Hes being very patient, very tolerant. Humoring them, lifting his foot! Very cool
Glad to see elephants being protected. This bull is so calm and content.
One of the most beautiful creatures on this planet. Just breathtaking. Please protect at all costs. We don't deserve them at this point.
I guess that elephant understands English. He holds foot up "this is how big my foot is"
Lifting his large foot was perfect to the timing of the question asked.. 🤗
Elephants lift their front feet when straining to hear - not as daft as it might appear, since they have incredibly sensitive soles to their feet and they can pick-out vibrations much more easily through them. This example, was him trying to hear (or gauge) whether the vehicle was still following him and from what sort of distance - too close and it might spell trouble (musth induced intolerance).
Nice to see a musth bull being so chill.
A simply gorgeous animal.
That's the real king of the beasts! A full grown bull Elephant has no natural enemies, and will crush anything that gets in his way!
crush ram or Gore
A big bull rhino cud
@Raine Ticket hahahaha I knoe right
HUMANS
simon payne No it couldn’t. A full grown bull elephant vs. a full grown bull Rhino would get absolutely flipped by an elephant with ease. Even a female elephant could flip a rhino with ease- don’t forget how strong these things are bro. Rhinos dont even compare
He’s a nice one in Musth! I’ve seen them actually tearing things up, having people on the run, and (unfortunately), tossing little babies around.
He's so handsome!! And that sunrise!!! Wow!
I must say,you have a wonderfully soothing voice.
"... not an insubstantial fellow." Lovely understatement of the tour. The calm of this video and your obvious appreciation of the specie makes it a delight to see.
🐘💜🌱🙏🙋💕
God please keep him safe he is a treasure!!!!
He doesn't need God's help. He is so powerful... that he doesn't even has enemies.
@Never Surrender1248 Yeah! You are right.
Blood line of Coloumbian Mammoths!
aristotels aristotals you would be wrong - big Ellie makes can kill each other - it happens
@@aristotels_aristotals not anyone in the World who don't need the help of God. He is powerful but there are humans who can kill him to fulfill their needs
*What a magnificent beast!* 😳 *It must be amazing to see one living wild and free...* 🙏🏻
What a fucking idiot
@@prehistoriccreature1800 Yes, you sure are!

U Talking to a mirror blind nigga
Holy Cow!
VT 3:00
Just as you ask how big is his foot,
he turns his head to look at you and raised his left foot to show to you.
Not only is he listening to you he's understanding you.
Good show old boy.
votus us
Beautiful creature, long may they reign
/Helen Mc Donnell /Hopefully longer than mankind!
I love the way the elephant stops and listens holding his foot up .thats so cool .i love the way he like looks out of the corner of his eye.hes massive and beautiful.i love they way that man speaks lol. Thank you for sharing a great video . ✌️☺️💞
😆😅🤣😂
Gosh what a magnificent bull! Musth or not he's just gorgeous....so majestic.
No he fucking isn't you fucking braindead mass
@@prehistoriccreature1800 Your mama didn't raise you right, butthole.
@@prehistoriccreature1800 You're not even a halfway decent troll.

At least I have one. You can't say the same

I'm the best troll your miserable eyes will ever see
Oh yes. James Hendry is one of the best and he is hilarious. Believe he has moved on to pursue his writing. Everyone including his colleagues, love him, too. I miss him.
Such beautiful footage. And then your voice, so relaxed. You are a lucky man, indeed
Elephants are so beautiful!!
No they're not you disgusting pile of shit
@@prehistoriccreature1800 Shut up piece of shit.They are raptist.
i love the way their ears flop when they’re relaxed
Exactly
Flapping ears are the body language of a relaxed, happy elephant.
Ears flattened against the head are often the body language of an elephant about to charge.
Important to note that an elephant aggresively flapping its ears is a sign of aggression. The ear flapping in this video is very gentle however.
