I would like to clarify what is happening in the elephant scene, as many commenters clearly didn't understand what happened. Two of our friends were still INSIDE the red tuktuk after it had been knocked to the ground when the elephant charged at us. That is why my friend was yelling and clapping at the elephant; it was an attempt to lure the elephant away from the red tuktuk so that our friends inside could escape unharmed. He wasn't "harassing" the elephant for fun or for views, as some people have suggested in the comments. Our mistake, as mentioned repeatedly in the video, was stopping so close to the elephant for photos.
You were unlucky that there were no large vehicles nearby at that time. Maybe a bus or a truck would have chased him away.. with their hone of course. But, sometimes elephants attack busses also if they get too close. Your friend did the best he could. Glad all are safe.
Everything you & your friends did from the time you spotted the elephant is totally moronic, therefore you deserve all the negative comments, just admit apologise or just keep silent.
You don't suddenly stop by the side of the road to take pictures of wild animals. You don't do that, if you really wanted to you could visit a national park.
Feel sorry for the locals. They had to deal with that because of your ignorance. Did you read the country’s travel advice before you went? Hope you got good photos. Lesson learned. Lucky to have been spared.
They stopped as the animal rolled one of the tuk tuk their friends came, and two of them were inside. Usually, when the animal gets excited and crosses the road even you may face the same situation. I've seen the same thing happen to some buses in Udawalawe road and Yala. I'm really glad all of them were safe😊❤
It should be said that you have done something inappropriate. That is why the elephant was tempted to attack. A distance should be maintained with wild animals.

Wild elephants are so dangerous. You cannot simply run with them. They are way faster than you think. As a Sri Lakan, I will advise you, never stop near a wild elephant for any reason.
@@benbrazyoutube You knew and but then you guys stopped? Utter stupidity😏 by doing such things you guys risking others lives too.. wilderness is not something to play with😤
@@benbrazyoutube Stop with the passive aggressive comments. You just put so many peoples lives, their kids lives and their cars in danger. Especially in a country that is going through a crisis it is not so cheap to get vehicles repaired at a reasonable cost. Its weird that you did not know earlier not to play around with wild elephants or any wild animals for that matter. I am sure there are wild animals in Canada. Doubt you or any other Canadians go around provoking bears to learn that you should not get too close to them. No respect for the country or nature. You did not show any remorse or even apologise in the video. All you said was you learnt your lesson. At least write an apology to the locals in the comments and pin it on the video.

I think there is a lot of anger around what has happened here and I agree with almost all of it. Can I add that it would be best to change the title of your video to "we caused the elephant to attack us" considering your group caused chaos, trauma, and hardship to everyone using the road at the time and in the future. Elephants have an excellent memory and will now attack any tourist, motorbike, and red and green tuks. And yes, if you were genuine, you would have taken the effort to find the owners of the bike and paid their dues. The elephants are wild and I don't know what made anyone of you think it would be ok to stop and go near an elephant just to take a photo. Specially when you notice no one else is doing so. I watched the whole video and know you have understood your mistake, but I think the frustrations are coming from the lack of actions taken after to remedy the damages you have caused as a result of your actions.
I have been looking at your trip and you had total disregard for the vehicle, rules, and nature. You don't care about the vehicle, stressing it more than you need to, disregarding rules, not even wearing a t-shirt as a driver, smoking in wildlife reservations, and now this .. .

I'm glad they are all ok and it was a hefty price to pay for a mistake. Really feel sad for the Sri Lankan couple who got their bike destroyed because they wanted to help the visitors. It will probably cost two years of their paycheck to buy a bike
Why the f did you get off the tuk-tuk when there's a wild elephant nearby? That was a super stupid thing to do. You're blessed to be alive. A lesson for all the tourists who think these roads are their little adventure.
You guys lucky. That wild elephant is not angry at all. for your information Not even an athlete can out run an Elephant. I know you wouldnt believe that. If that Elephant was real angry none of you would be alive. Be safe. Just follow what local do in those situations.
We hope sri lankans (or any south asians) would be treated same by the locals, if they stopped in mid of ghe the highways where wild animals are roaming, causing nonsense and agitating a wild elephant like that in any of the western countries..! Luckily you're in Sri lanka, hence people are still calm and helpful for get you guys out of trouble and possibly no complaints by any locals to land you in any legal troubles.. Anyways have a safe vacation for your rest of the stay in sri lanka and all the best with your vlogs..!
Holy crap, that was nuts-I'm so glad you guys are ok and made it out without any major injuries! But this needs to be said-it was incredibly stupid & irresponsible to stop there & provoke a wild elephant-you guys put yourselves & everyone else driving on that road in harms way including the animal-these are't pets & don't make this road into a circus, just let them be and drive along! Ps. I know you learned your lesson the hard way, this is more to the foreigners who watch this clip in the future-the locals had every right to be mad at you there but they still helped you out!
I am so sad that they are still in one piece. 😢 Elephant 🐘 should have given them the final lesson. Money greedy Westerners doing any dirty thing for extra views on UA-cam for additional income.
When you going to county you doesn't know, Take some advice from tourist information or get a guide. Don't think every country is the same. Be careful when you going through the jungle.
