Big Big Big Elephant Walks By Our Car on Safari

- While driving through Pilanesberg Game Reserve in South Africa, we came across the biggest elephant we had ever seen... just walking down the road. We stopped our land rover and let him walk to us... See what happens!
We're blessed to still have these creatures walking the earth.
they are stressed when our foot started hunting....
But for how long? It's a good thing they are in Africa for if they were in the US, gun nuts would have killed them off a long time ago!
@@nightlightabcd In USA, they would be much better off, because USA has more wilderness, while the African human population is exploding. The biggest threat to nature is the expansion of land used by humans. I suspect many Westerners have this nature doctumentary created image of Africa as some pristine continent filled with wildlife, but alas, the reality is different. Another problem created by the African overpopulation is poaching. Killing an elephant is economically a very good idea for many poor rural people.
@@AnnaMarianne arent pumas extinct in America? If you said canada I would say sure but africans have always lived in harmony with their wildlife. Americans do not. Y'all murder anything that doesnt fit with your society. And fyi the poaching is done because of the demand from westerners and Asians. Westerners are the only people who do trophy or game hunting like psychopaths.
@@danellymani205 I'm not American. And pumas aren't extinct in America. In fact their territory is expanding. Just like the populations and territories of large carnivores are expanding in Europe. In Africa though they are growing smaller, because the human population is exploding and the humans are taking all the space for themselves, and hunting the animals for bushmeat. That's just how it is in reality, regardles of your ideology and racist hatred, and what you'd want to believe in.
When he walks by the car it looks like a scene from Jurassic Park .
Lol. It really do.
yeahdude7 I was just going to say that....
+jai singh
you just stole the words from my fingers
yeahdude7 you're a fucking idiot.
I was JUST gonna say that!
Elephants deserve so much respect. They walk with such confidence its unbelievable! Absolutely amazing creature's.
"Creatures"
No apostrophe allowed there.
So would you if you were the boss of the animal kingdom 😀
That's the normal walking lmao
@@davecunningham8476
Rhinos are the boss
His country his rules
An incredible sight to see.
This giant elephant could easily crush the cars in its path but chooses to gracefully walk by with class. Absolutely Beautiful. XO
Elephant are very soft on there feet its interesting.
Those children are adorable- so well behaved and genuinely interested in the sights around them. Nice to see children who are like this than the ones constantly glued to their mobile phone.
This video is from 2011, so smartphones were not much common but yeah it's nice to see children who are like this and not on mobile phone all the time 😊
@@eveningafterrain And who haven't been brainwashed by crt!!!
Just dont give your kid a phone you dumb idiot
He's bigger than a house. Must have been a bit scary when he got close, but how can you not be thrilled at the sight of such an amazing creature.
What a beautiful giant!
Wow, he is walking like the Master of the Universe:)
tramuntan1ca He is the master of his universe
yes he is
tramuntan1ca He absolutely is the master of all he survey’s. ❤️❤️❤️
He-Man?
Well for all the idiots,
No, he is not lmao
Well done for sitting and not reversing, those kid just got a memory of a lifetime, he was a big fella and majestic.
Look how graceful the Elephant walks.
Heel-to-toe with such care and consistency.
Its amazing!
Even by just sitting here watching this video, I could feel the power and confidence radiating off that bull elephant, so I could only imagine what it felt like being right there when that magnificent beast walked right past their car.
I wish I could have said that.
He is impressive and he knows it.
A very huge and gorgeous gentle giant, so pretty and big. Love elephants, truly do. They are majestic creatures so intelligent and family oriented ……very lovely indeed. Thank God for this elephant walking along at his pace. God bless and protect them all from evil poachers, they deserve to live FREELY n their habitas without any human intrusion . 🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
"Nobody move a muscle" This reminds me that scene of Jurassic Park 🐊
with the wipers going...turn the wipers off, turn the wipers off...boom, boom
That’s exactly what most people are thinking when he walks by, Jurassic Park.