This majestic guy is amazing and beautiful. I so love elephants. To all who work to protect these beauties, Thank you. And thanks for the video.
I like your narrative. It is very clear and concise .
The guide has a really nice demeanor.
I love his voice
Galavanta I disagree, I think he's annoying, talks far to much and a load of shit. Stfu!
^^ sounds like u got fired for him lol^^
The guide is a fox.
He is on SafariLIVE!
A most magnificent creature. One of Nature's greatest creations. We should let them in their natural habitat forever.
Dumbest comment ever
NO IT FUCKING ISN'T
An English gentleman. Nice accent and way of talking.
Beautiful and majestic animals.
So wonderful to see on video, actually out there in the wild? Breathtaking! I was lucky enough, once.
James Hendry seems like well informed guide and respectful/smart guide by keeping his distance from the Big Guy
I cant look at Elephants as simple Animals they are on a higher plain than that I think, also Whales are in the same bracket
Yes! They are spiritual as are whales
not on higher planes...their abilities are just dismissed by humans who smugly and arrogantly dismiss them.
Elephants have a brain and they are very intelligent.
I totally agree with you and have to add Gorillaz as well
And pitbull puppies
Just as he is talking about the size of its foot, this majestic creature stops, lifts its foot and keeps it up a few seconds.... Now that's what we call a real fluke....
Now that's what I call an elephant !
stoned That is the most largest and raddest bull elephant I ever seen💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
"He's not an insubstantial fellow, this..."
That's one (rather delicate) way of putting it.
Nice elephant. When you ask the size of his foot he lifts it to show you.
nsecchi1 - yeah - lol - 1 1/2 ft - magnificent, intelligent bull elephant, that’s horny!!!❤️❤️🐘🐘🐘🐘
Because the elephant speaks afrikaners and French.
🤣🤣🤣
😉😊
He is a magnificent beauty! 🐘❤️ Such majestic animals! I adore them! ❤️🐘❤️
When they zoom in for a close up you can really see how powerful thus creature is. If he turned around and charged, I hope the driver can perform a pretty good handbrake turn......
The beauty of this video just made me cry. Goodbye internet
I hope someone is protecting these animals. They are so beautiful.
It was like he held up the foot just for you.
Intelligent animal
Great voice and accent 👍🏽 managed to get some really good sound quality for this video.
Isn't him beautiful? Yes he's an amazing beautiful elephant! He's seeking to find a girlfriend, but he also needs privacy, and James Hendry was making him nervous, thank God the elephant ignored him! Thanks for sharing this marvelousl sundown, and of course this magnificent Bull Elephant❤
No worries, Jason Statham is on the wheel.
LOL he DOES look like Jason!
Transporter: Afrika!!
Uh, not really.
Yes, he sure does look like Jason 😃
😄😄😄
hey... ty so much for this vid of one beautiful elephant. I'm new to your channel and I truly enjoy listening to you and seeing gorgeous animals in their natural habitat.
I think that's a South African (Afrikkaans) accent. The broad vowel sounds are a giveaway. Of course being located where they are this accent is not surprising. I love to watch James's tour groups. He always seems to come up on interesting behavior.
Why do they lift their legs from time to time and then sometimes they will sway them back-and-forth .. thank you ‼️👏🏻 Great video😃thankyou
And how would most of us ever get to see a video like this if somebody wasn’t videoing it..Sounds like you are courteous and respectful of this great creature‼️👍🏻
Elephants are quite intelligent and can recognize human language. He is listening and following what the camera man is saying. That's why he puts out his foot when he says foot. And turns a bit to show that he is watching and listening when he mentions it.
Something about his accent probably makes tourists feel like their never in any danger even if a lion was about to have them for lunch
"And as you can see i'm being disemboweled by this lion, which is normal lion behavior when they are hungry. Oh yes!"
@@ZC.Andrew 😂😹😂😹😂😹😂
He needs beighe khakis and a ginger handlebar moustache and elephant gun slung over him to complete the look. Like the dude from the og jumanji
"Why don't I just show you my foot!" LOL!