What a Chaos!! 😡 You made a mess! You should never step out of your vehicle. Never turn off the engine. Those animals aren’t pets to go near them. They are wild elephants who are very aggressive and dangerous. Now don’t reply with ‘ I have already mentioned in the end of the video that it was a mistake’. We are a nation with a proud history and culture. People here are very friendly and helpful but please don’t take it as an advantage and make a mess where ever you go. You can be tourists and you are very welcome to Sri Lanka but be responsible and respectful and follow the rules. These guys are like what the f*** we don’t no what happened’ and smoking weed in public like nothing happened If it was somewhere else in the world these guys can be punished legally.
Our mistake, as we acknowledged repeatedly in the video, was stopping too close to the elephant. Also, my friends were smoking tobacco. Why are you so obsessed with weed?
It's very obvious that we weren't "bothering the elephant for youtube views". Just some tourists who wanted some photos. Our mistake, as I acknowledged in the video, was stopping too close. Pay attention next time.
this is not okay. You were advised by locals to leave, but you further antagonised the animal. Understand your presence was antagonising the animal. I suggest you continue your "bumming" elsewhere. Not in a national park area. This is not a theme park. Your apology at the end was shallow, laughing excited "did you film it". Unbelievable.
I was merely acknowledging our mistake, and yet still you feel the need to repeat the same thing. We were concerned for our friends' safety and their whereabouts, not "further antagonizing the elephant".
@@benbrazyoutube this is my only comment, oh I see, you mean repeating what others have said, seems to be a consensus of opinion right? Yes, I can see you were concerned for your friends of course, terrifying. But did you call the police or call for any help whatsoever? Didn't seem so in the video.
At 11:15 you can see us both check our phones and both say "no service". And we had no service along that entire stretch of highway. And what would calling the police have done anyway? "Hey, uhhh... we don't know where our friends are... and there's an elephant on the highway..." You see, in extraordinary situations like this, adrenaline kicks in, rational thought goes out the window, and instinct takes over. You don't know any of us, but I assure you that nobody is themselves after the beginning of this encounter.
@Ben Brasnett You didn't HAVE to share the content. The only reason you are sharing it is because any comment posted, even negative ones, make a splash on the UA-cam algorithm. I'm glad you realise what you did was utterly stupid. Because it WAS utterly incomprehensibly stupid. If a grizzly bear was wallking by the side of the road, would you stop so close trying to get pictures of it? I doubt it. The very same rule applies to wild elephants. You also don't seem to realise the repercussions of what you've done... the fact that you agitated and made this elephant angry means they take that attitude with them to any village or other person they come across in that moment. Once it left you lot alone, it'll take that annoyance to the nearest village, which puts the people in the village in danger. 10 seconds worth of a Google search would've informed you about the wild elephant population in Sri Lanka, and that would be you doing due diligence. You're not a child... you're a grown man. So this isn't just a mistake, it's purposeful avoidance of rules in another country for clickbait views. For a person who travels and has been a self-proclaimed nomad for 10years, it seems you've learned the square root of f**k-all in your travels. You and your ilk don't seem to read government association warnings on wildlife, won't take a guide who could give you a better idea of the country and the culture, think that budget travel means you can do whatever the hell you want to create "experiences" (your words), completely disregarding what those experiences means for the people of the vicinity in the country. You just behave like a bunch of c*nts, the poorest representatives of your country of origin, dripping with entitled white privilege. Your kind might as well stay at home. There's mention this happened a few months ago and @Ben Brasnett is no longer in Sri Lanka? Well... Good riddance!
Well i guess Ben has nothing to do with his friend's behavior... he wasn't riding the tuk tuk ad he was repeatedly saying lets go i guess we are too close. But honestly i believe you were shocked, but your friends were not so shocked and tbh you guys shoudl have looked on the couple who left their bike there. They literally got down to help you guys... Overall, Yes you guys caused this.
Sri lankan government too have provided with banners from 500m to 500m not to give food and not to get out of ur vehicles to take photos but the crazy tourists do it putting there lifes in danger
U put a whole country’s tourism at risk. Rolling ganja (illegal in SL) and playing with wild animals and acting like hooliganism is not required right now for this country
It was rolling tobacco, not ganja. And we weren't playing with wild animals... we stopped too close for photos, which was a mistake, as we've acknowledged repeatedly.
As a Sri Lankan I’m happy that you guys are unharmed. Having said that this just pure stupidity! You think this will promote Sri Lankan tourism??? Imagine how it will look like if anything happened to you guys?? On top of that by angering these wild creatures you are putting the lives of locals who use that road on a daily basis in danger. Just be more respectful towards the real owners of these forests. We don’t like anyone invading our privacy yeah?
You don’t muck around with elephants in Sri Lanka like that. If you want to see any go to the sanctuary as they are tamed breeds. These wild ones can attack you with no warning.