Luv the kids expressions. .they enjoyed that.they will remember that for ever....what an experience. God has made some incredible creatires
He certainly has. Thank you for saying it.
He is a true master of that land. He knows it and every other animal knows it.
That encounter is a gift. Not triggered, calm and mellow. Incredible.
If that elephant wanted to, he could turn that vehicle into Apple sauce. But he is cool. He was just posing for the cameras😎
Thant animal did not have a bad day.. otherwise...
He knows what he can do so whats d need to do . ha
we r insects infront of this majestic so called animals so he will not do any effort to kill insects like us unless we bite him .

The breath-taking majesty of that moment simply cannot be captured in video.
What a beautiful BIG Elephant! He's a King all right! How majestic and confident. A superior being. Love elephants!
The world must save them or a magnificent species will be lost.
How regal and majestic he is ! Beautiful
Wow such a big animal, and you can hardly hear it when it passes.
Which makes the heavy thumping of the dinosaurfeat in Jurrasic Parc even more ridiculous.
@@dirtyharry4649 Some dinosaurs were 10x heavier than the largest African Elephants of today. But your point still stands, unless a heard were stampeding, that would surely shake the ground some.
@@dirtyharry4649 True
I loved the tension that it built up for the movie, but anyone who knows anything about ambush hunters (T-Rex almost certainly hunted that way much of the time) would see how being able to stalk in near silence would be essential.
Also, the roar, while really well done and impressive, almost certainly sounded nothing like how T-Rex actually vocalized, which in real life would probably have been more of a very low pitch, low volume rumble.
@@dirtyharry4649 my dude a general sized T-rex is about 4 times this elephant's total weight and unlike the elephant, it was bipedal, so the entirety of it's weight while walking is almost always on one foot, an elephant on the other hand, having four legs, making their legs move in an offsetting motor (to counter-weight) so the weight distribution makes it vastly quitter
@@xxCrimsonSpiritxx I don't think so a big bull bush elephant like this can way anywhere from 10 to 11 tons and they stand 4 meters tall at the shoulder that's about 1.5 tons heavier then the biggest T,Rex.
"Keep absolutely still. Its vision based on movement."
Albert Lykes 'Nobody move a muscle!'
'Don't even blink; blink and you're DEAD'
Factually incorrect. Rhinoceros sight is better when detecting movement. All senses in an elephant are akin to super powers. The idea to keep still is not to antagonize the elephant, since it may become irritated with noise and/or movement.
Marita du Plessis its a jurassic park reference
luckily elephants are vegans
"Feel free to back up any time"
LOL
Lucky kids... to have parents bring them on a safari! They’ll remember this the rest of their lives. They just been taught how to love animals.
Loved the kid’s reactions.
The walk is so awesome majestic 👍👍 unshakeable confidence .
This massive giant is so awesome.
The visitors are so lucky 😀😀👍👍

Elephants are gentle giants & exceptionally intelligent. If they wanted to smash you into smithereens they can but choose to live alongside us humans in peace & hope we do the same! Beautiful!!
so jealous ... such beautiful creatures
the excitement and wonderment in the kids was joyful to see.
This proves there is hope in the youth still. These parents are instilling appreciation for the animals in these kids. Good on them and may them and their children live long lives.
the really big and dominant bulls dont attack unnecessarily. its the young "teenager" bulls who create trouble
Exactly. This bull has nothing to fear and nothing to prove.
igloo tropicale And it's the old bulls who keep in line young bulls preventing them from entering in musth and teaching them to act with deferance. Fathers discipline sons
Yeah, he already knows nothing around there is a threat. And has nothing to fear. He knows how big and strong he is xD
It’s the females with babies that are usually aggressive
@@timovangalen1589 this isnt accurate old males when in musth will be extremely aggressive this bull was not in musth and wasnt threatned he knew he was the biggest n baddest in the area
Respect to you and your kids friend, most videos Ive watched, people and their kids are freaking out.. you guys just stayed cool, the kids stayed cool.. respected the animal and everyone left happy!
