      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 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.

    😂😂 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.

    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.