Shows how little you know about elephants in Sri Lanka , most captive elephants are rejected from the jungle and that's how they find there way to a sanctuary they won't survive one day in the jungle some are actually rehabilitated and put back to the jungle if they are young enough and some captive elephants were domesticated like 2000 years back (records are there even 6000 BC Indians domesticated ) and there calf's also don't survive or adapt back in the jungle , so a country like India Sri Lanka will always have captive elephants due to above reasons how much ever animal rights people shout because they are so far away from the truth , keeping elephants chained up or abuse is always wrong but having a negative Idea on domesticated or captive elephants just shows you lack of knowledge about the situation
Only 150 of this domesticated elephants are in captivity and out of there only two females are in the conditions or healthy enough to give birth so people who are shouting can be happy when that bloodline of domesticated elephants end in few generations , all other captive elepahnts who end up in santuaries were rejected from the jungle or their heards left to die before human intervention,they live free to roam life inside santuaries, small ones they try to rehabilitate with other small rejected ones and releases back to the jungle , some join other heards some get rejected and some released elepahnts form Thier own heards and survive , you only tiny bit about elephants and how much people love elephants and treat them well even though they end up been captive elepahnts for unavoidable reason
We would be arrested if we go to your country and disrespect wildlife the way you have. They are wild animals and you should stay far away from them . Putting so many others at risk as well as wildlife. You say it’s not for video views yet here it is
Such ignorant tourists who risk not only their lives, other locals' lives, their properties must not be welcomed to Sri Lanka. Rather than admitting a mistake the best thing is do some research where you in unknown settings. It is also common sense that any wild animal cannot be considered as innocent and dearly
Some people are so ignorant! Elephants might look nice and gentle BUT as you found out you could have died. For goodness sake respect all animals and humans. You are in Sri Lanka, enjoy the beauty and don't disrespect it. You are unbelievable, not the elephant.
By looking at this video you can understand how ignorant these guys are like many other tourists that get upset after seeing elephants in chains and think locals intentionally making elephants suffer but don't have any clue that chains are for their own safety and people around.
Clickbait title with a few seconds of an explainer at the end does not make it okay. Your first mistake was parking too close. The second was choosing to uploading this. Own up to it. Are these the kind of life experiences and adventure thrills you're trying to seek as part of your worldly travels? Pass, please.
By uploading it, others can see what happens and learn from our mistake. We obviously weren't seeking this type of adventure thrill, but it happened and we can't change that now.
I hope you guys learned a lesson. There are more vehicles passing by even after the incident but the elephant is chasing only you. Think! 🧠🤌 Always welcome to Sri Lanka and enjoy the rest of your trip 🙏🏻
even local people don't go on this road, especially after dark.. You should've go behind a bus or a big lorry. So if an elephant try to attack your vehicle, the big vehicle will cover you and let you get pass the elephant
All is well that ends well. So fortunate he didn’t trample the Tuk Tuk with people inside like he did the bike. (Not so) fun fact, around 150 people died in 2022 alone in Sri Lanka from elephant attacks. Glad you shared the video. You certainly got a wild story to tell your grandkids.
I think they never read an article of the loss of habitat for the wilde animals and the bad treatment elephants who are trained to work get, like in Thailand. Pakistan has 2 elephants that died from Sri Lanka, and now SL is going to gift Pakistan again two elephants. Another old Thai elephant got repatriated from Sri Lanka. And then you have fools like these here looking for a scope at the cost of it.
That's a very well experience even though its so scary. But, if I see this in a distance you can recall and remember this incident for the rest of your life. The animal freaks out due to excitement and he is not that wild at all. Anyway most commented above without even knowing what's went on and they stopped their tuk as the animal rolled over the tuk which their friends came.
Fools are still waiting and laughing after saving their lives. they probably don't know how dangerous what they did. Sri Lanka stickly inform tourist not to stop if they seea elephant. Specially if you are riding a bike or tuk tuk
Do you know now that elephant can identify all of you anywhere where you stay because of memory of your smell so be careful on the way you back and when you stay at hotel also.. thank God still alive all of you..
Yeah i hear their memory is incredible! I actually mentioned that in a part of the video that I edited out. Don't worry, we are already long gone from this region. No more elephant encounters.
Recommended method to run with a elephant is ZIG ZAG method. But I think it is a concept of a fool. Elephants are very dangerous and Intelligent. If he really needs to attack you, he will enter the bush and will appear from your back side while you are expecting the elephant from road. We already heard this type of stories.
If you want to see elephants please visit the natural elephant sanctuaries in Sri Lanka. It is very dangerous when people stop by the road to see elephants, especially single elephants. Elephants are not really aggressive when in a herd, but individual elephants are aggressive. So, never stop to see a single elephant unless the correct distance is maintained.
Yeah we know, and I mentioned in the video that it was a mistake to stop so close. I don't go to sanctuaries or do tours because I'm a budget traveler.
@@warsil3735 If you watched the video, it's very clear that we only wanted photos of the elephant. Our mistake, as I mentioned multiple times in the video, was stopping too close. After the elephant charged at us and knocked over the first tuktuk with our friends still inside, my buddy was clapping and yelling to lure the elephant away so that our friends wouldn't get hurt or killed. We mention this several times in the video, but you probably only watched 20 seconds.
@@benbrazyoutube that does not appear to be your friend went away close to the elephant and clapped the tuk tuk was behind you. .you stopped and went back to create a dramatic scene and the tuk tuk was far behind you went close to the elephant and then called the elephant and irritated the elephant to chase you then you and your smart ass pal ran laughing thinking that you got a nice clip and then the elephant came after you and saw the tuk tuk and toppled it..
