That elephant is going to get some crap from his buddies.

If I was there, I would back-hand that bull elephant until he understands who is boss.

Como se podrá haber puesto esos pantalones con el tamaño de esos huevos

Miren el tamaño de esos huevos* v':

This is as good as a spiritual seminar :) or better. I bow to you.

whats around his neck

The elephant is telling you to leave politely.

It shows they are intelligent animals. Anything stupid will run you over or be killed

Allan McSmith The next” Chuck Norris”!!! 😎

This man tells a woman to shut up and she obeys

Its like huma trying to shoo a street cat or a dog, but they couldn't care less

I noticed that when I focus more/enough with my senses, my head gets so filled with intake that the thoughts stop rattling. Ever since I learnt that, it's mostly quiet in my head, until I take my time to think. Connection to the outer world is for me a shortcut to zen, or is zen. Plus I both learn more and get more beauty. Get to know more of people. The interconnectedness I think gets greater when you notice where the other person's focus is. That is valuable.

Dude are you the guy who stopped the elephant in the past ?

Great work kid!

Complete badass!

Wow! The way that elephant made it look like he was just accepting the guide after the first charge then suddenly turns on the burners and charges again is so intimidating and shows us just how quick these marvellous creatures are. Full respect for the iron balls of that ranger who knows how to read the body language and stay alive. Wouldn't recommend this to others though eh 🫣

Why didn't he just take away its credit card?

I just stumbled on you and your work recently, and I feel so lucky that I did..... Learning from elephants, not about them: wow. This lines up with the wisdom I've heard from my favorite animal communicators. All of nature is saying, Learn about yourselves, honor yourselves, "and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man". And this kindness to each other leads to kindness to all things, all beings. Thank you for being a living example of what it means to be kind to self, and to all beings. 💚💚💚

In the 50ties..early 60ties my mother would get out of the car to watch the elephant herd..nothing happened..she had a way with animals... today a bunch of cars..many tourists on the sight...stressing the animals more...and..elephants remember..if they have encountered humans as violant and dangerous..they do not forget.

If this happened in sri lanka people tend to think this is a miracle of the god...then trying to worship of this man...😂😂.

Thank you so much for sharing this discussion. 👍

This is beautifully said. Thank you for sharing your appreciation for tracking and showing that fascinating lithic.

My mother has a way with wild animals.. she would get out of the car to look closer at a herd of elephants..they never showed agression... they must have sensed her aura.. that she loved them.

Elephants are gentle giants (unless provoked or in musth). I absolutely love and respect them. They are remarkable intelligent emotional creatures. The guide has experience and the elephants can sense his calmness.

C'est incroyable! Cet homme a un calme et une connaissance des éléphants. C'était Une situation dangereuse. J'adore! Merci!

Esse cara é maluco se tá doido é muita coragem

Did it end well???

Indeed u can't fool 30 years of experience - exemplary!

Bonjour Monsieur Alan. Je suis malheureusement tres pessimiste. Merci.

Monsieur, Votre communion avec la nature est admirable. Je ne trouve pas mes mots .

Je suis impressionnée , mais vraiment ! Je n’ai jamais vu de telles images...

Incroyable !

Can you even imagine having the sheer amount of testicles you would need for this? I would be shitting my pants cryiing on the floor in seconds

Wwoow🎉

We need to appreciate the camera man, he did not blink either!

That easy, huh. I will try this with a polar bear the next time.

Смелый мужик со стальными яйцами 🥚🥚

Respect on both sides. Great interaction wasn’t it. Me I would have turned round, slipped over on my arse and that would have been the end of me! 😅

Goddamn

This is original video that was cutandpaste several times.

That was amazing!

I would rather be a coward than risk getting squashed.

Impressive!

Some how the Elephant got the impression that he is charging a PT instructor & not a hunter or a PH . It lost its wits by kicking the bushes and dust out of sheer disgust & walked away😱🤔

ALAN, I AM PLEASED THAT YOU HAVE THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO BE IN CONTROL AND NOT SHOOT THESE ANIMALS EVEN IF THEY PROVOKED A LITTLE. THE ELEPHANT PROBABLY VIEWED YOU AS A FOREIGNER ON THEIR TERRITORY.

Permission to take this vidio to make instagram reels😊

How did you know that you should stand your ground? Also, did you feel afraid but just not show it? My heart would be pounding out of my chest.

McSmith is lucky he's standing in front of the camera man. When dealing with tense situations like this one, there are 2 important rules: Rule #1: Camera man never dies. Rule #2: Never forget rule #1.

McSmith is a brave person and has intense knowledge about the elephant behaviour. It is not an eassy job to face a giant African elephant bare footedly and with just a thin wooden stick. Very few person can do this and McSmith is on of them.

Courage sakthi
