- As we were eating brunch an elephant was eating pods off of the ground and as it approached we were told to stay very still, which we did. To CLARIFY, nobody was feeding the elephant and nobody threw anything. A pod fell from the tree behind where we were sitting, this is what the elephant was eating the entire time. The elephant which had poor eyesight was startled when it walked upon us. It then Swung its trunk and head and hit Shane and Stephen. We respected the elephants territory and this is their HOME. We love these amazing animals and support African tourism. We were lucky to walk away from this. Please see Instagram @wolfography for more photos.

When you ignore the elephant in the room for too long ..
Arcsecant Lol!
Best comment lol.
Arcsecant so relatable lol
ROFL- most underrated comment of the century 😂
That was awesome! 😂
The elephant got pissed off because none of them offered him a chair to sit.
+MyLostTemple best comment
+MyLostTemple Very true
+MyLostTemple
damn low mannered people...
next time give your seat! and those sunglasses too
+MyLostTemple Nah ... Tantor clearly misses Tarzan ... he 'MUSTH' be very upset :)
+MyLostTemple so you have your mamma tought you manners >:(
"That's a nice party you guys are having, it'd be a shame if..."
Guisaki lmao
😂😂😂😂💀💀💀
He's probably mad because they were having dinner without him.
didnt ya see them throwing peanuts at him
I was thinking something similar, the empty plate on the table was his and they were crowding him so he made room.
@@DarkPsy yeah so cruel. :(
I'm surprised they didnt scream loud.
Dinner????
when your friends are hanging out but they didn't invite you
thats hilarious
I would poop on their party
darkleaves.. LMAO I needed a good laugh!! Too funny!!
Ahhhhh this Ellie is being just a bit naughty...didn't hurt anyone.
darkleaves brahahahahahahahhahah
It seems like the dude who was staring at him pissed him off
+nigerianplanet Got exactly the same feeling. Looking back was like challenging the elephant. The animal started to become agitated as soon as that man started to stare at him. Before that, nothing was wrong and it was just plucking grass out of the ground.
+nigerianplanet Exactly !!!!
+nigerianplanet The elephant must have reacted to his own reflection on the dude's glasses
+nigerianplanet yeah. You can see him looking straight to the guy. The elephant even give a sign before "attacking".
It's not even a attack actually, was more like a "What the fuck are you looking at hooman?!"
Never stare at the Elephant in the room😂
You are absolutely right. Never stare and provoke an wild animal
That idiot was staring down that elephant which is why he got smacked
james heyer
Elephant still held it tho.
It's like he didn't mean to kill, just taught those guys some manner 😆
That could have been so bad. Look how close his tusk comes to the guy's jugular vein.
Actually, knowing the behavior of elephants, he/she was quite gentle considering what could have happened.
he stared into his eyes for too long..... thats never good
Jared Davis
Clearly a bull elephant.
Simple arithmetic..
It was basically a love tap lol.
Once the bull notices the guy staring at him he immediately flares his ears out that is a clear warning sign
Its a bull
The elephant wasnt really aggressive. It wasnt an attack. He was just swiping two flies away.
it was like tinder, but in nature
The guy who got 'right swiped' should be pretty worried, lol.
more of a warning since the dude made eye contact with him. thats a threatening move
Man that big ahh head moving like that and the tusk no matter the speed just the impact is enough and he went at the first guy pretty hard possibly as hard as possible, he was kind to the second guy!
Notice how gentle the elephant was. It had no intent to hurt them, just to ruin dinner. Such an intelligent animal.
I don’t even think he wanted to ruin dinner I think he was just curious like what’s this what are they doing he just got a little too nosy for his own good
"gentle"
Gentle? Sure, for a 9,000 pound animal I guess you could label that as “gentle”. However, it was clearly a form of aggression and intent to harm. It just wanted to ruin dinner? An elephant is intelligent but not intelligent enough to distinguish was dinner is and how ruining it will cause stress to them.
What happened here is the young inexperienced bull walked up thinking the coast was clear only to be startled by humans. Did it’s thing to back them up and then went about it’s day.
@@Jay_Force_One you clearly have near zero knowledge on elephant behavior so I'll keep this as simple as possible. If the elephant was displaying a full act of aggression it would be more obvious. Ears flattened to the side of the head, charging at full speed, with the intent to trample everyone at the table. There would also be much more warning as elephant aggression is usually brought on by territorial behavior, so the elephant would have done things such as vocalized, bluff charged, etc.
he was like just stare at me one more time & it's ON!!
IMO, that elephant brushed them out of the way quite gingerly if you note the speed. He could have gone faster and really hurt them.
