large vehicles full of people pull up and just stare at you and make noise, and then YOU'RE branded as grumpy
2:48
Elephant”see me shake this tree.. you humans are in MY yard.. Imagion what i could do to your jeeps”!
You are absolutely right. He showed them his strength and they didn't take his warning so he had to escort them off his property. He was actually pretty polite about it.
I love it
I'm no safari guide, but I think it would be a good idea to fix the squeaky belts on your car before heading back out. I'm also no elephant, but if anything was going to annoy me it would be that damn squeaking coming from those belts.
10:20 When an elephant takes on the pose of one foot slightly lifted and a curled tip of the trunk touching the ground they are listening to subsonic calls from other elephants miles away.
Good information
Thank you
Beautiful sharing dear stay connected 👍🌻🙏
I'm am simply AMAZED ATA AHUMAN ARROGANCE! Get away from the ELEPHANT unless you've got some nice watermelon to put out on the road for him. Put stout and drive away.

Pretty stupid guide driving and giving bull dust stories to the tourists . The elephant gave several signs he was angry . Trunk over Tusk , flapping ears yet the guide did not take notice he was putting people at risk . Plus the people in the research vehicle by blocking the road .
Pretty sure they know what they’re doing 🙄
Elephant was NOT ‘in musth’. Secretions from temporal gland might be because of thirst, hungry, tooth ache or some other minor irritant, and possibly his frustration was due to the fruit at top of tree being out of reach and he could not get them to fall.
Your Guide would not be so stupid as to take you that close, had he been ‘in musth’. One or several people would have been killed - there were 4 vehicles there, and all 4 knew you were safe.
Well that elephant in musth or not is first of all a wild animal with immense power . He could be 10 feet tall weighing few tons . Very unpredictable in nature. So, my suggestion to keep safe distance while filming. In other words it should not be ur last adv. Thanks👍
This shows you you can't trust many guides. Watching the guides on wild Earth this elephant has given many warnings for them to shut up and leave. He is not putting his trunk over his tusks because it's heavy..that is a sign he is very upset . He is warning big time Leave! Yet they laugh and taunt him. Very dangerous and disrespectful towards these amazing creatures.
WHY is Mr. ELEPHANT focused on that vehicle? He looks unhappy with those folk too close watching HIM. What a beautiful creature. Just IMPRESSIVE. Of course HE'S mad. YOU ALL HAVE INTRUDED TOO LONG!!
What up Pumbaa?!
Cool stuff
Huge giant awesome
I think we shd not b disturbing wild life and let them live peacefully.
These people need to get a life. Dumbed down awareness of the distress they are causing to the magnificent animal.
There speaks another armchair Wildlife Behaviour Expert whose expertise starts with her imagination and ends at her screen.
That white car has a fan belt going out... hope it doesn't break.
It's also full of dung 😂😂😂😂
you re so lucky that he was kind. Dont they teach you to respect elephants?
Muito bravo
Why do american tourists always feel that they have to give a running commentary the whole time, they sure do like the sound of their own voices !!
they are stupid !
our world is being offended by sarcasm racism and stereotyping we need to really stop that. we aren't all that way and I hear in a few accents in there anyhow
but these people are just horrible and that tour guy should be telling them that silence or bololo Whispering is mandatory these elephants do not like all this noise
@@hectorapp7073 really really? do you feel better.
Because I traveled all the way from U.S. and bought a camera, safari shirt and I am excited and I am going to get a couple of pictures of elephants and warthogs.
It's that one woman who is particularly annoying imho.
This elephant seems remarkably calm given the chattering tourists stalking him. He's not showing aggressive behavior; his eyes are gentle and his gate is not a charge but a musth swagger.
Oi pessoal vcs tdsbsao corajosos ficar tao perto desses animais lindos mas selvsgens
Obviously I can’t smell him but he doesn’t seem to have the outward signs of musth and I think if he was in musth he would be much more aggressive. I think he was very patient.
his glands are dripping ...he is in musth
@@baishalideb5565 no, their glands drip for all kinds of reasons.
Go power ful babies!
It’s like he’s showing off.
Why the place is not mentioned ? People inthe Jeep are talking freely with out any fear, is it possible?