These tourists takes the wild elephants as a joke and they used to stop there vehicles to watch them and film them due to this most of unnecessarily the lifes are in Danger
You're lucky because It didn't damage your tuk tuk much . Another thing is that he is not angry if became a really angry you can't run with him bro . People die on Sri Lanka day to day because they are attacked by elephants .
Yeah we met people soon after this who shared stories of people they know being killed by elephants. We were definitely lucky with the little damage to the tuktuks.
For our fun?? Ohh I see... you didn't understand what was happening. We stopped too close for a photo. Then the elephant charged at us and overturned the first (red) tuktuk with two of our friends still inside. When my rasta friend was yelling and clapping at the elephant, he was trying to save our friends inside that first tuktuk.
@@benbrazyoutube I'm sure you know not to approach a wild elephant and even so to maintain a distance. You know its not right do this, even getting down from vehicle. Don't tell me you thought elephant is going to greet you and talk to you like in Disney movies
You guys were lucky to get away unharmed. Let this be a lesson for anyone who is delusional about wild animals. They're called WILD ANIMALS for a reason. Don't get too close! Anyway, good fun and do come back! 🙂
You started to play wild elephant and ultimately tuk tuk damaged by elephant. You have actually survived from elephant. Unless you would have kicked by elephant
Tuktuk must be a word invented by tourists. When I traveled to SL several times in the '80s and '90s, they were called trishaws or three-wheelers. No one ha heard of a tuktuk.
Wow the elephant is so mean it attacked the poor tourist who got to close to him knowing its a wild animal it should have waged his tail and show you tricks what a Karen
I am so glad non of you guys were hurt. Lol don't stop close to wild elephants. They probably haven't seen many humans before and they think you're a threat, so they WILL charge at you.
When it is an experience for you guys I feel bad for that couple who lost their motorcycle. Most people in here make just 80$ to 150$ per month so they cannot afford another motorcycle for a longtime for sure. Tell braca not to do crazy things next time. Those guys were blaming at you saying that they have children to protect
Sorry it's not a natural elephant attack. There are road signs which warn not to stop and feed elephants (in other words, don't stop driving too). Also these are wild elephants they don't understand human signals and if they feel threatened they will attack and they can run fast (however they a gentle giants too and harmless if we respect them). However in my whole life in Sri lanka I know many people who drive past these roads at night too and the elephants don't damage any vehicles. In this video I see the Tuktuk is parked. Its best to record video while moving and don't stop, don't touch and don't feed. Overalls a kind reminder to all...please watch and enjoy these wonderful wild animals from a distance.
Thank you for the good advice @Dfrontier IT. Yes we have learned this the hard way. It's unfortunate that we made this mistake, but hopefully others will learn from it. Cheers and thank you for watching.
It is a wild elephant . You should not have get so close to the animal to take photos . If you leave him alone it would not have attacked. If you want to take photo with elephant you should try with tamed elephant . Wild elephants are quite dangerous . Never try to reach so close to them in the wild. Never try to play tricks with them. If you leave him alone it may not attack .
The law should be strictly enforced against such activities. The relevant authorities should act immediately. Here, the human elephant's privacy and freedom are respected. Due to such behavior of the local people and a minority of foreigners, the population of people living near the forest is at risk. It is one of the major problem in Srilankan rural areas.
You guys are really really mad...Don't getdown from your vehicles when you are watching elephants...Specialy when wild elephants are on road, don't mess with them. Just watch & move quickly...Even we, locals also don't mess with these wild elephants who walk on roads. Nice to see your guys alive...Anyway, be carefull...Thankyou for visiting my country...Pls come again & again & again. But remeber...Don't mess with wild elephants...❤❤❤
Where are the animal activists who talk on behalf of the animals? Creating utter havoc due to the ignorance of silly tourists. Ultimately locals will suffer. I feel sorry for the man who got his bike damaged. We know how hard they have to work even to own a bike. They stopped to help the tourists.

We already mentioned in the video that it was a mistake to stop so close to the elephant, but I guess you weren't paying attention to that part?
Simple. To get more followers. How ignorant.
You have audacity to tease the poor animal
@@benbrazyoutube Sorry, it wasn't a mistake you m_r_n!
Another level of stupid. Not Just once but repeatedly.
These are wild elephants. Give them the respect they deserve . Be grateful you guys are ok.
Yahh....did you see that what they are doing....last seconds of the video....
As an atonement for your stupidity, please find the biker guy and pay for his damages. Almost lost their lives and their bike because if this chaos.
Disgusting behavior!!! These kind of people should get arrested and charged
This elephant is chasing only after you, which means something has gone wrong somewhere. Best thing is to stay away from the elephants!
You guys lucky. That wild elephant is not angry at all. for your information Not even an athlete can out run an Elephant. I know you wouldnt believe that. If that Elephant was real angry none of you would be alive.
Be safe. Just follow what local do in those situations.
We hope sri lankans (or any south asians) would be treated same by the locals, if they stopped in mid of ghe the highways where wild animals are roaming, causing nonsense and agitating a wild elephant like that in any of the western countries..! Luckily you're in Sri lanka, hence people are still calm and helpful for get you guys out of trouble and possibly no complaints by any locals to land you in any legal troubles..
Anyways have a safe vacation for your rest of the stay in sri lanka and all the best with your vlogs..!