Wow, i wish i was an elephant , the majesty, awesome
He is huge and beautiful I love them so much love your channel and what a beautiful sun I saw
The sky is BEAUTIFUL 😍💕. He's magnificent
No u stupid bitch
Good thing that ellie was not upset. :)
I was afraid any minute he was going to turn around and charge your Jeep. Glad that didn't happen.
Exactly.. Why no one is talking about it is beyond me. Except you
Very unlikely.
Look at his body language.
He's feeling very chill.
If he flattens his ears against his head, pulls his trunk up and under, and tucks his head down, that's the posture of an elephant at the moment before he goes into full charge.
he is beautiful.thanks for putting this up.
In such a situation, keeping your motor running is a musth!
Wow what a beautiful specie so big looking after him thank God
What a beast, truly great. Jason, making another movie?
An elephant in full musth? They could go in a crazy rampage at any moment. Also I've watched a lot of videos about elephants and many experts who work closely with elephants say that elephants HATE being followed like this.
Vulcan Hades Do you see how far away he is staying? Very experienced guide- and can head the other way if necessary
Old elephants can control themselves even while in musth. It is teenagers who can't control their hormones and goes apeshit while in musth attacking everything in their path. But that's exactly why old bulls like this one prevent the youngsters from entering it until they are old enough to control it
Thor Odinson - young men could learn something from the old bull elephants - lol
His foot is bigger than an extra-large pizza.
He _is_ the storm.
No it isn't LMFAO
You probably never even seen Pizza in your Life, that's how uneducated you sound
Prehistoric Creature I strongly suspect that you're trolling. You have to be.
Why else would you accuse me of sounding uneducated when your comment has a run-on sentence containing a past participle without its auxiliary verb and common nouns capitalized?
Plus, seeing an extra-large pizza is hardly a benchmark of great learning.
If you were in earnest, I sincerely feel bad for you. I hope you have nothing but better days in your future.
@@HamCubes
Oh here comes the Grammar Police
You're on the Internet bud. Nobody cares about that
Leave him alone!!
I love listening to you James, you have got a great British accent, really posh, you should do hypnosis CD's, I would listen to you while I fall asleep, oh yes?
Jajajaja
Drew 2u Yes, I didn’t think he had a British accent.
Liz Allcote For God's sake it's South African ad ut's South Africa! And there isn't a 'British Accent'. Britain is made up of different countries, England Ireland Wales and Scotland all with distinct accents and withun those countries there are yet more accents. We don't all say Old chap and jolly good show like in the movies!
I don't know where Liz comes from. But I'm German who just spends holiday weeks twice a year in UK for about 20 years and have very close friends there. And I can hear that his accent is anything but British (in fact, I was wondering where he is from). It does have more of a British sound to it than any other English speaking country accent. But definitely not a UK accent.
I like James' voice here; but on the Safari Tv show he and the other Brits talk to the viewers as if they're 10 year olds.
Beautiful, majestic beast. 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
African elephants in musth are pretty calm compared to Indian elephants, who have been known for their vicious temper and can get very dangerous and unpredictable. I've seen them tossing tuktuks and big cars like a play ball.
I think it has to do with the surroundings. In India some elephants are surrounded by a lot of people and traffic, thus the likelyhood of an elephant doing harm is greater.
Sheetal jupiter it depends on the age of the elephant too, that is why is so important for young males to have older males around. Maybe the social structure of the males is broken in India because of the interaction with people and people spaces, or maybe it’s true that it’s a biological difference as you say. It’s difficult to know with so much human interference
You don't know what you are really talking about, just google some video and see.
An elephant can barely lift a Car, let alone toss it around like you say
Stop Being a Liar to get Attention, you fucking idiot
Pls protect them. They are like as creative gifts in nature .
