I would love to see something like this it is priceless ! The elephants need the water and more watering places should be made available to the elephants !
Stephen Hooton You are so right about the cruelty and madness in this world , but there seems to be as many caring people as there is evil and that is the only thing that keeps this world going until the scales are tipped ! It is a scary world in this era !
For those worried about the Elephant drinking chlorine, don't! The typical pool chlorination level of 1-3ppm is about the same as what is used in most water humans drink. Its far too small a dose of chlorine to have any effect on even a tiny Mammal, much less something as large as an Elephant (Whose gut will dilute it very rapidly to the point that even its gut bacteria won't be affected). The "chlorinated" water here is actually probably safer than its average watering hole, as its absent of most pathogens. And if the Chlorine were at a level where there could be an issue, the eye and nose irritation from the smell would keep the elephant (And the human) away, shock chlorinated pools are not pleasant to be around. (But even they wouldn't be toxic in a lethal manner...the big guy would have some GI issues for a few days, though.)
I am glad you posted this. I always worry about them drinking that chemical and worry to death. I love all animals and we have obligation to protect them.
Nope. The stray cats around my apt complex drink from our pool all the time. They won't even drink tap water we give them. I think their kidneys can filter that out.
This is soooo beautiful !! I wouldve jumped in the pool and hoped he got in too !! Id fill the pool with juicy red apples so hed come back for a snack ...im just crazy about elephants💖💖💖💖 so beautiful, smart and majestic ...when you touch them its like tons of love energy ...they r amazing 💖
You'd jumped in and hoped the elephant will follow suit? So, when a wild elephant is next to a small human being, competing for the same watering hole, will be like, mive bitch, get out of the way, and crush you to death? That's what you're hoping for?
I loved the first 2 minutes where he wanted to approach but was unsure (I guess he noticed the humans). Kind of turned away, but not too far. Turned back toward the pool. He wanted the water but was so hesitant, turned, saw the water again, and then....finally....success!
The only African elephants I’ve ever seen in person were at the National Zoo in Washington, DC (back in the 1980s). They are magnificent animals. This must have been a remarkable experience.
2 elephants come back, then 4 then 8 etc. When you allow someone, you allow everyone. It's how laxism begins. Yet I would have allowed to drink because there is no choice, it's just too big.
Normal pool chlorination (About 1-3ppm) is the same level used in most water treatment. Its not toxic. At that dilution its only really able to kill microorganisms, and even then that's because the water is standing and it has a long effect time. It wouldn't have any effect on even a little mammal, much less one as large and with such a robust digestive system--in fact the treated water is probably safer than most watering holes the big guy drinks from. (Which is why we chlorinate most of our drinking water!)
pretty sure it is...most static pools need a water treatment of some type, unless it's salt water (which they probably would not drink anyway). But if they're thirsty enough, they'll drink pool water. But where else can a big one-tusker go for a drink AND a bath, eh? :-) So fantastic!
ELEPHANTS are plagued with HERPIES which does kill some of the elephants so maybe treated water ( may ) help in some way !? I am trying to figure out how the hell elephants became infected with HERPIES like the elephants don't have enough odds against their survival rate !
@@mohamedali5842 She meant inside of the Ele. Look how that elephant is behaving, like a little scared baby, and she does not know she could crush anyone in a heart beat.
I wonder if elephants have ever been known to drink directly with their mouth, like dipping their face into a pool like that, and drinking like a dog outta his bowl, or do they only use their trunk
It's actually kinda sad. Poor lonely male elephant. :( No friends, no social group, probably just left his family and hasn't found anybody else yet. :(
I can just hear them say... Ahhhhhhhh that feels good in this heat! I'd love to get the water hose out and drench them! Praise the Lord these are beautiful animals!
@@WildlifeObsessed, I'm not talking about trying to cover it in water with a violent splash. A gentle hand's worth. Mammals share a "play circuit" and as smart as elephants are, there's a solid chance it would pick up on that. If you think it's a guarantee that wild animals are ALL so skittish, then you've missed much of the best that UA-cam has to offer.
Terrence Medders - Sadly your vast experience of Elephants in the African Bush has somehow let you down. His experience of Man and instinct would lead him to either fight or flight. 99% chance of flight since he can’t see you.
@@WildlifeObsessed, you're right. All elephants have had bad experiences with humans, I claimed to have vast experience with elephants, and you are a sage. I apologize for intruding in your realm, your excellency.
Oh bless Him, He's lost a tusk. I hope He stays safe from poachers. We should do all We can to save them by helping the David Sheldrick Trust & by obviously boycotting ivory & saying no to elephant rides. Beautiful Boy.
Interesting gestures the elephant makes before drinking, respectful to territorial rights but testing limits. Looks a bit surprised when no response by people to headshake. (are they asleep with their eyes open?) - Just guesses on my part, I’m trying to understand these fascinating beasties.
