true... i was in a zoo and there was a box which said there u can see the most dangerous animal on earth... i opened it and saw whats inside... it was a Mirror!
The men perfectly understood the body language of the elephant. The elephant was simply curious and didn't consider the men and their vehicle as a threat. Or else it would be snoring with widespread ears and tail raised. Even so, the men did a great job in keeping their cool and staying calm.

@@Rick-ur5ej They dont allow guns into reserve. And even still try and shoot it and injure it the elephant's friends and family will come for them and decimate them.
I worked as a safari guide for 10 years, got very close to elephants. There was physical contact there, tracker was totally cool. The body language of the elephant non-aggressive. Still a bit dangerous because if things change there is no time to respond. Having said that those big bulls often become very habituated, and in areas where they are not poached or hunted they become very relaxed and predictable. Awesome experience!!!
this elephant seemed unfazed by the humans. got the feeling the elephant knew from prior experience there might be something to eat in it for him and he checked them out for it. hope the tourists are instructed not to carry any food with them.
If you encounter an elephant like that and it tries to attack you, just say "STOP" , the elephant is not allowed legally to hurt you without your permission
@@GenEmperor He's not that far off (besides the law thingie). When an elephant charges, it's most often a mock charge, when you stand your ground and yell, it will back away. A mock charge can be mostly differentiated by a relaxed trunk, when the trunk is curled better pray that your tour guide has something loud to scare the elephant away.
@@Cassxowary Don't be silly. The innumerable deaths caused by elephants throughout the whole of history were obviously due to a wide variety of reasons. Not everyone "had it coming". Do you suppose that an elephant has never killed a baby in the last few millennia, for example?

Elephant: "My nostrils indicate you have pooped your pants sir" afew seconds later.. Elephant: "My nostrils indicate the whole group has now pooped their pants.. I'm gonna go now."
The ellie probably knows the ranger well so both parties know how to behave. Elephants have mediocre eyesight but smell much better than dogs so they can easily tell us apart by smell.
That was beautiful. The Elephant saw they were no threat and then tried to have a friendly communication with the human-things for a moment. Sensing they were of good spirit, the lead elephant left them alone and moved on.
That elephant was very kind one.. He just checked whether there is any threat to his group or not. Otherwise he was OK with the presence of the strangers in his territory..
Well that only works for some elephant . And in africa there was elephant massacre. If any elephant survive from that. They always remember what human do to their species. Human scary As F*ck
I come from this region in africa and that Is as real as it gets. Priceless moment. Well done ti the camera man for remaing in a monotone way. Simply lovely.
What did you do today?? Sat in my chair as Wild Elephant approached me... Nothing Big... How about you..? Sat on the couch and watched this video from the safety of my home..😳
The elephant calmly and curiously investigated the people/ car because it was an unusual sight. There was no aggression at all... Just watch how gently he puts his trunk on the guy and sniffs... What a gentle giant🐘❤️❤️
ofc he didn't budge. he knows his stuff. it's an elephant, not a hippo, rhino or lion. one false move and you might startle the elephant, that is when things get out of hand.
The brain's masculine power mostly comes from testosterone, hence male criminals and fighters are far more common than female ones. Male hormones are the key, related to "balls".
the art of communication. Something many people still unable to do properly. Elephant comes over "what are you? Who are you?" Guy is relaxed, his body languages says "look buddy, no danger here, alright?" Elephant says :" oh okay, no danger, lemme check what's up there and I'll be gone"
Exactly. He is designated to protect the tribe/herd/group. So, he will step forth to analyze what's happening with these strange anamolies, like noise making creatures aka jeeps, funny looking creatures inside them, Us. As long as he is satisfied that there's no harm here, we are all safe. That's the reason why, we need to keep our mouths shut when there is a problem ahead and think rather than respond immediately.
Right!!!! Tell all the people who have been killed by an elephant the same thing. This is stupid people doing stupid things. Just because you think you’re “communicating” with an animal doesn’t mean he feels the same. You give them space by staying away and observing, not trying to get in their space, that’s crazy. One swipe of his trunk and you got a vid for when good times go bad.
@@marias7599 sure. But he means "friendly elephant". Some of these elephants are used also in india and they are treated correctly. (Like a horse in a ranch for example) But yeah, a "savage elephant" act differently and free. You have to adapt.
