Do like the ranger, do like the ranger: don't speak, don't move, don't make eye contact! The elephant may have just been curious, but I've seen an elephant crush a man to death with its head. No joke.
Very foolish by the humans involved: – by deliberately posing as a potential threat, thereby putting unnecessary stress on an elephant in musth, – while at the same time, putting the lives of people at risk. Very foolish, but also cruel behaviour towards the elephant.
The elephant came within an inch of shish kebabing that person with his enormous face antler. When they kill and eat lions and zebras they kebab them and then beat them to death with their noses. You can see that an alligator or bear or something ate one of his antlers, anyway, it was obvious that it was a racist elephant, he didn't want to eat that black man.
He is a fighter and successful warrior bull elephant. How many were in that jeep, and he still approached and surveyed their worth? Lol Elephants have a keen sense of smell, as do all wild animals. Survival. ( His 1/2 missing tusk says it all) He was probably smelling all of you to assess your skill, or lack there of. 😊 ❤🐘❤
A person who has good patience can enjoy the beautiful environment. Similarly, seeing elephants becomes dangerous only if you see the suffering of the animals.
At 56'': this bird lands on a tree branch, smelling a possible meat meal in case the elephant decides to show who's really the boss and scatter everyone. The laws of nature always triumph, with or without man.
I was traveling in a open Jeep of the forest department. When I asked the forest officer about the encounter with an elephant. He said just sit there not doing anything or honking. He also follows the same. After 5 minutes, he will move off as thinking you are not a trouble maker.

Always treat them with respect. 🙏
He is in musth ( discharge, close to the ears), means elevated testosterone levels, danger level is off the charts.
Lucky someone wasn't impaled on one of those tusks!
@more objects & facts
Dude, that bull elephant is in musk. Even I can tell that and I'm no safari tracker. Get the hell out of there.
WOW!!
He's like "Dude, my frigging tusk is too long. My trunk keeps getting stuck on it. Can you help s brother out and just trim it a little?
I'm afraid to move, and I'm thousands of miles and weeks beyond this.
I have seen that if an ele is supercharged then he will do the damage in the first few seconds & will not wait to make final decision
Looked more like curiosity to me
Leave them alone!!!!
Elephants are pretty smart. Wait 'til they discover humans are easy prey.
man these things are soooo fucking huge

With the water dripping from his sides appears he is in musth too. You guys were lucky. He's dangerous at this time. Hormones.
What a majestic animal!
He just thought they were being rude by staying in his way. Why not move then.
Probably old buddies
elephant is calm and relaxed. people in car shitting their pants.
Appreciate a video where the tourists are quite and respectful, and totally in awe, rather than laughing and carrying on like a bunch of idiots