Its a wild animal
What you expecting from it
A hug??
🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Kiss 😂😂
Holy crap, that was nuts-I'm so glad you guys are ok and made it out without any major injuries!
But this needs to be said-it was incredibly stupid & irresponsible to stop there & provoke a wild elephant-you guys put yourselves & everyone else driving on that road in harms way including the animal-these are't pets & don't make this road into a circus, just let them be and drive along!
Ps. I know you learned your lesson the hard way, this is more to the foreigners who watch this clip in the future-the locals had every right to be mad at you there but they still helped you out!
@Ben Brasnett Pin this for others!
I am so sad that they are still in one piece. 😢
Elephant 🐘 should have given them the final lesson.
Money greedy Westerners doing any dirty thing for extra views on UA-cam for additional income.
You guys, especially the guy in the orange shorts, get an F on your tourist report card.
When you going to county you doesn't know, Take some advice from tourist information or get a guide.
Don't think every country is the same.
Be careful when you going through the jungle.
This was a major highway we were driving along. I will never take a guide, I like to travel on my own.
@@benbrazyoutube it isnt a highway ... Even google maps doesnt recommend the road !!!
@@benbrazyoutube That is the arrogance...even locals take guides in national parks! You know it all don’t you?
While traveling use your brain if not because of you guys others are suffering…keep it mind not to happen again ,.enjoy srilanka ❤
What a Chaos!! 😡
You made a mess! You should never step out of your vehicle. Never turn off the engine. Those animals aren’t pets to go near them. They are wild elephants who are very aggressive and dangerous. Now don’t reply with ‘ I have already mentioned in the end of the video that it was a mistake’.
We are a nation with a proud history and culture. People here are very friendly and helpful but please don’t take it as an advantage and make a mess where ever you go. You can be tourists and you are very welcome to Sri Lanka but be responsible and respectful and follow the rules.
These guys are like what the f*** we don’t no what happened’ and smoking weed in public like nothing happened
If it was somewhere else in the world these guys can be punished legally.
Our mistake, as we acknowledged repeatedly in the video, was stopping too close to the elephant.
Also, my friends were smoking tobacco. Why are you so obsessed with weed?
@@benbrazyoutube they were smoking in a wildlife conservation area where alcohol and cigarettes are totally prohibited 🚫.
@@azmil1428 it was on a major highway...
Disgusting behavior. Do not bother wild elephants and make them angry for you tube views. one of the most unprofessional tourist i ever seen.
It's very obvious that we weren't "bothering the elephant for youtube views". Just some tourists who wanted some photos. Our mistake, as I acknowledged in the video, was stopping too close. Pay attention next time.
@@benbrazyoutube Ok be safe next time. i have seen so many deaths cause by elephants in sri lanka. Again enjoy but be safe.
Well said
Can we do this kind of behavior in their countries
This was the first time I saw "Some wild tourist". No decency at all.
this is not okay.
You were advised by locals to leave, but you further antagonised the animal. Understand your presence was antagonising the animal. I suggest you continue your "bumming" elsewhere. Not in a national park area. This is not a theme park. Your apology at the end was shallow, laughing excited "did you film it". Unbelievable.
I was merely acknowledging our mistake, and yet still you feel the need to repeat the same thing. We were concerned for our friends' safety and their whereabouts, not "further antagonizing the elephant".
@@benbrazyoutube this is my only comment, oh I see, you mean repeating what others have said, seems to be a consensus of opinion right? Yes, I can see you were concerned for your friends of course, terrifying. But did you call the police or call for any help whatsoever? Didn't seem so in the video.
At 11:15 you can see us both check our phones and both say "no service". And we had no service along that entire stretch of highway. And what would calling the police have done anyway? "Hey, uhhh... we don't know where our friends are... and there's an elephant on the highway..." You see, in extraordinary situations like this, adrenaline kicks in, rational thought goes out the window, and instinct takes over. You don't know any of us, but I assure you that nobody is themselves after the beginning of this encounter.
@Ben Brasnett You didn't HAVE to share the content. The only reason you are sharing it is because any comment posted, even negative ones, make a splash on the UA-cam algorithm. I'm glad you realise what you did was utterly stupid. Because it WAS utterly incomprehensibly stupid. If a grizzly bear was wallking by the side of the road, would you stop so close trying to get pictures of it? I doubt it. The very same rule applies to wild elephants.
You also don't seem to realise the repercussions of what you've done... the fact that you agitated and made this elephant angry means they take that attitude with them to any village or other person they come across in that moment. Once it left you lot alone, it'll take that annoyance to the nearest village, which puts the people in the village in danger.
10 seconds worth of a Google search would've informed you about the wild elephant population in Sri Lanka, and that would be you doing due diligence. You're not a child... you're a grown man. So this isn't just a mistake, it's purposeful avoidance of rules in another country for clickbait views.
For a person who travels and has been a self-proclaimed nomad for 10years, it seems you've learned the square root of f**k-all in your travels. You and your ilk don't seem to read government association warnings on wildlife, won't take a guide who could give you a better idea of the country and the culture, think that budget travel means you can do whatever the hell you want to create "experiences" (your words), completely disregarding what those experiences means for the people of the vicinity in the country. You just behave like a bunch of c*nts, the poorest representatives of your country of origin, dripping with entitled white privilege. Your kind might as well stay at home.
