MOST AMAZING ELEPHANT ENCOUNTER

We had a crazy elephant encounter as we arrived at our bush camp. The wet stuff on the elephant's head means he is in "Musth", which means he is looking for a female to mate with, and he is extraaaa-agro! The grey truck is ours, we had just arrived and finished unpacking our gear, waiting for the rest of our party to arrive, when we heard branches snapping from our hut. We went out to investigate, and this video shows what we found. He was at our camp for a couple hours causing havoc. By the end of our stay, we ended up seeing 4 of Africa's Big 5 animals in our camp! We saw Lion, Buffalo, Elephant, and Rhino. The only Big 5 animal we didn't see at our camp was Leopard. We saw lots of other animals though, it was an amazing get-away with some great friends.
A big THANK YOU! to "African Surfaris" for the adventure of a lifetime! www.africansurfaris.com
Note to kids... Never try to physically touch a wild African Elephant. "You die!" says our Bush Tracker.

If you happen to be in the way they will actually wait for you to realize that you are on their time, you learn this quickly ! These guys knew very little about elephants. Should have known that he was a bull on sight. Quiet but too much movement. At one point, too close to him. Your best lesson is to learn how quickly an elephant can close distance. And learn to spot a bull in must ! Great video !

    I think he was trying to teach them how to build a wall to protect themselves from the lion pride stalking them. Trees and braches are mushed together to make a dense, scratchy tall and wide wall that lions cannot jump over or get thru. Trees near the building could be used by lions to get on roof or to perch to jum p on a person walking. Plus the downed trees could prevent lions getting beneath the building. The elephant calmed after he showed them how to build the wall or took down trees by the building. He knew what lions were doing, and planning. Smat and protective. And very angry at lions--not people. He was careful not to hurt their car or camp; tree broken only to make a lion barrier. Survivor Africa were taught this and listened to lions try to figure a way around or thru it all night. It was horrifying! But the fence worked.

    I think he knocked those trees down and shoved them where he did trying to teach them how to protect themselves from the pride of female lions watching them. That is how locals taught Survivor Africa cast to build walls very thick and tall to keep lions out of camp at night--they cannot jump over and cannot get thru dense scratchy brush. Could have kept the lions from getting on walkway, on roof, or under building. This was a worried and smart guy. They (western biologists) are just learning how psychic elephants are. (knew baby was born out of sight, etc. but that is not why they know this). I think he was trying to protect harmless but ignorant people from a massacre.

    I’m not convinced this guy was in musth. The leaking at the temporal lobes can happen at any time of the year, not only when they are in musth. When they are in that stage, the secretion is usually drenching the sides of the face and incredibly smelly. The most telling sign of musth is a constant dribble of urine that leaves wet, greenish stains on their back legs and also stinks to high heaven. I didn’t signs of that on this bull. Elephants knock trees over all the time searching for food and water (they actually fell more trees every year than humans!) and he was either curious or had an itch and the truck bed was the perfect height to scratch it. He wasn’t really showing any signs he was particularly annoyed just showing off how big and strong he is. It was an awesome experience, thanks for sharing!

    Look closely around 4:50 and you'll see him dribbling urine. Also, the lower part of his hind legs are wet, soaked in urine. I agree that the streaming at the temples is not enough to indicate musth. It's a sign of emotion or excitement, both in bulls and cows.

    When they have that discharge on the side of their heads, they are in musth and can be more aggressive than normal, so it's best to keep some extra distance, especially if you're a good looking ford bukkie, because you might get mounted by a 6 ton elephant.