+TruthSurge Yeah the elephant wasn't angry but his belligerence and his daring attitude is typical of teenagers every species. Nevertheless he was intelligent enough to tame his enormous power...
+HIM Haile Selassie I Rastafari This one isn't full grown.
Jop 😅
Young bull is a jerk
@@bri-manhunter2654 No they were the jerks and entitled ass holes for not respect him in his home thinking they could just come and set up shop like thet belonged there. Just like a colonizer.
To clarify for everyone that has commented, there were no peanuts, and nobody threw anything to feed the elephant. It was a seed pod that fell from the tree and that is what the elephant had already been eating. Secondly, you are not supposed to run from wild elephants, you are told by the guides to sit as still as possible. The same thing happened minutes before and the elephant walked on with no issues. This was a young bull and they can be unpredictable. We were on a photographic safari thats SUPPORTS wild animals and African tourism and conservation. Thank you all for viewing.
Shane Wolf yah sit still don't flip a finger on a table n whisper, that is what provoked that beautiful young bull. Yet it was gentle Giant didn't mean trouble, or that guide could have been next. From Tanzania here, sadly we have lost a lot of Elephants from poachers.
If it were any good guide, he wouldn't have let it happen a first time, let alone a 2nd time. You really escaped death here. I have been on safari also but the guide always made sure there was someone with a big gun nearby making sure no wild animals would come close. I have been in about the same situation in Kenya only our guides made sure the elephant could't come close.
@@koekenzopie5919 what a fuckin comment!
As if "a big gun" would keep the elephant away.
For sure, the bull will look at the gun, thinking: "ok - this is a big gun, I better keep my distance."
@@mucsalto8377 what a fuckin comment! As if I meant the gun to be intimidating for an elephant. I meant the gun to be used. This is how tourists get killed and apparently you could be one of these Darwin award winners.
no point of running, because they will walk you down. fighting it is the same as me squaring up with a dump truck. So pretty much your at the elephant's mercy.
The first thing you should be taught is to never stare a wild animal in the eyes...
Not every animal dnt turn your back on a lion it will attack you but if you look straight into his eyes he will retreat and will neverattack you
Except if it is a cat thinking of attacking. For cats, if you drop out of a staring contest, it considers you easy prey and attacks
titus ngwenya unfortunately it's an elephant not a cat! Showing attention only maked the elephant curious.. Just ignore him he was definitely not aggressive.. If he act aggressive you have to hold eye contact and show no weakness but not in that case.. Just my opinion
So we should never stare at American soldiers?
Narrowc ross no they act aggressive :D you have to show no weakness :D sorry :D but that was a good one :D
That elephant was really slow and gentle and still knocked over two grown men as if they were made of paper
These animals are insanely strong
That was about 4 tons of pressure from the tusks.
Thanks for the slow-mo. I missed it at first.
lmao
lmao
з
Slow-mo? 2FPS is not slow-mo :D
Manoj Ravoori lol...good one bro
Get a clue, people ;-). When an African elephant holds its ears straight outwards, it means bad news. They were lucky.
suckittomcat how do you know that much I live in Africa this method is gonna save my ass thanks
suckittomcat thanks
What if I gave it tacos though? Everyone loves tacos.
Spartacus
Thank you. Good to know. Tho' I won't be near them anytime soon. :-)
Rodrick Steal
Actually there are several which I didn't even know till you asked. I knew about African and Asian (Indian). Here are some more: www.google.com/#newwindow=1&q=elephant+types
Can we just appreciate how everyone didn’t even make a noise while getting thrown around by the worlds largest land critter.
Your mom is the largest land critter….😂😂
Everything seemed fine until the man on the left glanced at the elephant and kept staring. Aren't you suppose to avert your eyes and not stare at them. I've heard that they perceive that as a threat?
its the sun glasses... the elephant perceived it as huge eyes and afterwards the elephant charged
Maybe read the description?
the description says otherwise
Nice tusks
gentlemen with the glasses should not have been looking at him
Joe Cavanagh the elephant definitely felt challenged. You could see his facial expression change when he noticed dude staring at him.
Kevin Smith what facial expression??😂😭😭
Princess Pai 😂
don't you see movement of his head where the the elephant look the man and next engage him ? (maybe because the man put pressure on him, elephant just respond)
I notice that now, well spotted !
you'll see why the elephant attacked at around 1:00
The guy on the left, very unwisely, looked the elephant directly in the eyes..and the elephant saw it
was wondering the same
Correct, however it is easier said than done, if a 6 ton animal is moving right behind you would you stay still?
