Close encounter with elephant in Serengeti
Вставка

- On my trip to the Serengeti, Tanzania we encountered a massive male elephant. He walked to the car and everybody in the car had to be absolutely silent. The ranger said that the elephant could not distinct people in a car, he just sees a car or big object. I had a 'Jurassic Parc' moment: the one with the angry dinosaur looking through the window...
Adults are some times harder to silent than children. The one's in this safari did really well when the guides told them to be quiet and still. Awesome!
The beautifully surreal part was when the elephant passed by. It was like a tree had walked by. I also loved the relieved chuckle at the end.
I think the Ranger/guides knew this bull well, and knew he was a easy going stable fellow. He was very calm. LUCKY FOR YOU ALL !! He looked to be 40 plus years old. My compliments that you kept your cool in the vehicle. 😱
snugbug they know the signs he’s displaying -
40plus old elephant have big tusk enough to touch the ground he is maybe 20+ year old
A nice calm elephant just greeting them by lifting his trunk😁
Yes, in many of these elephant encounters that you see here on UA-cam, the lifting of the trunk as they get near seems to be a kind of "hello" or the equivalent of the Italian "Ciao"!
How fantastic to have such a close encounter with a fabulous 🐘 how privileged you were he was magnificent
Not a privilege when it kills you
@@stritax9478 keep out of his way then they are trespassimg
What a magnificent creation,so majestic....I love these beautiful babies...just peacefully walk by..
Wow! That's an experience you'll never forget, and fantastic work handling the camera, beautiful....Thank you for sharing...
Reminds me of a scene in Jurassic Park... I love elephants but Im afraid I would have peed myself.
Exactly...I was about to comment this...
🐘 Elephant: "I mean you no harm...just going about my business. I need you to do the same! 😂😂😂
"Do we close the roof?'.. That should stop an elephant that size..
Lol
Ha!! That's exactly what I was thinking! Close the roof? What the heck for?
🤣
Stupid person.
My goodness! LOOK AT THAT TRUNK. Wow. Magnificent creature The Creator designed.
2dasimmons beautiful. I’m in awe daily.
Why does the Creator allow women to be raped to death and children to die of starvation as we speak?
@Kathryn Mellor But god says he will help those who are hurting, and yet women die of rape every day, and children die of starvation every day. God was not serious when he said he would help them?
@Kathryn Mellor ---Then how do you explain this?
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. ~Isaiah 45:7
Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it? ~Amos 3:6
@@MrsAp425 Personally I prefer to believe in the Hindu elephant god Ganesha.
It's like watching a living dinosaur 😄 wow
Five tons of calm and confidence.
what majestic animals!
You did a great job being quiet for him.
He was so beautiful and impressive!
The male showed no signs of aggression. He was walking calmly and was more curious than anything else. He did not perceive the vehicle as a threat the same as the first, you were basically invading his path
Steven Hulbert I’m a devout coward. I would have had a heart attack.
The most amazing animals on earth, imho.
ditto, but many animals are amazing eg, whales and porpoises .
I was expecting the dilating eye look into the window( jurassic park style)
And then the loud roar!!
Now THAT was CLOSE!!!

Omg , He’s Big !!!!!!
Its mesmerising watching it slowly walk towards the camera.
Lucky bastards!Thank your lucky stars that this huge majestic creature didn't have a bad day...He would've leveled that vehicle and everyone in it.... Respect the animal kingdom...🐘🐘🐘
Jiffy Jim - he wasn’t in mast
Christiane Montazer - Also known as 'Musth' - a condition that is almost impossible to not notice, so No Danger here.
WildlifeObsessed - must or musth is a periodic condition in bull elephants characterized by highly aggressive behavior and accompanied by a large rise in reproductive hormones. This elephant was NOT in must.😊🙏
Christiane Montazer b
Look the size of it beast
He's just strolling around being awesome.
I love them beyond words 💝
The elephant just said wasssup
just a big gorgeous Elephant taking his usual path you happened to be on...
The quiet gentle walk can never feel for these creatures presence!! Amazing. May God Almighty Jehovah bless them.❤️
such a stunning beautiful creature
'Just out for a Sunday stroll....bloody cars...get out of my way..oh, can't be bothered squishing anything, today..tum te tum te tum te tum...'😎
That slow motion ..amazing ..😍😍♥️
Beautiful majestic animals
And just think... that "massive" creature is a mere puppy compared to what used to roam the Earth.
THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE YOUR ENTERTAINMENT
They wasn't bothering that elephant! Lighten up, pal
Geez he is just beautiful. Want to see one in person and someday I will so help me.
This is why you listen to softer music and have peanut butter and a loaf of bread. Make it a THICK PB sandwhich and slowly pull away.
Reminds me of the Jurassic Park while he is going past the second vehicle.
The big guy's temporal glands were seeping. Study up on musth... at this time of year he is less predictable and volatile.
That guy knew exactly what he was looking at....
Is he strong enough to flip the jeep? 🐘💕 Love elephants. New sub from Florida. 🌴
Mimi Me he's more than capable of flipping the Jeep over
Just watch ' kerala elephant attacks' in UA-cam
you are safer in a vehicle with lions around than you are with an elephant around,
they can crush your vehicle with you inside it or they can flip it over and then stomp you with you inside the vehicle
that one looks about 5tonnes = 5000kg, that's about 63 men piled on top of you
That was frightening. He is so huge.
