That one man in the light blue shirt really pissed the Bull off. When he kept moving and moved over by the woman in blue. The Bull gave him a head jerk. They should of all stood completely still and quiet. I have never been to Africa but even I know that. I would of been as still as a statue, just awestruck by his majestic beauty. He would have taken my breath away so I probably would of looked dead to him. I would give anything to be able to see that gorgeous creature in person. I am a huge animal lover, but if I were there, I could go on home after that because to me nothing else would compare. 😁

Tip: His ears are flared out. This is NOT a good sign. This means he is in FEAR, potentially aggressive! He could have quite easily "up'd" his reaction + someone or multiple ppl could have been killed. Elephants, esp'ly African sub-species which are more aggressive, are NOT 2B toyed with.

@@debrahouston2884 Man has proven himself to be a threat to wildlife, man is renown for being untrustworthy, so it is intelligence that the elephant extends her ears (*not a bull) in the presence of a threat. Of course, she could have raised her response-level instantly, that's a given. That's *always a given. Of course, there's a potential for aggression, the people showed that by intruding into her territory, and she wanted them to back off or leave. But knowing her place in the Wild, and having confidence and exuding it, gives no necessity for fear, she wasn't fearful. People need to understand: elephants are not aggressive, they do *not *initiate trouble with man, they only stand their ground or defend themselves after man has intruded or threatened, which man's very presence conveys. Aggression necessarily includes initiation of threatening behavior, and that is always done by man. Elephants only respond, they don't initiate. Even when elephants eat from someone's crops or garden, invariably trampling it by consequence, they are not attacking or aggressing against man: that is man's emotional sense of it, but the elephants are *not attacking any man when they eat. Sure, it does damage to the garden or crops, for which man takes offense, but as an elephant sees it, eating crops does *not equate to being aggressive, because they are eating of Nature, they are engaged with Nature, not man. Elephants only respond. They may finish the battle, but they never start it. The problem is that man has little to no understanding of what he sees, and as a result, he does not exercise wisdom. Female elephants have a relatively wide sheath that covers the opening of the birth canal, that hangs down and protects it from mud, dirt and injury. That is what we see here. People that don't study elephants don't realize that is what it is. The gender markers of this elephant make her reality clear. At 03:18, she unfurls her trunk to say "Leave!" but the people don't listen. That is one of their "Go away!" gestures. No one "removed" her tusks, they broke off. If this had been a bull, the tusk that remains visible (her right one) would have been much thicker.

There was obviously no guide here or if there was, he/she failed their job. I did have an ele sneak up behind me out of nowhere while I was squatting in the bush. I stood up and was 2 ft away from a bull passing through. I don't think I even breathed, I just froze. Saw the wiry hairs on his trunk. He eyed me for a minute but thankfully he was just headed to the water beyond the bush and I was lucky. If I'd moved around like these fools, no doubt I'd have startled him and would have been severely injured or dead.

No issue with tourists. Issue is when human behaviour is utterly inconsiderate and disrespectful. Firstly respect the laws of the country you visit. Secondly respect the laws of the game parks and reserves you visit. Thirdly as a humans... respect the animals....give them their space. Should something happen...oh it becomes a tragedy and all media sensation is let loose. There were many lions and other animals put down...why? Because of humans. You say you love nature...really now ? Respect nature first !!!

That one man in the light blue shirt really pissed the Bull off. When he kept moving and moved over by the woman in blue. The Bull gave him a head jerk. They should of all stood completely still and quiet. I have never been to Africa but even I know that. I would of been as still as a statue, just awestruck by his majestic beauty. He would have taken my breath away so I probably would of looked dead to him. I would give anything to be able to see that gorgeous creature in person. I am a huge animal lover, but if I were there, I could go on home after that because to me nothing else would compare. 😁
I almost had a heart attack watching this!! CRAZY PEOPLE!