I would probably shit my self!! LOL
I dont think it attacked at all. I think its a very big animal that is going to naturally move anything that isnt moving out of its way if it can which it did. Just an accident. There was very little force used. Watch it all in slow motion.
True the elephant also closed his ears, i think it's a sing that he felt threaten.
It was not an attack but it was also not just him moving through. They are incredibly intelligent, this was just a show of force to the humans and the one staring at him. He probably took that stare as a very minor challenge.
If the elephant attacked them they'd be dead , it was just saying show some respect
They show him some respect. But is not smart to be so close of wild animal, Specialy the big ones
Just A Regular Guy, there is always one guy who has to go that way with a video 🙄. Be more original bro, maybe then you might actually risk offending someone or even more miraculously making someone laugh. You Sir get 2/10 on the racial joke/comment index for being bland and unoriginal. You get the extra point because the first guy that said this was original about it.
Just A Regular Guy I'm not here to debate race and racism with you mate 😂.
I will say this though, believing you're "right" in this case not only showcases your subjective, but in doing so shows that your understanding is based on a hilarious and purposeful generalisation that my existence and the existence of most of the black people I know, goes a long way to disprove.
If you choose not to see that, or understand how generalisations work, that is your choice, but again, I didn't come to a video about an elephant charging a group of tourists to get my rocks off making racial remarks or debating racial precepts etc.
You can continue to discuss it if you wish, that is your choice, but you will be discussing it alone, unless someone with more time to waste than I do comes along. Have a great day.
Just A Regular Guy is just a regular low frequency racist swine with inferior genetics so he reverts to been a jeolous poor bag of bones
Brad Bobbit Yes correct then the elephant would be dead in about 3 seconds after a 50cal to the brain im afraid! Humans and wild animals don't mix well!
I love how the camera man is laughing at his buddies getting tossed around by an elephant
When you realize you weren't invited
lmao
😂😂😂
Missed out on a free beer.
Glad no one was seriously injured in this incident 🙏🏽 I would've never been that comfortable around that massive animal 😩
@@LuckyLibra927 Shout-out to the guy holding the camera 💃👌🙏
Worst slow motion EVER!
Samsung phone / android cam app
+Michael Nielsen Why?
+Michael Nielsen You got any videos in your pocket of a wild elephant approaching you? Didn't think so. Geez people will complain about anything!
+Michael Nielsen we can take, we can take, we can take our time 🎶
+Michael Nielsen Isn't the whole point of slow motion that the image still be... you know... in motion? Yeah I dunno how the bungled that.
Tge guy on the left looked the elephant in the eyes and as soon as he did, he challenged the animal cause at that moment the elephant got mad.
Kat F yeah, i think you can totally see his whole posture change when he notices the look!
Lol eat shit
The elephant noticed movement. It is like taking a shower and then becoming aware that a huge spider has been on the ceiling above you the entire time.
Good call.
Kat F
I thought the same 👍
NOTICE HE WENT AFTER THE DUDE THAT WAS STARING AT HIM FIRST THEN HIS BUDDY BY ASSOCIATION!
Dude on the left should not have kept eyeballing it like that
EMAN67 (Movies,politics,commentary) absolutely.. Still trying to understand why people want to change perfectly wild dynamics
Very true... animals know when they're being looked at and would definitely be perceived as too assertive by the male elephant.
@0:13 Watch the trunk off the elephant it is clearly focused on eating grass...
@0:58 You can see his trunk is slowly stopping to search for grass, as he realises the guy is staring...
@1:00.. He steps ahead and raises his ears and decides to push the guy away...
awesome! I'm not defending the guy, but I would've done the same thing (like an idiot) because in his head, he was probably thinking "god, what a majestic creature", as I would be thinking. I'm sure he had no idea male bulls were this intuitive because who in their right mind would wanna offend a FCKG BULL ELEPHANT XDD
+overlex Naw, you can see how annoyed he was that the elephant was there. He kept tapping his finger out of annoyance. The elephant and even I picked up on that with that look he gave the elephant. It was really dumb! I
I would defriend that guy on facebook if I was the guy on the right. LoL.
He was clearly pissed that nobody had saved him a seat!
Was ultra slow really necessary?
Annika Andersson
That's what elephants do
I agree.. However, totally worth it for guy on the rights slow mo O face 😆
It looked like everything was fine till the guy on the left looked straight at him. The guy on the right had his head down and was avoiding eye contact. Why would he make eye contact him? Isn't that like challenging him?
that slow motion felt like i was underwater for over a minute, gasping for air
Best comment
+84chevypickup how fascinating
+84chevypickup You should try setting it to 0.25x speed
+jay Zoo LOL !!!