There's mention this happened a few months ago and @Ben Brasnett is no longer in Sri Lanka? Well... Good riddance!
Well i guess Ben has nothing to do with his friend's behavior... he wasn't riding the tuk tuk ad he was repeatedly saying lets go i guess we are too close.
But honestly i believe you were shocked, but your friends were not so shocked and tbh you guys shoudl have looked on the couple who left their bike there. They literally got down to help you guys...
Overall, Yes you guys caused this.
Sri lankan government too have provided with banners from 500m to 500m not to give food and not to get out of ur vehicles to take photos but the crazy tourists do it putting there lifes in danger
U put a whole country’s tourism at risk. Rolling ganja (illegal in SL) and playing with wild animals and acting like hooliganism is not required right now for this country
It was rolling tobacco, not ganja. And we weren't playing with wild animals... we stopped too close for photos, which was a mistake, as we've acknowledged repeatedly.
That's not ganja its rolling tobacco but yes he cannot smoke in a wildlife conservation area.
Love wild animals and don't disturb them or you will experience dire consequences😮
As a Sri Lankan I’m happy that you guys are unharmed.
Having said that this just pure stupidity! You think this will promote Sri Lankan tourism??? Imagine how it will look like if anything happened to you guys??
On top of that by angering these wild creatures you are putting the lives of locals who use that road on a daily basis in danger.
Just be more respectful towards the real owners of these forests. We don’t like anyone invading our privacy yeah?
You don’t muck around with elephants in Sri Lanka like that. If you want to see any go to the sanctuary as they are tamed breeds. These wild ones can attack you with no warning.
You're encouraging people to see the elephants that live in captivity? That's disgusting.
Shows how little you know about elephants in Sri Lanka , most captive elephants are rejected from the jungle and that's how they find there way to a sanctuary they won't survive one day in the jungle some are actually rehabilitated and put back to the jungle if they are young enough and some captive elephants were domesticated like 2000 years back (records are there even 6000 BC Indians domesticated ) and there calf's also don't survive or adapt back in the jungle , so a country like India Sri Lanka will always have captive elephants due to above reasons how much ever animal rights people shout because they are so far away from the truth , keeping elephants chained up or abuse is always wrong but having a negative Idea on domesticated or captive elephants just shows you lack of knowledge about the situation
Only 150 of this domesticated elephants are in captivity and out of there only two females are in the conditions or healthy enough to give birth so people who are shouting can be happy when that bloodline of domesticated elephants end in few generations , all other captive elepahnts who end up in santuaries were rejected from the jungle or their heards left to die before human intervention,they live free to roam life inside santuaries, small ones they try to rehabilitate with other small rejected ones and releases back to the jungle , some join other heards some get rejected and some released elepahnts form Thier own heards and survive , you only tiny bit about elephants and how much people love elephants and treat them well even though they end up been captive elepahnts for unavoidable reason
So many violations in one video. Tourists are welcome to sri lanka. But not these kind of toxic idiotic tourists. 😠
We would be arrested if we go to your country and disrespect wildlife the way you have. They are wild animals and you should stay far away from them . Putting so many others at risk as well as wildlife. You say it’s not for video views yet here it is
Such ignorant tourists who risk not only their lives, other locals' lives, their properties must not be welcomed to Sri Lanka. Rather than admitting a mistake the best thing is do some research where you in unknown settings. It is also common sense that any wild animal cannot be considered as innocent and dearly
Some people are so ignorant! Elephants might look nice and gentle BUT as you found out you could have died. For goodness sake respect all animals and humans. You are in Sri Lanka, enjoy the beauty and don't disrespect it.
You are unbelievable, not the elephant.
By looking at this video you can understand how ignorant these guys are like many other tourists that get upset after seeing elephants in chains and think locals intentionally making elephants suffer but don't have any clue that chains are for their own safety and people around.
For their own safety they get beaten and their feet are festering wounds from the chains?
Bro that.. tuk tuk guys who came behind they're soooo lucky and glad to see they're looking good...🙌
Clickbait title with a few seconds of an explainer at the end does not make it okay. Your first mistake was parking too close. The second was choosing to uploading this. Own up to it. Are these the kind of life experiences and adventure thrills you're trying to seek as part of your worldly travels? Pass, please.
By uploading it, others can see what happens and learn from our mistake. We obviously weren't seeking this type of adventure thrill, but it happened and we can't change that now.
I hope you guys learned a lesson. There are more vehicles passing by even after the incident but the elephant is chasing only you. Think! 🧠🤌
Always welcome to Sri Lanka and enjoy the rest of your trip 🙏🏻
Disturbing wild animals should not be tolerated.
even local people don't go on this road, especially after dark.. You should've go behind a bus or a big lorry. So if an elephant try to attack your vehicle, the big vehicle will cover you and let you get pass the elephant
Ah yeah there's an idea!
All is well that ends well. So fortunate he didn’t trample the Tuk Tuk with people inside like he did the bike. (Not so) fun fact, around 150 people died in 2022 alone in Sri Lanka from elephant attacks. Glad you shared the video. You certainly got a wild story to tell your grandkids.
Did you miss what’s written within brackets?