RicoTorreze The female crossed first, then the male came out (the guy off camera called him a ‘boy’, but u can tell bcuz he’s bigger than the other 2). As the male is checking them out you can see a juvenile cross behind him. The male was checking out the humans to make sure there was no threat to the juvenile. He sensed no threat so moseyed on his way. If he had sensed threat he would have called out an alarm long b4 his approach & more elephants would have come charging. Yes some may have been killed but the humans would have been the ones left worse off. More that likely these men were nature reserve employees and the elephants are quite use to them.

How cute.... I got to ride a Asian elephant in Thailand. They're magnificent creatures that God had made. They're not dumb whatsoever and very sensitive like humans.
Everyone else figures he was scoping them out as a threat but he probably just wanted the hoomans to 'mire' his tusks. He seemed almost disappointed at the end, he was waiting so patiently too
Ha ha ha ha! I think I was doing the exact same thing! .. That is so funny!! Absolutely MAGNIFICENT ANIMAL! JUST AMAZING... What an experience! I wasnt there; But I feel like I was there!! Ha ha ha ha!
You can clearly see by the Elephants behaviour and body language, that it means no harm. Its just interested. Its ears are folded down, indicating that it is not angry.
My mom used to be a travel agent and we had the opportunity to go to South Africa (I’m an American), and we got to do some pretty cool things due to how rich her boss was. One of them was a private safari, and we actually had elephants come up to our safari car and stick their trunks into the vehicle. They were really pleasant and very evidently just wanted some form of snack. Very gentle creatures!
Depends on the reserve and the state of the elephants. Sounds like you were at Addo elephant park, their elephants are friendlier unless you have citrus (then you risk getting attacked). I would not risk that at the Kruger National Park. There have been cars crushed when people try to get too close to the elephants. The rangers become familiar with the body language and nature of the different herds, so they would know when it is safe. And the elephants are also more familiar with the safari cars as well, so less risk of spooking them.
@@christinevanzyl3106 my guy, Kruger elephants scare me, my profile pic is actually of a lion from Kruger that was just walking down the road back in 2012. Kruger used to be much nicer back then for seeing this stuff but when I went recently it was hard to spot anything exquisite
Oceania Times personally I am planning to start something like that in nxt year. Not dis year cause I want to do research first on different video. I would be happy if someone like u will join me.
Wow loved this so majestic .. my favourite animal on the planet .. what an experience altho I would have crapped myself at the size of it .........🏃♀️ 🐘 run away run away .....
Let it approach you, let it touch you, let it sniff you. It touch you to feel your rhythm. If it confortible to your rhythm, it will sniff you to memorize you. Next time it sees you, it will treat you as neighbour
@TAKEDOWN african elephants store morula fruits in their trunks fermenting it to alcohol, and once it get drunk it can be a dangerous animal for everything.
Thanks for uploading!! What a graceful animal!! Come to think of it: Without existence of this diverse animal kingdom, how boring place the planet would have been it would have been!!??
That would be the behaviour of a domesticated elephant. But this one is wild , so I don't think it's used to being fed by people. Probably just trying to sniff them.
Na, wild animals don't act like that. This elephant was clearly curious, not nervous, but her mood could have changed in a split second. A breeze flapping a t-shirt could have been enough to make her charge.
I don’t think it’s anything magical. The animal is huge and could snap you in half or easily crush you. This awareness triggers the release of many chemicals in the brain like adrenaline and heightens your senses making the moment seem longer and more intense.
They didn't notice the other elephant behind them pick pocketing all their valuables

Wow, that elephant was so calm! I'm impressed.
Meeting a man with such huge balls and actually approaching him deserves respect.
Elephant : Yo hoooooman come on don't be scared ,
Let me pet you...
You are so cute.
Everyone else figures he was scoping them out as a threat but he probably just wanted the hoomans to 'mire' his tusks. He seemed almost disappointed at the end, he was waiting so patiently too
In fact I have read that elephants view us the same way as we do dogs! So most probably found him cute.
I don't think he thought they were cute. He basically patted them down.
@@uzithedreadpoet6777 he was probably sniffing them out
Apparently elephants look at us the way we look at puppies they think we're cute ☺☺
he probably fainted in that sitting position ,
jyothish sudhakaran lol
maybe he shit his pants
jyothish sudhakaran What.
XD i died 😂
jyothish sudhakaran lol .. yeah . he was all unconscious during that situation
Wow, what an amazing, powerful experience to have!