@@debrahouston2884 Man has proven himself to be a threat to wildlife, man is renown for being untrustworthy, so it is intelligence that the elephant extends her ears (*not a bull) in the presence of a threat. Of course, she could have raised her response-level instantly, that's a given. That's *always a given. Of course, there's a potential for aggression, the people showed that by intruding into her territory, and she wanted them to back off or leave. But knowing her place in the Wild, and having confidence and exuding it, gives no necessity for fear, she wasn't fearful. People need to understand: elephants are not aggressive, they do *not *initiate trouble with man, they only stand their ground or defend themselves after man has intruded or threatened, which man's very presence conveys. Aggression necessarily includes initiation of threatening behavior, and that is always done by man. Elephants only respond, they don't initiate. Even when elephants eat from someone's crops or garden, invariably trampling it by consequence, they are not attacking or aggressing against man: that is man's emotional sense of it, but the elephants are *not attacking any man when they eat. Sure, it does damage to the garden or crops, for which man takes offense, but as an elephant sees it, eating crops does *not equate to being aggressive, because they are eating of Nature, they are engaged with Nature, not man. Elephants only respond. They may finish the battle, but they never start it. The problem is that man has little to no understanding of what he sees, and as a result, he does not exercise wisdom. Female elephants have a relatively wide sheath that covers the opening of the birth canal, that hangs down and protects it from mud, dirt and injury. That is what we see here. People that don't study elephants don't realize that is what it is. The gender markers of this elephant make her reality clear. At 03:18, she unfurls her trunk to say "Leave!" but the people don't listen. That is one of their "Go away!" gestures. No one "removed" her tusks, they broke off. If this had been a bull, the tusk that remains visible (her right one) would have been much thicker.

the entire time, it is ibvious that blue coat is a complete idiot. but i really made up my mind about that at 4 minutes. shortly after the bull bucks at them, she does move back a bit. but then at the 4 m mark, as the bull has gotten closer, she walks briskly over to the guy on the left. and the bull actually tracks her. unbelievable. she pretty much broke every "rule" in the book right there. Too close. Turned your back. Walked very fast directly in front of him... and on and on.
He wanted the marula fruit. Good boy!💟🐘💟

The gender markers of this elephant make her reality clear. It is not only bulls that secrete fluid from their temporal glands, females do too: this elephant is not in Musth. These people should not have been walking around: to be still is daring enough, but to be moving as they did, conveyed to her that they were unpredictable, and all animals know that humans are not trustworthy, which is why she told them to leave. At 03:18, she unfurls her trunk to say "Leave!" but the people don't listen. That is one of their "Go away!" gestures. No one "removed" her tusks, they broke off.

I stood up and was 2 ft away from a bull passing through. I don't think I even breathed, I just froze. Saw the wiry hairs on his trunk. He eyed me for a minute but thankfully he was just headed to the water beyond the bush and I was lucky. If I'd moved around like these fools, no doubt I'd have startled him and would have been severely injured or dead.

Tutto vero , le persone devono studiare gli animali prima di avventurarsi in situazione simile, non si rendono conto di quando pericolo corrono, ignorano totalmente l'intelligenza degli animali e il loro territorio di cui tutelano...

Dark Cloud - An impassioned Comment and so judgemental. When was the Elephant’s mood change? He seemed perfectly chilled, cool calm and collected throughout. He came looking for snacks, found them, ate them and left. Out of curiosity - How many Safaris have you done, roughly ........ ?
Incredible and beautiful animals thanks
What a marvelous animal
Those people need their heads examen!!! They love pushing there luck. CRAZY!!!
I don't know why these folks gawking at elephant don't have a few big juicy sweet watermelons with which they could leave on ground for ELEPHANT. These poor creatures are HUNGRY & THIRSTY!

Then ppl will become targets for food. Look at the 'Dont Feed the Bears' laws at Yellowstone National Park in the USA. If animals learn to get food from ppl they stop foraging for their natural dietary fare & ppl become endangered when they don't have enough or the right kind of snacks. Plus the animals can get really sick, 'Hey look he's eating the Doritos!' You know ppl would try giving them all kinds of stuff!
No issue with tourists. Issue is when human behaviour is utterly inconsiderate and disrespectful. Firstly respect the laws of the country you visit. Secondly respect the laws of the game parks and reserves you visit. Thirdly as a humans... respect the animals....give them their space. Should something happen...oh it becomes a tragedy and all media sensation is let loose. There were many lions and other animals put down...why? Because of humans. You say you love nature...really now ? Respect nature first !!!

Ello és una preciosidade , eu fico boba com tanta belleza.
They all start to relax when the picnic table is between them and the elephant. After all the elephant can't jump over the table - can he?
So cool how elephants just do way cool elephant shit...
You guys got guys, but did u know that bull is in musth and can become dangerous any moment, especially when you are in front of him. Moreover he seems a very good mannered guy.

@Der Gorghast No. He is definitely in musth. You can see traces of urine on his hind legs and gland secretion from his head.!!!
Beautiful!
BEAUTIFUL. THANK YOU.
Judging by the elephants behaviour and the vegetation i assume this was filmed at Mana Pools in Zimbabwe?
