I bet the Elephants are getting smarter because of all of the attacks by humans!
AMEN!!
Agreed !!!
The strength of an Elephant is something that never ceases to amaze me.
Wasn’t a attack it’s only a mild warning
Elephant wasnt angry, HE WAS PISSED
thats the same thing
@@Shaolin_Chris pissed is angrier than angry, imo😅
The Elephant is not a punk as this man just said. He was minding his jungle business and yall started messing with him and the rest was history.😮
Jungle?
@@patriciabrosig4334I know right? So racist!
🤣🤣🤣
Since when is the word Jungle Racist?😂
Agreed, I thought it was a Stupid remark
"Enough is enough!", said the elephant. 😂😂😂 #teamelephant
Don't play chicken with an elephant!!
It was at that moment that the tourists knew they had fucked up. 😅
This precious baby was just protecting the surroundings …💚🙏
Humans should stay away from the elephant 🐘 territory.
❤
Yeah cause it's not your tourism industry that will suffer. There are other ways of seeing the animals without aggravating them...and male elephants get aggressive out if the blue. They have been doing this for years and not hurting the animals.
@@etherean369 Is that your considered view because you've studied elephants for years? I think this particular bull elephant has just contradicted you. Perhaps you should challenge him to a duel. LOL
Perhaps learn to build something of your own. That would probably help and give the elephants some space.
Ok libtard😂
@@viewfromthehighchair9391wow always libtards commenting bs😂
Maybe he's mad, that people are profiteering off them, invading their space, flashing cameras at them.... I'd be pissed too
Elephant has every right to defend his property if invaded 🤷♂️
💯💯💯
🤣
🐘 said not today!!!
I don’t feel bad. Humans are taking their land and we need to respect their paths that their ancestors created so that they can thrive. Elephants populations is slowly dwindling.
We have to stop being “tourist”. It served them right for invading their space. Leave them alone!
🤡
Animals don't own land. Animals must share the land, as well. The problem is that humans destroy land that they inhabit - ruining it for other species. It should be said that it's largely not native inhabitants doing this, but foreigners who don't respect the animals aand see them only as something to gawk at or take from.
I don't feel bad either. Leave these beautiful animals in peace!!
Animal will animal and nothing else. We don't provoke animals and expect them to react like humans no way
They got to close. Its not the elephants fault.
YOU MESS WITH THE BULL 🐂 YOU GET THE HORNS
Or the 🦷 in this case!😅
you are in their home, respect them!!!
Elephant 🐘 : at least give me some food not just take a picture 🖼 of me...
There is a wonderful classic film called " Elephant Walk" where the Elephants get revenge. It is great.
The driver did all he could..These tourists are fortunate they survived this adventure,,,One thing for sure they got a adventure!
@@curio78 Thank you for telling us the truth!!
@@EM-mw2qr Full video: watch?v=INNrT7HwjZU
As soon as I saw the video title I already knew that it was some ignorant, barbaric tourists who agitated the elephant. I have been on at least 16 safaris. We had zero incidents with the animals because everyone abided by the rules and the driver's instructions, and we all respected the animals.
I am on the Elephant's side. We have abused animals and encroached on their land and killed many animals to extinction. I would never go on a Safari. How would you like to be only limited to a fenced area (not be able to roam free)and have people gawk and point at you and take pictures. Think about it.
EXACTLY
You go Mr. Bull Elephant.
Are you into necrophilia
Incoming keyboard warriors with their expert opinion on what to do in that situation 😂😂
Elephant: I SAID NO PICTURES!!
Humans need to keep away from elephant. Thank God no one was harmed
I was on safari in Pilanesburg South Africa 10 years ago, and our truck was charged by an elephant. The elephant was behind us and the safari driver gunned the engine to get away. We were taken by surprise. The elephant gave chase for about 15 seconds but then turned around and went back to his starting point when he was satisfied we were departing his area. I nearly crapped my pants.
Maybe the elephant 🐘 wanted his private time and the humans were invading it. Clearly, he wasn’t in the mood for paparazzi! 😂🤣😂🥹 👩🏽
That elephant was letting them all know to back up especially if that was a local watering hole. He was most likely trying to look out for the rest of the other animals at the watering hole. I don't blame that elephant at all.
It was the tourist’s fault, not the elephant’s. People ignore rules and try to blame the animal.
Elephant: wtf kind of elephant are you?
Humans always fucking imposing..
Nature is getting tired of us "hoomans" showing up unannounced. Have manners....CALL FIRST!!! And don't EVER call a full grown bull elephant a "punk"....🤣.....that's a fighting word.
The power of that elephant was insane.😮
Are they not entertained? 😆
💀💀💀💀💀
I love you Mr Elephant.......If you go in his territory beware 😮
Elephant said f* around and find out
Michael, Sign that elephant to the Giants offensive line!!
People just won't leave wildlife live in peace
They are all very fortunate that elephant was just warning them! He could have really messed them up! Wonder what was going on before they started recording...
"I told you kids to stay off my lawn!" 🐘
How odd…our pet elephants never behave this way at home, must not like the strangers😂😂😂
Just like people in Yellowstone who think Bison are tame and can be petted and end up gored. Common sense is so lacking when perceiving dangerous situations these days.