Gentle walking mountain. Majestic!
Still one of my fav videos after all these years
Stunning! Absolutely magnificent and beautiful
Such a beautiful creature!!!!
Jeez. He's a giant, even for an Elephant.
This is even more impressive thanks to all the rain.
He is gorgeous.
You who were there and seen these incredible elephants are so blessed..Beautiful
"GOD'S AWESOME CREATION!!! BEAUTIFUL ELEPHANT!!! BIG BOY!!!❤
lol the kids are so excited to see him its cute
How lucky they were to be graced with his magnificent presence.
You need a Dad like that. Knows when it’s safe.
I smiled when the kids were chattering with amazement.
Elephant: "I just want to let you humans know that...ahem...I have the right of way."
Watching this big big big animal makes me feel I m not on this planet...so calm and peaceful....incredible
He´s so beautiful and majestic ❤
He walks gracefully.
Beautiful, strong, what a walk
AMAZING ELEPHANT!
No, dude - seeing you trapped in a car with five kids is the scariest thing I've endured.
I feel he put his kids in danger by just sitting there. Elephant could've easily flipped that car over
She made him marry and have loads of kids with her. Yes she is more scary than the biggest elephant.
+Taylor Gang89 As expected, there is always a liberal intellectual who is going to tell you how to raise your kids!
Wow you guys are pathetic. Always got to find the worst in any situation.
Mohamet Ahmed Gtfo of your feelings
That is the biggest elephant I’ve seen on any of these videos! Holy mammoth!
My favourite thing about this clip is the fact that not only he walking down the road, hes walking down the proper side lmao
He must be enjoying that rainy weather. Just walking down the road, taking his time, showing people what a big boy he is.
What a wonderful experience it must have been
I am sure they probably still remember it to this day 💗
I absolutely love elephants. What a great video.
dum dee dum dee dum just out for a stroll, what you freaks gawking at? says the elephant.
Think it was really saying, "Morning." lol
it feels like Dinosaur is passing.
such grand, beautiful and majestic creatures!
What a beautiful majestic creature. ❤🐘❤️
Wow this new trailer for Jurassic park is epic! can't wait to go and see the film now!!!
Nice footage. That's a magnificent elephant.
Heartwarming to see the kids marveling at it.
Closest thing to a real live Walking With Dinosaurs experience we humans could ever hope for.
jtno2 so true
Coughs in Rhino and Hippo
@@prehistoriccreature1800
Both of them are midgets.
They can't provide us with the proper Jurassic experience.
@@prehistoriccreature1800 Those are like 10 time smaller than an elephant, lol
@@mr.ditkovich6379 You're underselling the size of hippo and rhino wildly.
Adult bull African elephant common max weight = 14K lbs
Adult bull White rhino common max weight = 5K lbs
Adult bull hippo common max weight = 3K lbs
The car was still turned on, they openly stated that if need be they would move out of the way.
I don't see the issue, yeah the Animal is dangerous, but so is allowing your kids to walk by themselves to school. These kids had probably a better experience right here than 90% of people do in there lives! Listen to the amazement in there voices? Was there risk? Yeah! Was it worth it? Yeah!
I completely agree, those kids will never forget that
Very true
Magnificent animal protect them at all cost!
What a magnificent animal!
FANTASTIC! GREAT MEMORIES FOR THOSE KIDS.
Those children are very blessed to be able to have gotten to see that absolutely mammoth elephant walk right in front of them they will be able to tell that story the rest of their life not everybody will be able to say that
So majestic and powerful!!! To me, they're big babies. I'm sure the family was holding a collective breath when this big baby strutted by them-lol!!!
That bull is huge. No one messes with him. He was just calm walking down the road.
