@@nunuheroberto9913. Ooooh! Are you going to post any pics? Man I love to see the giants. I’ve never seen any in person and likely won’t. That must’ve been thrilling 🥰
I must be blind, I see no "attack" and you and millions of others are encroaching on his territory, he's just taking a walk and probably just protecting his family, this is a good video and thanks for posting, you're so lucky, you got to see this in real life! He's a beauty!
Looks very young bull. Shape is like Grate Tim I wish and pray he will gain similar tasks too. Please protect him to be witnessed by the next generation.
He is huge, healthy and and well built. , Note he is not charging.. he is just walking his way.. because he surrounded. and till the point of walking away.. he is surrounded by many vehicles.. !! he is just curious as he walks.. out of all vehicles.
That elephant was definitely pissed off. The ear flapping and the continual advancing toward the bus is a clear warning to bugger off. The bus driver knows it, too.
Not charging, but you forget how Hugh some of these are, very lucky for the tourists that it didn't charge, would have been some serious injuries, they are so strong and beautiful
Most definitely not a charge... I was charged by an elephant in Botswana when I cycled past it on the road from Kazangula to Nata, theres a lot of noise and elephants run at incredible speed!
If all the vehicles had just stayed still the elephant would have passed them by without incident. All of them reversing away like that was just complicating his exit from the waterhole and making him uneasy. The big bulls are normally real gentlemen its the cows with calves people need to steer clear of.
I think by the time the elephant saw the bus as a living thing, the best thing to do would be move away so at least it's clear you aren't trying to challenge the elephant. I don't know, just guessing...
I agree, there was NO threat display by the elephant at all, it was just ambling along amusing itself, probably wanted to sniff the bus and look into it, didnt see any problem, I would not have backed off.
This is sort of like how the mama mockingbird circles and confronts you when you're too near her nest......without the noise and dive bombs 🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘😁❤🐘
based on? That's a big assumption to make! The bus is big & threatening to the elephant, what experience do you have to understand the elephant was "curious" as opposed to chasing the opposing large male elephant (bus) out of it's territory? I would trust the drivers experience over yours I'm afraid
@H P They flap their ears to cool themselves. They will hold their ears out to make themselves appear larger, but given the rest of the elephant's actions; no head lowering or trumpeting, it looked pretty relaxed.
note Elephant walking down road. Path of least resistance. the elephants use the roads to cover distances between waterholes. If the vehicles stayed put the elephant bull would simply walk around them and carry on down the road.
The elephant is not attacking ,it's just curious it want to inspect the strange creature ( the green bus) and smell it.Before the elephant attack it warn,and it's not warning here.
Pfft . . that elephant wasn't charging that bus - he was trying to get through the traffic jam - I count at least 7 vehicles. Notice how he stops when they do? But it does look like he's learned he can make cars back up. He should call for the baboons - now they can inflict some serious damage ripping bits off your vehicle.
I've experienced elephants doing this sort of thing with a bus I was on in Kruger. There, the elephant was a lone, large bull. He causally walked at our bus head-on and then, at the last instant, slowly 'charged' the bus with the ears out. When the ears are out, I have been told that it is a false charge (head lowered and ears back is presumably a for-real charge). The elephant seen in this clip, like the Kruger elephant, appears to be having fun intimidating folks. Bet he's done this before!
For the respect of the animal and for the safety for the tourists, is it possible to have one way roads in these national parks so the animal don't need to be between cars arriving from two directions ?
Maltebyte2 - My money would be on the Elephant turning the bus over on its side and wrecking it completely. Bus heavier, but centre of gravity makes the strength of the Bull, especially one as big as this fella, overwhelmingly in his favour. Folks should not feed these fellows - that's what he's looking for. No charge evident !
That thing is dangerous. It should definitely be eliminated, or at least contained in a controlled area. I'm talking about the bus, obviously. The elephant was fine.
Would have loved to have seen this at normal speed but the uploader obviously posted it in ultra slow motion so we could see it better. I'd estimate in normal speed that elephant was probably running at that bus at approximately 30MPH.
Showing the same video changing title is not interested.I think, it is better not to change the title. I fall in confusion sometime whether it is genuine or edited.You may accept or reject my suggestion.
Absolutely .. In the name of developing tourism, we are tresspassing into their territory and disturbing them .. They are happily coexisting with other animals .. Deers, wildasses
There are too many vehicles intruding in elephant's domain. They should all be banned. The elephants don't need anymore stress and aggravation in their lives
and meanwhile, who is funding the elephant's domain? What's stopping it being developed into farmland? I would guess it's probably the tourist dollars from those people in the bus & other vehicles that fund the land remaining the elephant's home. There are too many vehicles there it would seem, but balance is needed, can't just lock them away & think humans won't buy the land & evict the elephant tenants completely - that's how humans work!
The elephant"s confidence and power 😍
Luckily for everyone that Elephant was relaxed and just showing the people who actually OWNS the road! 😂 Awesome :)
So huge and taller than the bus! What a fabulous creature!
13 years later I’m still waiting to see the elephant charge your bus. 😳. I do love that he’s bigger than the bus. He’s huge!!
Saw one today in the Etosha park that is potentially bigger than this one
@@nunuheroberto9913. Ooooh! Are you going to post any pics? Man I love to see the giants. I’ve never seen any in person and likely won’t. That must’ve been thrilling 🥰
That elephant was just showing who the boss was
Elephant: So you say you are a bus!
Bus: "No, I'm a corolla"
Retreat is not always the best course, sometimes it brings you to the elephants attention. Such beautiful creatures!
That elephant is taller than the bus! 😮
He is Huge ,more than likely the patriarch of the herd just looking out for his family 💙
@@pennysue8849 nah. elephant herds are led by matriarchs. it is a lone male elephant. males are always alone.
@@wenweisu99 no there is always one of both and each year the other bulls will try and dethrone him ..but he's always there watching
Legend has it the bus is still reversing to this day, it's made several successful circles of the globe.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
These huge creatures knows no boundaries.
It’s hardly charging is it, more of a gentle stroll
🤣😂🤣 I was like what charge..looks like it's just out for a walk.
Yes, just following the bus, maybe hoping for food to be tossed out for him.
He try try to push out all those stupid tourists from his house.
Larger than the bus size. My goodness gracious 😳😳
This is HIS land!