When an elephant is in this state, maybe it is best humans not bother it? That way ,when the elephant stampings a human, it does not die from gun fire. Also that car not very good at reversing?
How fast can he go if he wanted to ??? Faster than you can back up lady
"HAATHI MERA SHATHIE",👍.
Who did the elephant tell that he was grumpy and tired cause he needed to smash🤔🤷🏾♀️
Elephants r smart beautiful and able to defend themselves against anything but a bullet! Yes I'm pissed as a human! CCx
Carol Collins yes I love these magnificent creatures. During their season of mating humans should not be allowed in the areas. I don’t know much about them but everything needs space. He’s beautiful.
Is she swinging on the camera and recording?
She's lying by the way, he doesn't hang the trunk because it's heavy, it's a sign of aggression.
KatiushaVN4 You're probably right
FUTURE PHILOSOPHY - Nope. 100% wrong.
I was hoping he'd catch you bastards....
It's all his territory.
拍攝非常精彩片段：：加油…
"Grumpy and tired" of being gawked at by humans.
He is in heat, they shouldn't be around him
I know it has been a year, however, I must comment on how haphazard y’all are. You shogwed no respect for such an amazing animal. Your noisy level made me anxious. Shame ! Be thankful that bull just toyed with y’all.
Some people are so ignorant ,they needed a scare.
Oh look, another armchair expert who think she knows everything about elephants despite probably never even seeing one in her life except for on a screen. The safari guides know what they’re doing Karen, I mean Vicki. No need to get all anxious over a few people talking from the safety and distance of their vehicle. It’s called ZOOM. They weren’t really that close.
@@jamesmorrison2055 Ever been wrong much? This is fun after a year!
The huberous, disrespect & arrogance of all of these people in the presence of this magnificent bull cannot be overstated. Take pics & leave the animals in peace. Elephants already endure enough abuse by human beings. Frankly, it's amazing they don't attack every vehicle & kill every human being they see.
It"s obvious this bull is irritated & fed up with the human beings present. The trunk being rested on the risks is a sign of irritation, not because it's heavy. Elephants lay their trunks on the ground to listen. They also listen through their feet. They listen for every sound but mainly for infra sound in several ways.
The guides here are very irresponsible & showing little regard for the well being of the elephant. Regardless of the fees people pay to see them in the wild, they don't wish to see elephants harassed in this way. By pressing the time this elephant was willing to do oleratw the presence of people in vehicles, the guides endangered the customers. They also induced the elephant to show aggressive behaviour by chasing the vehicles, which is exactly the wrong thing to do, as elephants are very intelligent & this bull will not forget that he backed down vehicles when he's really in musth & extremely unpredictable & dangerous. Incredibly, an elephant is very fast. Faster than people realize. This bull could be on the vehicles & take out every person in them in no time, if he were truly in musth & agitated. This bull isn't in musth or not deeply. Thus his long tolerance. Lucky people he wasn't in full musth, if at all. There was no evidence he's in musth. No dripping, constant dribbling of urine or violent behaviour like a bull in musth normally displays.
Just a bad show by the guides all around.
He was constantly dripping urine, his temporal glands were streaming. There can be no doubt he was in musth. Maybe an early stage, as he was not very aggressive.
Why does he hang out where there are no females?
Cu folks. next show at noon. Make sure you stand behind the yellow line. Take care now.
Editing would be good, too.
👍
The inane and incessant comments would make ME mad! And the one guy......"is that a warthog?" I would have told him it was a baby hippo!
Actually there was a warthog crossing the.road between the elephant and a dark car behind
Yes. I heard the elephant fart, too. I think he came there just to tell them what he thought of them. Lol
Yak yak yak. The little white car...blah blah blah😵
Scary
0:04 elephant: I hope somebody got that on video!! Okay now let me turn so you can get my best side... my ass! Lol! 4:55 elephant: Is that them clowns from the circus? Clown: I told you we shouldn't have drove the clown car! It'll bring back bad memories!!
9:58 the african elephants ears are exactly the same shape as the african continent? when was the last time that park guide saw a map.....lol
Psssst! He doesn't like ANY of the cars.