Dude, he could wrestle a big rig.
I wish the elephant would have let rip a huge tail lifting fart as they watched him walk away 😈
That's what he thinks about them🤣
Do elephants have 2 stomachs and eat digestion tampering anti-biotics with every meal. Cows do.
'wow a huge elephant ',.
Doesn't that car have a reverse gear? I would have been off down the track before the elephant had finished sniffing at the other vehicle!
SSSSHHHHH, listen to your guide. Don't panic lady
She asked more than once he's not mad is he,he was a big fellow.
What does the lifted trunk mean? Was the elephant sniffing for threats, greeting or what? I know a lifted trunk in elephant statues is good luck and a trunk over the horns denotes aggression. I seen one video where a group of men saved a baby elephant and when the group of elephants was getting ready to leave they all raised their trunks as in thanks. Can someone help me, please?
Screaming Tima - he can smell if foe or friend
Screaming Tima - Delighted to share my understandings.
Lifting the trunk is a sign that he wants to get a better idea of what you are. Their eye sight is appalling. But they have incredible hearing and sense of smell.
Almost certain, he had picked-up the vehicle's scent, mixed in with he was not sure what. Trunk hanging down is too oriented towards the earth. Lifted to your level and its targeted, focused and directed.
Trunk up, ears out and lots of noise is good, if darned scary. It's all filibuster and threat.
Ears out, head down, trunk curled under and a charge - not threatening any more. No joke. He is serious. This is real and outright attack is imminent.
Go on a Safari - you'd love it.
A herd with their trunks up is again, almost certainly, a sign of delight, excitement and that they are all talking to each other and friends in other herds, you may not even be aware of.
Their voices are at such a low pitch that most human ears cannot pick them up. Such that you might not hear anything.
I like how it walks directly on thr road
Good zoom lens.
Che splendida creatura 🥰🥰🥰🥰👑
Wow 😯 that was amazing!! 🐘🐘🐘
Elephant: I don't give a shitt
was für ein schönes video
Just checking for tourist snacks that an elephant might like.
Dear World,
If we fail to help, being nice and kind to other animals, we would never entitled to any either!
Ladies, you need to stay calm!
SSSSSHHHHH, it's a big bull
He looked sad, just walking the road by himself....
just wow amazing creature.
Wow! How cool!
Será que existe ainda?
Is that the worlds biggest living elephant?
Majestätisch göttliches Geschöpf wow😳👍😀
The only animal, like humans, that have knees and elbows.
Really? I never knew that. Wow. Just learned something. Thanks.
Sure about that?
wholeNwon
If you know otherwise then please elucidate and provide details.
@@geoffhalstead1811 How about all simians, for instance, as obvious examples?
Luck that the elephant was in a good mood. Should have taken your car from the path so he could walk on, like the first car did.
Pure Grace !!!!
doesnt matter if its male or female... its a wild animal
O big ass elephant coming my way. Lets turn the car off.
it reminded me about one scene in Jurassic Park movie lol...
Look like Jurassic Park as he went pass.
Unforgettable experience, I guess
Bull elephant 🐘 usually on own?? Females keep together to look after babies, matriarch? Is a mentor & guide?? Trunk very important to elephant 🐘 they put it over tusks to protect it,
He is magnificent he is Africa
Incredible. 😮😍😊
He’s probably wishing humans would leave him alone...
Or have snacks.
Yes, close the roof .
Did the driver have his brown coloured trousers on?
Big guy selling the show...
Ein sehr schönes Tier
Какой огромный слон! Махина! Но ведёт себя достойно!
One got 10 ft from me and I was shaking in my boots.
that size!? OMG
Why didnt you pull off to the side of the road?
Boy would I be mad at my safari guide. These elephants can flatten these vehicles and have often killed people this way. It's disrespectful to get this close to them.
FlipoutJo - the elephant would have smelled your fear and would’ve probably mock attacked this vehicle
just watching this guy not agressive but wary
He's not made, right? Aw, he's PISSED!!!!?
Just checking my who’s all coming to see me🐘
Magnificent
This is the biggest elephant I've ever seen! Question: Do male elephants have nipples? At 2:25 I'm pretty certain I saw one as he passed by the Jeep. I appreciated the silence in the vehicle as this majestic animal passed by. There are other videos showing elephant encounters with vehicles that didn't go as well. An elephant actually punctured a private passenger car with his tusk while flipping it over.
Anita Smith - human males have nipples, elephant bulls have nipples
I shit on my pants if this giant walk in my way :D
So if somebody was hurt it would have been their fault ; a thrills a thrill !
AWESOME!!
What makes them think it wont attack?
He wasn't in musth, but still too close for comfort lol.
Think you guys are just in its way. Trying to stay on the path lol.
Omg😨
That Elephant can see your ass in that car. Their not stupid either. So not sure why the Ranger tells you they can't....
In India they roam on public roads too.. v have 'very close encounters' regularly🤣
I believe that's a female. Flapping her ears does mean you're not wanted.
It's actually a bull elephant in the prime of his life. His body language suggests he is relaxed but cautious.