Well said.. How pacified is it..
Where did you see attack? He was charging.
@@louisevanderlinde8590 It happened just off screen?
Lovely how he makes all the nice cars scatter!😁
Looks very young bull. Shape is like Grate Tim I wish and pray he will gain similar tasks too. Please protect him to be witnessed by the next generation.
Hermosísimo e impresionante Elefante 🤗😍🐘❤️🥰🥰👍👍
It was not a charge,but that bus guide probably was experienced and knew to back out of the way.No chances were taken.😯
Imagine being taller than a damn bus😂😂😂 what an absolute unit.
He's very cute but a little on the big side of life - instant pet!
what a wonderful creature lives on earth...
Great video, pity the description was false, elephant was just strolling along.
He is huge, healthy and and well built. , Note he is not charging.. he is just walking his way.. because he surrounded. and till the point of walking away.. he is surrounded by many vehicles.. !! he is just curious as he walks.. out of all vehicles.
There's only disrespect towards the elephants. Unfortunately it happens everyday. What a sad scene.
I agree. It is disgusting
When does the charging start? He’s surrounded by safari vehicles and is looking for an escape route. No aggressive moves, o trumpeting.
I totally agree. Poor elephant.
True bro!
Yes , very much so
Slowest charge I have ever seen.
@@artmills7957 He's still charging as of today.......
That elephant was definitely pissed off. The ear flapping and the continual advancing toward the bus is a clear warning to bugger off. The bus driver knows it, too.
That elephant wasn't CHARGING the bus! He was moving closer so he could read the licence plate.
+Wilfrid G OR ASK THE DRIVER FOR DRIVER'S LICENSE OR TO INSPECT VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND INSPECTION STICKERS
exactly
Did u just assume the elephants gender
Basicslomotion no he didn't
Fuck you and your silly joke
Wow.... that’s one huge elephant!
No no no! Ellie was simply directing traffic. He could have "charged" a fine by tipping a vehicle over but he just ambled away :)
He is Huge!
That was less of a charge and more of a "I wonder how far I can make them back up". She's fucking with them, LOL.
Looks like a male to me.
I have no idea how this can possibly be described as "charging."
Gary: Trust me for this
I call it " charging." That is my birth right. What are you going to do with it?
@@terefefeyssa877 Why should I "trust" you"? I don't even know you. However, you are correct, it is your "birth right" to be wrong and stupid.
That was the slowest elephant charge I've ever seen
hello my good sweet Queen please how are you today Saturday hello fine woman please can my best your friend a mummy
Elephant the greatest.
Beautifull Elephant. Thak you for sharing this video.
I love nature
Almost as if he’s saying ‘you want some of this? Well....do you feel lucky, punk? Well? do you?’
Lol 😂
You all know that he's the real King of the Jungle, right?
Amen.
Nope Lion!
elephant: this is MY road.
Not charging, but you forget how Hugh some of these are, very lucky for the tourists that it didn't charge, would have been some serious injuries, they are so strong and beautiful
Most definitely not a charge... I was charged by an elephant in Botswana when I cycled past it on the road from Kazangula to Nata, theres a lot of noise and elephants run at incredible speed!
so you outran an elephant on a bicycle?
Speed?
My favourite road, but not on a bike!
You clearly have never seen an elephant charge. Click bait.
The elephant was lifting the bus up. The cars where a distraction.. good move
😂😂😂😂