I think they never read an article of the loss of habitat for the wilde animals and the bad treatment elephants who are trained to work get, like in Thailand. Pakistan has 2 elephants that died from Sri Lanka, and now SL is going to gift Pakistan again two elephants. Another old Thai elephant got repatriated from Sri Lanka. And then you have fools like these here looking for a scope at the cost of it.
This is utmost stupidity . Glad you survived and hopefully u learnt your lessons.
That's a very well experience even though its so scary. But, if I see this in a distance you can recall and remember this incident for the rest of your life. The animal freaks out due to excitement and he is not that wild at all.
Anyway most commented above without even knowing what's went on and they stopped their tuk as the animal rolled over the tuk which their friends came.
Hello are you still in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰?
The coward ran so far abandoning his “friends”, he needed a tuktuk to come back 😂😂😂
Yeah we probably should have stayed to fight the elephant...😂😂😂🤪🤪🤪🤣🤣🤣
@@benbrazyoutube you “friends” were there right inside the TukTuk. No balls and no true friendship.
@@lucmorigo8443 lmaooooooooo we should have stood there and let the elephant kill us i guess? That's true friendship 😂🤦♂️
Good lord mate! I am so glad none of you got hurt! Never ever play with those big guys, they get pretty mad.
An elphant can challenge a rhino...
Fools are still waiting and laughing after saving their lives. they probably don't know how dangerous what they did.
Sri Lanka stickly inform tourist not to stop if they seea elephant. Specially if you are riding a bike or tuk tuk
These Elephants are wild and obviously untamed, thses toursits must be banned entering to the wilderness areas like this without proper guidence.
Lol this was a major highway we were driving along.
In sri lanka we have too many elephants. Dont play with them
Srilanka wild elephants so dangerous . Be careful .
Yes sir, no more elephant encounters since then.
Do you know now that elephant can identify all of you anywhere where you stay because of memory of your smell so be careful on the way you back and when you stay at hotel also.. thank God still alive all of you..
Yeah i hear their memory is incredible! I actually mentioned that in a part of the video that I edited out. Don't worry, we are already long gone from this region. No more elephant encounters.
I remember you guys even if you come after 10 years.
Thanks!
Your this video was broadcasted on a Srilankan TV channel. Lot of people have criticised the behaviour of you and your friends towards that elephant.
Talk about intense. Safe to say lesson learnt there! Glad you all made it out safe.
Thanks Biz! Yeah it'll be impossible to recreate that experience eh
@@benbrazyoutube Ubelievable eh ad nauseum...so depsite saying you made a mistake you think of recreating this experience?
nope
Thank you no words to telling again Sri Lankan boy your very helpfull and safe the tourist boys
Yes we really appreciated that nice man's help
government needs to put signs in that road
Recommended method to run with a elephant is ZIG ZAG method. But I think it is a concept of a fool. Elephants are very dangerous and Intelligent. If he really needs to attack you, he will enter the bush and will appear from your back side while you are expecting the elephant from road. We already heard this type of stories.
If you want to see elephants please visit the natural elephant sanctuaries in Sri Lanka. It is very dangerous when people stop by the road to see elephants, especially single elephants. Elephants are not really aggressive when in a herd, but individual elephants are aggressive. So, never stop to see a single elephant unless the correct distance is maintained.
Yeah we know, and I mentioned in the video that it was a mistake to stop so close. I don't go to sanctuaries or do tours because I'm a budget traveler.
These guys wanted to shootn adventure movie so purposely irritated the animal
@@warsil3735 If you watched the video, it's very clear that we only wanted photos of the elephant. Our mistake, as I mentioned multiple times in the video, was stopping too close. After the elephant charged at us and knocked over the first tuktuk with our friends still inside, my buddy was clapping and yelling to lure the elephant away so that our friends wouldn't get hurt or killed. We mention this several times in the video, but you probably only watched 20 seconds.
@@benbrazyoutube that does not appear to be your friend went away close to the elephant and clapped the tuk tuk was behind you. .you stopped and went back to create a dramatic scene and the tuk tuk was far behind you went close to the elephant and then called the elephant and irritated the elephant to chase you then you and your smart ass pal ran laughing thinking that you got a nice clip and then the elephant came after you and saw the tuk tuk and toppled it..
They want the clip was irresponsible reckless and in legal terms endangered the lives of other road uses and their property
These tourists takes the wild elephants as a joke and they used to stop there vehicles to watch them and film them due to this most of unnecessarily the lifes are in Danger
Elephants attack to obtain food from these vehicles. Simply throw the food and quickly leave the area 😢
That's good advice, thank you Ringo Parrot 🦜
Wrong advice we aren't suppose to feed the wildlife.
You're lucky because It didn't damage your tuk tuk much .
Another thing is that he is not angry if became a really angry you can't run with him bro .
People die on Sri Lanka day to day because they are attacked by elephants .
Yeah we met people soon after this who shared stories of people they know being killed by elephants. We were definitely lucky with the little damage to the tuktuks.
They authorities should arrest you guys for doing this … totally causing this for your fun and dangerous acts..
For our fun?? Ohh I see... you didn't understand what was happening. We stopped too close for a photo. Then the elephant charged at us and overturned the first (red) tuktuk with two of our friends still inside. When my rasta friend was yelling and clapping at the elephant, he was trying to save our friends inside that first tuktuk.