@@SkelNeldory I'm assuming your comment was meant to be sarcastic. Much of the prime land (that which gets water on a regular basis, not flooded once a year, and is very fertile) is being taken over as farmland. Many of these farms (and, yes, cities and highways) have cut off the natural migration pathways for elephants, thereby, in essence, "boxing" them in, and creating confrontations with the farmers since they want to migrate through and/or eat their crops. The rainy season happens once a year, if they're lucky. Elephant migrations can be hundreds of miles...that should tell you how scarce fresh water sources are. Not ALL of South Africa is conducive to supporting elephant life.
@@branchen6299 I think we know that so that is why we are pleased to see this éléphant drink. I just wonder where they get the water for the pool from ?
@@emilieguillon-equitation421 Evidently, not everyone understands that. And that's a good question. I'm sure there are some spots with enough of a water table it can be tapped into by use of a well...if not, it probably has to be trucked in. Either way, if it's meant for swimming, there most certainly will be chlorine in it....even with the newer salt-based pool systems....so it can't be the best thing for the elephants.
The only thing I worry about is there chemicals in the water that could hurt the elephants or make them ill feeling or sick.. if they don’t put chemicals in great but what if they do, die it harm them. I would hope not. It was so love,y to watch this elephant enjoy himself though. I would love to have seen input in person.
It's so sad that their water supply is diminishing. So, they try to find water wherever they can. So sad! I would have large pools always filled with water for them!!! God, I wish I could do that! I feel like I want to cry for their fight for life. They are such a majestic, beautiful animal.
I am from India so I know! Elephants are very dangerous and very intelligent! After his drink... he snook behind the people to the right of screen, attacked and killed all four of the spectators and then took all camera footage and edited together and put it on UA-cam!!!
The elephants are a wild animal, but if I had the Lodge, I would pay a person to just stay at the pool, helping to ensure that when elephants show up, they are allowed to drink in peace that no customers are allowed to approach them make noise or anything while they are there, I think that you would be able to control it. If you were careful it could be managed., for one to see so much water sitting out there for no use other than humans Floating kind of just pisses me off. But it did provide a drink.
I just wondered why she is alone and only has one tusk, I think she has been warned away by other people and so wants not to take water, but these people welcomed her, as it’s her land as much as it is humans! Love elephants 💕❤️❤️
an elephant didnt hasitate to swim in water full of hippos force them to make a space, while being carefull if theres human?. They indeed know what the diff
0:44 That head shake is elephant for "I don't like this situation". The elephant must choose between exposing itself to potentially lethal humans and getting a long drink on a hot day.
I wonder how many times he has hit the pool? Imagine the size of the diving board if he wanted to take a dip. To the person that put this up if you have anymore or a up date if he's taken the plunge I bet a lot of folks that would love another video.
Awwh just look at that amazing little but big 🐘 he was so scared n cautious of his surroundings he was hesitant about getting some 💧 but, when he did finally take a drink, he also took a dip in his neighbors pool. oh well thats what they get for having no fence! 😂
Greedy human. Small creature human being uses, wastes, pollute more water, while big creature lack the same... even for drinking ... This is not end of life on earth, but sign of end of greedy human race on earth ...😣
go here rad flam those flies off ya. man elephant knows soft and hard water. the water in this hour 12-3pm the water is still soft, by 5-12pm is getting coarse. so those Ellie's came in just in time. look at them slurping all h2o.😄🏖️🏝️🌊
When these pachyderms drink chlorinated water from these pools then their intestinal biomes could be killed off causing all kinds of physiological problems.

A lot of national parks in Africa already have artificial drinking pools.
Stephen Hooton ? Is that true?

Chlorine Cl2 doesn't stay long in water it gets reduced to the harmless chloride ion Cl- so no worry there

Has too be the biggest stray dog I ever seen.. Should call him Snaggletooth...
If the big fella needs a drink he needs a drink, he's doing no harm

Oui il n’ose pas venir mais il a tellement soif.
Et quelle délicatesse
i love it how he wasn't sure if he dares to drink from the pool in front of the people :'D

Bull elephant usually live by themselves and travel around looking for women.
He's itching for a dip, but can't.
He lost a tusk along the way, so he may be traumatized and is now very careful.

Jesse Fritz Jah bless them almighty.
That water must have tasted so good. Thank you for the charming video. I wonder how alone the visitor was given the single tusk.

Must have lost it in a fight or something
Fighting over women...
Yes it's odd it should have one tusk. As you say fighting over woman.

I know this is crazy but did it seem like he was using sign language with his trunk to motion that he just wanted to take a drink and wash his face
In all these such cases I wonder if the water is chlorinated? I figure it is and it must taste better than some waterholes.