I think elephants are like any other animal. They display certain body language if they are threatened, angry, upset, etc. This guy (the ellie) was absolutely chill. No posturing, trumpeting, ear shaking or charging. As others have commented, he’s so big he knows he won’t be challenged. Why bother with scrawny humans?
He has things to do, He is not walking past for no reason, maby He is off to go find some salt.
Now, THERE'S an animal that has nothing in nature to fear whatsoever. Even the Lion King would bow to this monster, the true Emperor. If only the selfish and obscene profit-gouging humans would have that same respect.
…🌷😍🌷… Wow... What a Beauuutiful walk..................🌷🏄🌷………!
Beautiful,,,,,very,,sweet,,video,,of,,big,,elephant,,enjoying,,his,,long,,walk 😄😃😉🙄😙
. *When and How This Sea Creature Started Walking On the Land?*
❤👊🏻😁
I mean...I would've loved to see this IRL myself too but the fact that all those kids got to see--in real life and in person--up close?? Nothing more perfect!!😁❤👊🏻
That's the coolest! Thanks to the adults chaperoning these future adults!!
Pretty cool
That may have been the riskiest moment you will ever experience. For example, if you bet your entire net worth on a risky stock, that would have been way less risky. What if one of you was hurt? Elephants and all wild animals can be extremely unpredictable. A great deal of skill and experience is needed to mitigate the risk of standing off such a magnificent bull. Thank God every day!
This is what I call "minding your own business". He never bothered anyone and just wanted to stay his course. I wish more humans were this way.
Damn African elephants.... Love from *India.... 🤩🇮🇳*
I feel like there should be a guy getting out of the car and running to a bathroom.
"When you gotta go you gotta go"
OMG! He's huge and I wonder how old he is and beautiful elephant.
Just making an educated guess here, but he looks probably middle aged, meaning around 40-50 years old.
As long as he stays healthy and no poaching bastard gets to him, he will probably get up to at least 75.
DAD OF THE YEAR
It's amazing to see how the elephant is so reserved with all that strength. Yet with one kick he could send those tourists to emergency.
th-cam.com/video/z9cVHBajgAo/w-d-xo.html
Even elephants prefer to walk on roads❤
he looked like he's been roaming the earth for thousands of years
Dude how does one risk his children's lives while watching a massive wild elephant walk past your car. Anything could go wrong.. You were irresponsible to take the chance but fortunately you and your children survived it! You lucked out.
Elephants should have been the King of the Jungle easily.. .!! That royal walk... OMG...!!
That elephant got some some music playing in it's head.the way its leaning left and right.
When it already looks huge and you realise it's still 50 metres away... 😲
Feels like the giant monster from the end of the movie "The Mist"
I want to know how this guy kept 8 kids in the car absolutely quiet as Jumbo walked within 3 feet of them. That is a very good trick. That elephant was huge. 🦣🦣🦣🦣
Majestic in every way. Absolutely no predators except for stupid men who shoot them. We wish this gentle giant a long, long good and safe life.❤🙏
Beautiful. Just beautiful
THAT bull Gives NO Fucs
What an absolutely magnificent animal. Awesome is a word frequently used today, however, in this case......
Am Dog.
Elephants are architects of the jungle.
Sander169 In Asia they actually create roads in the jungles
elephants actually destroy jungle... and big fauna in general is the reason why there is savannah spread as much in Africa
no there are forest elephants and bush elephants, two different species. one lives in jungles and the other (above )lives in the savanna. theres also the asian elephant that live in tall grasslands
Lions to, as well as other animals!
Im getting Jurassic Park vibes. Keep still. No sudden movements. One is Hollywood. The other is walking past your car. Wow!
Maaan this was one wild cool animal on four legs. I think it knew of the presence of children otherwise it would have flipped em over and spun em out forever and a more. I was impressed!
So beautiful elephant.
"I don't think its smart to not get out of its way i got my shot" finally someone on safari with common sense.