Yes i really wanted some serious elephant knowledge here but got only bad jokes.profound really tho.
Only the elephant witnessed the horror stricken face of the brave man. None should know was their mutual understanding.
Best comment ever!
@ ✌😁😄
Not sure why I was trying to stay calm and still while watching the video 😂😂😂
Exactly 🤣🤣🤣
Me too
Ha ha ha ha! I think I was doing the exact same thing! ..
That is so funny!!
Absolutely MAGNIFICENT ANIMAL!
JUST AMAZING...
What an experience!
I wasnt there; But I feel like I was there!!
Ha ha ha ha!
I did the same
I didn't want to scare away the elephant.
You can clearly see by the Elephants behaviour and body language, that it means no harm.
Its just interested.
Its ears are folded down, indicating that it is not angry.
Elephant was brave, because he never ever met real humans.
PROOF:-. He still got his teeth.
What do they do with teeth
They are rangers and protect them from getting poached idiot kids

My mom used to be a travel agent and we had the opportunity to go to South Africa (I’m an American), and we got to do some pretty cool things due to how rich her boss was. One of them was a private safari, and we actually had elephants come up to our safari car and stick their trunks into the vehicle. They were really pleasant and very evidently just wanted some form of snack. Very gentle creatures!
Sketchy boss :o
Depends on the reserve and the state of the elephants. Sounds like you were at Addo elephant park, their elephants are friendlier unless you have citrus (then you risk getting attacked). I would not risk that at the Kruger National Park. There have been cars crushed when people try to get too close to the elephants. The rangers become familiar with the body language and nature of the different herds, so they would know when it is safe. And the elephants are also more familiar with the safari cars as well, so less risk of spooking them.
@@christinevanzyl3106 my guy, Kruger elephants scare me, my profile pic is actually of a lion from Kruger that was just walking down the road back in 2012. Kruger used to be much nicer back then for seeing this stuff but when I went recently it was hard to spot anything exquisite
Lucky you
@@shaun_M1 what changed in the last 8 years?
Elephant: O hi der. Any food? Hello? Are you listening? Hellooooo 👋 Sheesh. Weirdo.
Dude u should make memes
Oceania Times personally I am planning to start something like that in nxt year. Not dis year cause I want to do research first on different video. I would be happy if someone like u will join me.
Oceania Times ill reply u here when we will start
Exactly !! its so clear.
Oceania Times my thoughts exactly 😂😂😂😂😂
Awww look at this beautiful majestic giant Elephant.How wonderful, to see a huge elephant up so close.I love it.🐘🐘
Prehistoric park (2006)
Wow loved this so majestic .. my favourite animal on the planet .. what an experience altho I would have crapped myself at the size of it .........🏃♀️ 🐘 run away run away .....
Elephants have extraordinary memory. i think he is memorizing the humans smell
Much as a dog will when he first sniffs his master's hand.
Of course, it goes without saying that elephant also have a superb sense of smell.
Let it approach you, let it touch you, let it sniff you.
It touch you to feel your rhythm. If it confortible to your rhythm, it will sniff you to memorize you. Next time it sees you, it will treat you as neighbour
Not only do they have good memory, but they can even recognize themselves in a mirror.
soph galv It must smell bullshit then
damn that was well-described as fuck... thanks
American: check out my pitbull.
Russian: that's cute, check my bear.
Kenyan: when y'all stop goofing off I'd like you meet my best friend...
And thais
@JOEL AND ELLIE DIE in the last of us 2 African elephants are much bigger and more dangerous
@TAKEDOWN yes we are🐘🙏🏼
@TAKEDOWN african elephants store morula fruits in their trunks fermenting it to alcohol, and once it get drunk it can be a dangerous animal for everything.
@TAKEDOWN hence "best friend" not "my pet...".
Love elephants and what a moment to be that close to one of God's beautiful creatures. The ears were back for the most part. Good sign.
There is no 'God', you have Mother Nature to thank.
@@shaunpierce4174 Mother nature doesn't exist and it's used by people who can't say the word God fearing offending others. God is alive and well.
@@marylawson6060 Amen 🙏
@dick trickle ironically it is not the religious who are sheep ouo
Thanks for uploading!!
What a graceful animal!! Come to think of it: Without existence of this diverse animal kingdom, how boring place the planet would have been it would have been!!??
