  • Angry Elephant Charges Safari Guide | Big 5 | African Wild Elephants
    We experienced this nerve-wracking encounter in the heart of South Africa near the Kruger National Park. Tension was building up searching for this herd of 22 African Elephants. This Elephant Bull charged the Safari Guide and our Game Viewing Vehicle. Cazwell, our tracker, nearly wet his pants experiencing this deadly charge. He did an excellent job to cope under these unusual circumstances. I love it when he says: "What's wrong with you?" Nature always makes me feel small. Such a memorable experience!

      Elephants have an innate fear of humans due to the amount of time they've lived alongside us. We're not the biggest or strongest, but we are incredibly adaptable, intelligent, and live in large groups. This means that if one person is killed, it's more than likely that more people will come for whatever killed their friend. There are lots of videos where people who hold their ground are able to ward off large elephants. Really neat stuff!

When it charges at a rhino or human and they don't move they stop because they think you are calm because you can win against them and don't feel threatened. Running shows fear which means the elephant is confident in the fact that it poses a threat to you

    It's 100,000 years ago. You're walking with some other hunters from your tribe through the scrublands of Africa, armed only with primitive weapons. Suddenly you hear a trumpeting sound and the snapping of tree limbs. You look ahead and see a massive, tusked animal running at you with incredible speed while making the loudest sound you've ever heard.
    It's incredible to think that every human on Earth had ancestors who experienced this very situation. We've come a long ways as a species.

    They're lucky the elephant was only bluffing. They should've taken the hint and left the area. Not a good idea to antagonize a 7-ton animal

      7 tons is more likely the weight of the female. Males are heavier. This would be a male, since he is alone.
