@michaelsteyn: Most Africans don't interact with wild animals on a regular basis anymore than most white westerners interact with bears or musk oxen. Western tourists are far more likely to have this kind of so-called authentic African experience.

Weight, edit: not necessarily weight, That truck is around 3.5 to 4 the weight elephants can lift, but puts significant strain on their tusks, reason why it didn’t continue flipping it, elephant tusks and muscles are not made for lifting more than that, they are more for pushing

I'd call it an attack. How else is an elephant going to attack?
@yuukisama2001
Ай бұрын
Yep. While elephants are matriarchal in nature, most troops that are headed by females, there is usually a male bull that roams around the area. Sometimes these bulls are connected to the troop staying on the outside of the groups. Living a more solitary life. But if someone happens to come by in a truck and you run across a herd it's best to take caution because there might be a male nearby watching. And since it's his territory you can end up on the wrong end of a bull's territorial aggression.

You have to see the entire video. The safari driver turns the vehicle around to face him, the elephant had backed off but started to walk on the side of the vehicle toward them and the safari driver starts revving his engine and goes toward the elephant, instead of just leaving. I could see how this elephant took that as a challenge.

If there is one thing the history of evolution has taught us it's that life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories and crashes through barriers, painfully, maybe even dangerously, but, uh… well, there it is.

Got a good mechanic, the fact no belts came loose or no battery terminals came off, and they weren’t dead In the water after the front of the truck like that was dropped is impressive
Perhaps the elephant thinks that we humans are the punks..
dude called the elephant a punk for showing bark and not bite uhhh. what? lmao

Had some good conversations with rangers when in parks in South africa. Punk is harsh word. They have the size to be a bully and have the arrogance but that's it.