Do you think you know better than that experienced driver

This big one is just walking the road. More like amusing himself with everyone backing up.
El está en su havitat natural en su hermosa libertad 🐘❤️. Los de autobús y carros son los visitantes 🤷🤷🤷🤷

fella in nissan has some skills
Very intelligent driver soo brave......👍👍👍👍👍
Yes ear flapping is there way of saying get out of here backing away good idea glad no one was hurt😊
I think he was just walking...not charging...no ear flapping or tossing back and forth!
The bus has a deep low throb to the engine. Elephant hears that well.
He is not charging the bus. He is investigating!
Interesting to see the size of the bus vs elephant!
Well! There was nothing else to do, so I thought I would take charge of Traffic!
hi elephant, i love you sweet heart gentle one
More like walking towards the bus rather than charging it.
"That elephant ate my entire platoon." -Skinner
That elephant was not in an aggressive mood at all he was curious. If everyone had stayed still the elephant would have done nothing.
The elephant didn't do anything but walk slowly down his ROAD.

Who is watching in 2020?
is that what they call a 'slow charge". people backing up and gettin' out, smart move, just in case.
note Elephant walking down road. Path of least resistance. the elephants use the roads to cover distances between waterholes. If the vehicles stayed put the elephant bull would simply walk around them and carry on down the road.
Elephant: "hey!! Where are you going? I just want a ride, I got a ticket!"
Look up giant bull elephant and you will see the largest bull in Etosha Park...that magnificent bull is gigantic!
Gigantic but CUTE - = giant pet
Go jumbo go !!! Cars bus all !!
LOL that wasn't a charge. That was a leisurely "Let's see how far I can make the cars move if I keep walking toward them" game.
He was politely showing the m the door.
IN SOVIET AFRICA, ELEPHANTS CHATCH YOU!
You should be grateful it didn't charge. If i felt as surrounded as you guys had him I would've charged.
He makes that bus look like a minivan
V nice
The elephant is not attacking ,it's just curious it want to inspect the strange creature ( the green bus) and smell it.Before the elephant attack it warn,and it's not warning here.
...human kind is indeed an intriguing animal...
Pfft . . that elephant wasn't charging that bus - he was trying to get through the traffic jam - I count at least 7 vehicles. Notice how he stops when they do? But it does look like he's learned he can make cars back up. He should call for the baboons - now they can inflict some serious damage ripping bits off your vehicle.
If I popped the cash for a safari I'd be mad if I spent it in traffic jams like this one. Too many people. Not enough critters.
Awesome great 👍
The Elephant just wanted to see what was inside the bus.
I've experienced elephants doing this sort of thing with a bus I was on in Kruger. There, the elephant was a lone, large bull.

He's used to park visitors & just showing his dominance abilities. He's a giant but sweet 95% of the time.
I would've driven through the arrogant fecker
'Bet he's done this before' 😂😂😂
umm. Trunk and tail relaxed, no vocalization. Itttzanother "lets see if they'll back all the way to camp" video. Elephant humor. :))
For the respect of the animal and for the safety for the tourists, is it possible to have one way roads in these national parks so the animal don't need to be between cars arriving from two directions ?
Would make it difficult for a quick escape or scatter.

The elephant never charged the bus, so don’t lie, don’t appreciate it!!! Click bait, geez!!!!
The bus was full of poachers but elephant used an Uno reverse card
He made the bus look small
he is a handsome bull
ramprashad29 v
Nice
How was that a charge it was just curious aaawwww bless him
Well, on 2nd thought I'd get out of the way!!
It is we humans who irritate them ..rather watching them from far .. we go near , which they don't like
super
the elephant is herding the vehicles. that sound is the elephant laughing.
That thing is dangerous. It should definitely be eliminated, or at least contained in a controlled area. I'm talking about the bus, obviously. The elephant was fine.
LOL
You had me in the first half😂
He is huge, nice and well build. and undamaged... he is just walking away.. note that he surrounded by vehicles.. he isn't attacking any ....
Superb

I think he just needed to break a twenty.