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL RELATIONSHIP OF THE BEAST AND PERSON SITTING ON THE CREATED SEAT. *RESPECT BOTH WAYS & LOVE BOTH WAYS IS THE EXAMPLE*
@Dredgen One The seat and the human on the seat?
...That moment when someone in the back of the Jeep unexpectedly sneezes
fck 😂
🤦🤦🤦
Dam they would all be dead
@@skritzzyt6633 Probably, or the elephant might jump out of it`s skin and run for dear life.
@Jamie Lang 😂😂😂😂lol
Think they just wanted food, signaling with his trunk to his mouth.
That would be the behaviour of a domesticated elephant. But this one is wild , so I don't think it's used to being fed by people. Probably just trying to sniff them.
There is no such thing as a domesticated elephant. A tamed or a captive elephant, yes, but they are not domesticated.
Yea tamed is what I meant 👍
^^
@@eiririn4616 I been to a circus ur telling me the niggas where dancing cause they wanted to? because tamed means the same thing as domesticated
Me: *Opened UA-cam*
UA-cam: *Let's recommend him 5 years old "nerves of steel"*
I think everyone in that car collectively shat themselves when the radio went off.
Dreadfury , okay...Yes chef! 😁
😆 I know right. Just like in all the movies someone is trying to hide and their cellphone goes off. Everybody is like ohhhhh nooooo
I know I definitely did. From the comfort of my own couch!
those guys where just lucky to meet the elephant in a good mood.
That elephant has great humanity..stop.. what?🤔🤔🤔 Nope..it's elephanity!! 🤗
ELEPHANTITY
Perfect !!!!!!
@@drmvenkateshvenkatesh7038 fan titty? as a matter of fact...
Absolutely amazing video. Truly nerves of steel.
Hey, next time he smells him, he will remember the man,
Yah elephants dont forget
For life time 🕒
Just wondering if man wasn't already familiar to elephant?
You mean smells his balls.... 1:38 😆😆
I mean, gotta stay calm so the elephant stays calm
My wet pants
Act like you belong there, and the whole car is your body. The elephants respect size and they respect lack of fear.
Na, wild animals don't act like that. This elephant was clearly curious, not nervous, but her mood could have changed in a split second. A breeze flapping a t-shirt could have been enough to make her charge.
Famous last words 😂😂
@@juttamaier2111 Welcome to UA-cam. A 3 minute video and suddenly everyone's an elephant expert.
Guy: Please don’t scratch my car.
Me: Listen mate, he’s a goddamn elephant. He can do whatever he wants.
This made me breathe a little bit more air out of my nose than usual. Congrats
I wondered what the guy was thinking. A 6 ton behemoth feels like scratching my car? Better risk my life and tell it to piss off.
Aerin thanks brother. Cheers 🍻
Mark lol sure mate, tell em how ya really feel aye?
I mean, he said please :)
Elephant was like "Are you enjoying your safari? Too bad if something were to happen to you now."
Just don't let tourists think they can also do this.
the reason the Elephant was even gesturing for food is cause humans feed them.
It wasn't gesturing for food.
+Harry Brown Nope he was using his trunk to sniff, informational assessment.
lmao anil
“Balls of steel” should be the right title.
it's not balls of steel.
The guy scared shitless he couldn't move cuz he's paralyzed
😂😂😂
That could be considered Copy-Right-Infringement since papa smurf did not sign off on that transaction.
Balls of steel for the both of them
how about 'we gave grandpa too much valium'
That is so cool! The elephant was just curious. He'd probably never seen a human strapped to the bumper of a car before 😜 Hahahahahahaha
😂😂😂
Lol
"How calm would you be in this situation?" I'm freaking out just watching the video.
The guy probably took “Statue” game too seriously !!
He wouldn't have been alive if he hadn't done that
It dosen't look scary coz it's in your phone screen. The aura that surrounds an elephant is unprecedented
Is this aura thing proven and accepted widely?
I don’t think it’s anything magical. The animal is huge and could snap you in half or easily crush you. This awareness triggers the release of many chemicals in the brain like adrenaline and heightens your senses making the moment seem longer and more intense.
@Bryan birdchest Callen so, aura is just a theory yet.
The Aura that surrounds your comment is very underwhelming.
@@maxwelll1978 what does it matter. It's not about my comment, it's about the guy with the balls of steel and that huge elephant.
Sign of RESPECT by either side...thats what really matters.
Q
He CLEARLY has had experienced alot of life issues cause the patience and resilience he displayed lolol he can face anything