Big mistake was to wear those sun glasses in front of an wild elephant.........or else nobody would have faced that situation........
That moment you're gently reminded that locking eyes with a wild animal is a direct challenge to it, and will likely land your ass in a lot of trouble.
Exactly
dude on the left is actually on my fb. i didnt believe him. but hes a solid guy and friend. he said he shouldnt have made eye contact with it. and feels like thats why it charged at them. i was like WHY are you just chilling out with a huge elephant right behind you to beigin with. but thats just me.
Elephant was like colonizer get out of my land!
"you yts are up to something."
You racist hey. What did those people colonize?
@@prhfuturetech3399 You need to find a sense of humour. Plus that's not what racism is. Learn the history of Africa and you will see how racism was used to justify colonialism.
That's why they made the joke. It's a joke about colonialism, you missed the point and got offended because you feel guilty about colonialism.
it thought they were white farmers
@@princesssookeh anyone who refers to caucasians as "yts" is not deserving of human being status
The look on the second guy's face is priceless: "OHHHHHHHH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!"
Uncle Putin 😂
If the big boy saw your 1 fps slo-mo, he wud find you next.
Hasib Imam lol
Lmaoo
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😭😭😭
You can tell he was holding back. He wasn't furious, just annoyed. He smacked that one dude around for staring at him rudely, and the other one just because he was there too.
This never gets old. I'm crying from laughter. The cameraman laughing is the greatest. The Oh face in slow motion too.
1:06 Holy sh@* are those peanuts? Excuse me! Pardon me!
with "tan shirt" continuing to stare from the start, at 1:01 he got the elephants attention...ears wide means back up bro
It funny how lions, buffalo, hyenas, wild dogs, hippos, rhinos et al all seem to back off from an elephant when they approach, but these tourists were told not to move!?
WTF!!!??
I think the elephant was thinking "Fcuking tourists. I'll teach them for not giving me the room I need!"
All of those animals are killed by elephants, so I wouldn't mimic them. Nor can you sprint as fast as any of them.
That was actually fairly gentle considering what it could have done.
Guy on the left should not have stared down the elephant.
No one offered the Elephant any food is what pissed him off.
Michael McClelland he was protecting the hood yo 🤙🏽
You took way too long to move - so he moved you!
The funniest part is that he didn’t kill anyone, when he easily could have, he just f’ed them up.
To be fair someone back there, probably could also do it if it was harder situation
Anyone with eyesight who's paying attention can clearly see that it was not a trunk slap, and he didn't use his trunk at all. As a bull elephant in his prime, given his tusk length, probably around thirty years old (not a teenager), he was eyeing them in the approach, and flared his ears out at the last moment, before communicating that he is powerful and strong. That was his message. It was not an attack, it was forceful communication to Men, and Men have been the elephants top predator. So in his view, Men present a serious threat. He tucked his trunk back under his chin, and used his tusks to knock them over. He didn't want to do more than that, or he would have. He was sending a message, and it came across clearly.
Why the guys were sitting with their backs to the view, makes no sense. You would think they would've sat with their backs to the structure as the videographer did. Not the brightest guys.
Everything was fine, you can see it in the elephant's countenance, until the man on the left turned his head to look full on at the bull elephant. Right then, the elephant's countenance took a shift. He obviously felt challenged by the man's sudden turn and foolish stare, and immediately stepped up to deal with it. That man should never have turned his head to the degree that he did. He should have followed the instructions the guides gave him, about not moving, about not staring. The bull elephant was responding TO HIM, it was THAT MAN'S ACTIONS that caused this.
don't look them in the eyes....
You are right. One of the guys did exactly that, and he was the first one slammed.
+Joyce Stewart
yeah....captive Lions also maul who look em in the eyes....
+Timo van Galen lol
I don’t think they can hear you
When the boss finds out your having a meeting without him...😂
I appreciate your short explanation, the fact that you understood you were in his territory and that you respected him the whole time. Thank you for sharing. I am glad you all appeared to be okay.
His territory? So where do humans live?
The reply is probably the stupidest person in this comment section💀💀
don't stare at the Elephant. that's when he started to charge when that guy was looking at the elephant. animals see it as a threat when you look at them. when you stare at them they see it as provoking.
Literally the worst slow motion I've ever seen.
No. The slow mo is detailed
2:09 i love his "ooo!" face XD
dude you just sat there after an elephant punted your buddy lol
Elephant: hey humans wanna know my favorite song? I CAME IN LIKE A WRECKING BALLLL
Mr. elephant was angry because he wasn't invited to the dinner party
+JorgeJavier Laborde yeah right....