Animals are sick of having territory being invaded.Noisy tourists shouting and taking photos,leave animals alone! He was not serious about hurting anyone,if he was,they would be dead!
They learned that day.😬
Elephants are the actual king of the jungle, not the lion. You can see why
You don't need to be faster than the elephant,
you only need to be faster than whoever is with you! 😲🤨
The tourists fault,this is the elephants domain.
That was Scary😮Im Glad that Every body is ok🙏🏾❤️💯
Woah !! Yeah, don't piss off the wild elephant.
That elephant hate it, when these tourists invaded his privacy!
Bull elephants are not easy to handle, i hope this bull is not in musth.
Leave the elephants alone
That elephant is tired of us humans coming into they space and homes so I understand he wasn’t feeling that shit that day 🤷🏽♂️😂
The elephant was just defending his territory.., his home...😐👏🤝
The driver thought the elephant is looking for trouble when in fact, he just want the driver to give way
Apparently, this Elephant is some “punk”. He was down af. 🐘💯❗
Well, they got too close, what did they expect? Probably ignored the warnings given beforehand. At least the guide managed to handle the situation safely.
There should have been NO situation to begin with!
Who are they gonna investigate there. they are in the animals territory! We go and encroach on these animals domain and then want THEM to bow down to OUR creation. They didn't get that memo!! GO ELEPHANT!
it's his -elephants- turf after all. the tourists sure got a surprise.
Clearly he didn't want to truly reverse
This is The Full African experience visit
WOW...what an adventure!
You think they’ll have that on the tour? -Dr Malcomn
Glad I didn't take my Mema out there!😂
I feel for the elephant
It is also breeding season and the males are overly aggressive this time of year. On one of the watering hole live streams two days ago, a male walked up to a giraffe drinking at the watering hole and out of nowhere disemboweled it.
He took out the bowels???
😂😂 The so called zoology expert 's advice on elephants is trash and will get you killed. I lived in a place called Nottingham in Zimbabwe, its pretty much an elephant city. Never ever challenge a horny bull, or else you will get killed. Unless of cause you have been completely cornered and have no space to run, in that case, that's when you need to make as much noise as possible. However, this is just a gamble and cannot guarantee your safety. The best advice is to run for your dear life, whenever an opportunity presents itself. Even the African bushmen who have more practical experience with wild elephants know this.
Or was the safari truck attacking the elephant????
He said i don't want to be your entertainment no more!
Elephant: wtf kinda Elephant are you???
Game ranger”enough”
elephant be like I say when enough is enough
Elephant: I’m walking here
Why didnt the driver just back up
He did dmfk
Did you not listen to what was being said? The elephant was confronting the tourists, and the driver got into the truck to try to scare the elephant away using the truck. It worked. The elephant backed off.
@@anyaw340 no. It did NOT work.
"GET OFFA MA PROPERTY!"
It’s like going into someone else’s home and not expecting them to react. Let wild animals be wild and leave them alone!
And so what if the truck is destroyed with occupants inside? Let the mammal live his life.🤷♂️
This happened to me I was studying in South Africa & our night tour crossed paths w/ a juvenile elephant. When this happens the drivers rev the engine and do exactly what you see here to make themselves look bigger. There is a crisis in the parks there w/ male elephants because they are a Matriarchal animal & when the females are poached the males run rampant and form "gangs". Part of their aggression stems from levels of Testosterone spiking w/out the female counter balance. Another thing an aggressive elephant will do is sway back and forth.
Who needs tow trucks😂😂😂
🐘 is like: WHERE'S MY 🥜!?!
Leave the animals alone
Animals have their territory and will defend it. People need to respect their boundaries.
truck mechanic says you have some strange tie rods and shocks damage...how did this happen. The guy said you won't believe this if I told you
Having no gun with you as a guide it’s criminal in my opinion, you risk the lives of so many people
He was probably in rut
I know the park. There is nowhere to run. They were conered in a lake viewing deck, and the elephant stood at the parking exit. They might have been there a while. You can be there an hour waiting for an elephant to finish eating or taking shelter from the sun. Meanwhile, everyone is on the clock.
In Canada, polar bear tours take place on extremely large vehicles, while in Africa, where the animals are even bigger, they opt for small, open vehicles.
Polar bears are some of the most dangerous animals in the planet so it makes sense
They needed to back off away from the elephant. The safari driver was wrong. Elephants don’t attack people first no reason. People promoted poor behavior
Well, you show up in their house uninvited...🤠
that elephant sure is mad and he could be in musth
i also hate people who don't respect my personal space. i would also snap if they would try to take my pictures too
The noise people in the truck were making was farts.
the elephant wants the tiktok back
Aw it's nice to see ron magill
“Mixed reviews online.” The internet’s full of those who know. Ha!
That Elephant is far from being a punk... just saying.
The driver was just antagonizing the elephant more.
Terrifying? I prefer hilarious. Go visit the lions next and don't forget your camera. 😂
Lol this is kind of hilarious.
even the animal kingdom is sick of them folks …