No they're not u fucking dumbass
That dainty little foot dangle at 1:29 🤣
A few factual mistakes in this video. Musth has *not* been definitively linked to breeding periods for males. Often, musth makes them so aggressive that they will attack any other elephant, including their own family and calves. This elephant was almost certainly *not* in full musth, he wouldn't have tolerated you being near him at all if that was the case. I can only see maybe a tiny bit of temporin, so he either was just starting or just ending musth.
I would want him as my guide.
Absolutely marvelous thank u for respecting theanimal feel sorry for them in musth they are in pain .but still look so sweet
I am an atheist but when I see something like this elephant, I kinda see god. such beauty, magnificence, such grandeur, only a god could come up with this!
Bob Lowney I agree. ❤
Bob Lowney I’m glad you can see beyond someone else’s beliefs. It’s real. Some people call it God, others call it wonderful!
wow to get up that close to these majestic animals would be a dream come true, and you show respect to these beauties and thank you for showing these wonders of creation this would make them dangerous
Thank you for explaining about must
Wow!! love your description love🐘🐘🐘❤❤❤
Una cosita muy hermosa de mama
What a handsome elephant, he looks very cool as well.
This is so cool. Thanks sir.
his foot is only 1.5 feet long? That's 18 inches.
Shaquille O'Neal's feet are 22 inches long.
That's scary.
American shoe size is not the same as inches. Shaq's feet, at size 22, are only about 15 inches long. That is still plenty impressive!
USCFlash Shaq's feet might be that long but only from toe to heel. An elephant's feet are that long in all directions
Yeah, but I back this guy to guard the paint way better than Shaq ever did.......
Shaquille's feet aren't circular ...
@ImNotMad ButUR And.... Giraffes and humans have the same number of vertebrae!
Excellent documentery.
ok...so no one thinks that elephant cant perceive what you want when someone asks the size of his foot so he stops lifts his foot and holds it still...
He sound like Zazu from Lion King
I allways feel like I'm getting educated when I watch your videos compared to the other novices .. I won't be following an elephant in musth anytime soon though! 😉
impressive, beautiful elefant ( yes, an F ) I love the creatures very much. It's funny to see you in the 'wrong car seat' ha ha.
Hi princess
Awesome Camerawork
What a beautiful boy
Poor James Hendry, was my first thought after reading the somewhat alarming title.
There is no way I'd be out there in a vehicle without a solid roof and I don't like the fact that the driver is so close to that elephant
Ma1nguy their cam has a powerful ZOOM ; he knows what he’s doing , don’t you hear him keep saying he’s giving him the necessary space ? And you think a roof would matter ? Nada
Beautiful Africa❤️
What a glorious creature. We must protect them.
He is handsome !
Tweety Kid I'd be nothing more than a peanut to him. 😄
That’s no tour guide. That’s the Mechanic.
You can tell this was scripted. This majestic elephant didn't miss one cue..Lifted foot, check. Turn, check. Show hole in ear, check. 😉 Magnificent, check!
and you are still following him....some might say you're in love...
He's so wonderful.
No u fucking fucktard
Truly a creation of God. Majestic and beautiful.😌
No it isn't u fucking disgusting pile of shit
@@prehistoriccreature1800 wow was that necessary
I think this guide could read a horror story and make it sound happy.
She ask how big the elephants foot is and the elephant turns his foot up at almost the same time and it made it look like the elephant was saying "this is how big my foot is"!!! Lol
I often wonder if Mammoths were this gentle? It would have been cool to have preserved a couple of them.
What’s that white thing hanging underneath his stomach?
He's got that jaunty musth gait.
I wanted to ride along to where he was going next! What a beautiful animal.
Elephants love water; why should a storm bother him?
large elephant to small vehicle "this is my road and you can pass when I say you can pass"
The African Bull Elephant is a beautyful majestic n powerful animal
Just a thought i read that bison will face a storm because its easier than trying to out run it
Would that be at all similar to an elephant strategy. In a storm