The vehicle is no threat, stupid people with guns r a worry so he doesn't trust 2 legged clowns, he could squash u like a fly
'I don't think he likes that little white car much.' I'm not sure he likes any of the cars, including yours.
Pumba was smart enough to GTFO 😄
Fuck that I wouldn't get that close even in an armored car. An elephant is not to be fucked with. These people are laughing at that time, but I'll bet they wouldn't be if it turned over the car.
probably just trust the safari company which provided the car?
So if elephant kills someone, they would kill it! Really ???

You people make me sick! SHAME ON YOU! Because the elephant won't forget this encounter you put others in danger. Your not being funny, and this elephant can hear you and their very smart they know what your doing.
um, i dont think they speak English, so should all be fine.
Norma Trimble these elephants have daily encounters with the tourists who are with guides. Most likely the little white car irritated him, not the usual voices that are part of his day and not a female which is what he was really looking for. There is no abuse going on. The money the tourists bring in is what supports his sanctuary. The guides know what they are doing, the folks in the white car obviously did not.
These people were very respectful.
Norma Trimble these tourists at least are adding 💰 into the local economy there in South Africa. The elephant is more importantly encountering humans who would rather see him alive in his element than dead with his ivory being sold in China.
@ Kathryn M
The sanctuary does need the tourist. How do you think they pay for guards that provide protection from poachers, veterinariay services and medicine. There are administrative expenses as well. The sanctuary exist because there are people working for the betterment all the animals living there. The African government cannot and does not pay for everything. Therefore we do need Tourist.
I'm just waiting on one of these videos where the car doesn't start. Arrr, arr arr arr. Arrrr, arr arr arr arr arr. Arrr, arr arr arr arr arr arr arr arr. [Come on! Dammit!] Arr, arr arr arr arr arr...
Elephant was NOT ‘in musth, ready to mate nor grumpy. Why you make this stiff up is beyond me. The condition known as ‘musth’ is incredibly easy to detect, so any Guide going within 100 yds of an Elephant ‘in musth’ is an Idiot and should be placed on ‘Suicide Watch’.
Perfectly calm, chilled, relaxed and peckish, so feeding on the fruit or nuts that he could shake down from the tree.
The Guide probably reversed because he thought you would freak out at him walking past. Not necessary. Pull over and give him space to pass.
Job done.
The guide is totally saying what he thinks will get the tourists the most excited. Ugh.
You not referring to cows? Lots of aggressive show, the trunk over the tusk, and the STRUT. But then I am sure you know everything there is to know.
Why disturb the elephants of wild for tourism
You forgot to add in sick of people harassing him and his friends and family🐎
Why is nobody so understanding of my actions when im in musth?
It's upsetting to see this people trespassing the animal's kingdom land, he's not grumpy , he's pissed off, grid is the name of the game, if this glorious elephant is telling you to get tfo you should leave.
If these people did NOT “trespass the animals Kingdom”, as you put it, the land would be deemed to have little (or even - no) value as it is and it would be levelled, ALL the Wildlife would be slaughtered, and it would become farmland.
Which did you think is better - Tourists or Empty fields.
I will never go to this park ever, because of the disrespect you show to the animals?
You know it is in musk so why not just leave it alone.
H
He is magnificent! And he doesn’t like you bothering him!!! Pathetic giggling cowards 😠 give them some peace!!!
We humans shouldn't disturb their privacy
You know for the life of me I can't see anything funny in tormenting these poor animals.
Who was tormenting the animals ?
Learning about wild creatures is called enlightenment but in reality how would these people react in being treated in the same way...they deserve all that may happen to them but in the end it would be the exploited animal that would suffer again.
Elephant in musth ? Think of it as a male version of a woman weighing 6 tons on her period. `Not pretty.
Leave the majestics alone our pathetic people Linda Braime
It shouldn’t be legal for these people to harass animals
Flopping ears cause he is angry ....analysis that make sense ...
This is exactly the way I get after 2 months SR (semen retention ) Really 😁
Poo
Do not mess with an elephant in musth he is extremely angry. The tourist you should ready about elephants before going on tour. Why hurt yourself on holiday. The tour guide is putting tourists in danger
I cant believe the noise these stupid people are making around a bull ellie in full musth !!!!
Wart. y hog? Duhhhh? No it a rhino.