@@benbrazyoutube I'm sure you know not to approach a wild elephant and even so to maintain a distance. You know its not right do this, even getting down from vehicle.
Don't tell me you thought elephant is going to greet you and talk to you like in Disney movies
You guys were lucky to get away unharmed. Let this be a lesson for anyone who is delusional about wild animals. They're called WILD ANIMALS for a reason. Don't get too close! Anyway, good fun and do come back! 🙂
You started to play wild elephant and ultimately tuk tuk damaged by elephant. You have actually survived from elephant. Unless you would have kicked by elephant
you fools. please somebody arrest these fools immediately.
Tuktuk must be a word invented by tourists. When I traveled to SL several times in the '80s and '90s, they were called trishaws or three-wheelers. No one ha heard of a tuktuk.
Wow the elephant is so mean it attacked the poor tourist who got to close to him knowing its a wild animal it should have waged his tail and show you tricks what a Karen
These idiots must be arrested and banned from entering the country forever. That couple almost lost their motorcycle because of these men.
Arrested and banned for stopping for a photo? You run a tight ship 😅
@@benbrazyoutubeif this crap you are telling is true, why did you deactivate your Instagram account? Only idiot tourists do such actions.
@@benbrazyoutube You are too stupid and arrogant to accept your own mistake. Good luck
I am so glad non of you guys were hurt. Lol don't stop close to wild elephants. They probably haven't seen many humans before and they think you're a threat, so they WILL charge at you.
Why the hell would anyone go and a harass a wild elephant! What idiots would do for views 👏👏👏
I hope you got better experience no to disturb wild animals anymore .......
Jungle belongs to our elephants
It sure does! I wonder why they built a highway through it then...
@@benbrazyoutube
Not to stop like you did.
But for supply transport facilities for the local people living in rural villages ...
Good lesson for the people concern security of the country.
These tourists should be deported immediately
Never get out of the vehicle when there's a wild animal nearby.
Really?
As a Sri Lakan, I will advise you, never stop near a wild elephant for any reason.
Yeah we know now
Where ? Yala or near vilpattu?
This was on the highway between Polonnaruwa and Sigiriya, near Angammedilla National Park
When it is an experience for you guys I feel bad for that couple who lost their motorcycle. Most people in here make just 80$ to 150$ per month so they cannot afford another motorcycle for a longtime for sure. Tell braca not to do crazy things next time. Those guys were blaming at you saying that they have children to protect
You had someone’s motorcycle ruined and did not try to help him
this kind of tourist no need ..Crazy tourist 😫😫😫
Elephants can run faster than human. So never go closer to them, specialty wild elephants.
That elephant just warned. Not in real anger.
Sorry it's not a natural elephant attack. There are road signs which warn not to stop and feed elephants (in other words, don't stop driving too). Also these are wild elephants they don't understand human signals and if they feel threatened they will attack and they can run fast (however they a gentle giants too and harmless if we respect them). However in my whole life in Sri lanka I know many people who drive past these roads at night too and the elephants don't damage any vehicles.
In this video I see the Tuktuk is parked. Its best to record video while moving and don't stop, don't touch and don't feed.
Overalls a kind reminder to all...please watch and enjoy these wonderful wild animals from a distance.
Thank you for the good advice @Dfrontier IT. Yes we have learned this the hard way. It's unfortunate that we made this mistake, but hopefully others will learn from it. Cheers and thank you for watching.
@@benbrazyoutube Best wishes for a happy stay in Sri Lanka. Loads of love on behalf of humanity. Cheers.
It is a wild elephant . You should not have get so close to the animal to take photos . If you leave him alone it would not have attacked. If you want to take photo with elephant you should try with tamed elephant . Wild elephants are quite dangerous . Never try to reach so close to them in the wild. Never try to play tricks with them. If you leave him alone it may not attack .
Searching a 1dollar meal...😂
Yeah man, that's the going rate
The law should be strictly enforced against such activities. The relevant authorities should act immediately. Here, the human elephant's privacy and freedom are respected. Due to such behavior of the local people and a minority of foreigners, the population of people living near the forest is at risk. It is one of the major problem in Srilankan rural areas.
You guys are really really mad...Don't getdown from your vehicles when you are watching elephants...Specialy when wild elephants are on road, don't mess with them. Just watch & move quickly...Even we, locals also don't mess with these wild elephants who walk on roads. Nice to see your guys alive...Anyway, be carefull...Thankyou for visiting my country...Pls come again & again & again. But remeber...Don't mess with wild elephants...❤❤❤
Guys! Dont mess with wild animals. It does not matter where you go Sri lanka or even africa. That was risky!
Never stop for an elephant, don’t you see what locals do?
Elephants don't like arrogant crooks.
I bet. Who's the arrogant crook?
Heading should be tourist attack elephant
These idiots needs to be arrested !!!!! When you visit a foreign country respect the laws. Respect the wild life as well.
Where are the animal activists who talk on behalf of the animals? Creating utter havoc due to the ignorance of silly tourists. Ultimately locals will suffer. I feel sorry for the man who got his bike damaged. We know how hard they have to work even to own a bike. They stopped to help the tourists.