+JorgeJavier Laborde Or rather no one was willing to share Peanuts with Tantor :)
This elephant was like. Huh? Wah you say? This seats are taken? GTFO of here!
Bartek B LOL good one !
I think part of it was the fact that the guy was staring at him. Eye contact can be an aggressive move.
it was the guy on the left he got cute and made eye contact and the bull was like "OH HELL NO"
"Are you looking at me, are you looking at me?", Joe Pesci, Goodfellas.
Once he flared those big ears, I immediately knew what was gonna happen next. x'D Btw, worst slow motion ever, video would've been better without it.
He took the direct eye contact from the man on the left as a threat, then he pushed them outta the way…
Jesus! Glad you're ok. And thanks for the explanation in the description.
never stare at a wild animal
Why are they whispering? Pretty sure it can hear them.
1:00. Now why the fuck would you look a wild animal that is much stronger and bigger than you in the eye?!
That elephant was like: Yo nice party guys but ya’ll owe me some money
The elephant was like "Is that.. is that lawn furniture you placed in my yard? Ya'll get the fuck outta ma home right now"
"You guys know where that dentist niqqa is?? aight tell him im lookin for his ass"
Sometimes there's nothing you can do to prevent this, you just have to not make matters worse. I think it was handled extremely well.
Read comment above.
Extremely well would have been moving before he got there
@@flarion00 Yes, do that so you can startle it more. These guys did what they were supposed to do, you would just get yourself trampled.
@@OGStarlightKY lol. I highly doubt it cause I'm throwing you in the way
@@flarion00 No cause that would've cause more movement and could have irritated the elephant more = a harder attack
you looked at him. with animals that's enough of a threat. he was smart enough to realize it wasn't that much of a threat and not do more damage
Wow. Elephants are known for not going around. They demand their right to pass. He doesn't care that you made camp. He wants to go exactly how he wants to go. We have had to get out of their way many times , and scramble when we missed the signal that we were in one's intended path. I was on a bus where we were admiring a herd crossing the road, only one lingered back and refused to cross in front of us. Instead he held his place next to us. The driver suddenly gunned it further down the road, explaining that when he huffed and made the noises the elephant was making, it was a displaying moment, and the elephant was going to follow through on his point. They are fully capable of flipping a bus. When we got out of the way, he ambled across behind us. I got charged by a solo bull in a jeep once, and it was a terrifying reverse at full speed trying to get clear of his charge/trumpet saying that he goes through, not around. Respect the elephant. They command their place. It's quite majestic, seeing how completely confident they are that they are in charge.
0:21 They try to look cool, but I see their fear from the face and breathing. I can feel it.
Keskinkilicnr1 he can feel it he can feel it
if it wanted too. that elephant could have killed everyone. must admit, a scary situation.
If this is a paid tour the people in change are idiots, would they all sit silently and enjoy the wildlife experience if it were a lion or hippo. You shouldn't be surprised if a lion or elephant wanders into camp, you should have that wildlife experience in a car.
carlo fraiia
Everyone likes being naughty once at least in a year.
Remember that elephants is vegans :P maybe it smell'd the meat on them and saw them as a threat.
myko freder read the description
no shit. but there are many ways for them to survive it easily in this situation
Humans:
Elephant: THIS. IS. SPARTA.
Elephant was like "The fuck you looking at!?" Before attacking the guy with the glasses 🤣🤣🤣
He is like Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory..."you are in my spot"😂😂😂
Ashim Sharma Sheldon is not funny.
뿡뿡! ^__^ the show is not fun
They were at HIS home, and he simply wasn't in the mood for guests!!! I love him!!!!
Arnold Schwarzenegger voice:
Geeet ouuit my vaaay ❗❗❗
That slow motion makes me feel like jumping off the high bridge
The man on the left should have avoided eye contact with the elephant. I think it made him/her angry. If it was reproduction season, well, they're lucky to be alive, and it wasn't their fault, but if not, I wouldn't see why he/she would attack them
OMG.. The man was looking at the elephant eyes -> everyone know that it mean fight in animal world. And when the elephant make his ears wide it was warning for that man - but he was stupid and still looked directly on the elephant.
Same in primitive or native cultures. It's only white urban cultures, especially on Davie Street, that it means something else entirely ;-=)
More like the elephant thought it was challenged, but didn't really take it seriously since it just nudged everyone away instead of aggressively impaling/bashing them.
Get the gun!!!
The dude on the left was looking the elephant in the eye, that is a challenge and the big boy put him in his place.
In the animal world? Do you live in some sort of fable?
lol I love watching him carefully assess the situation and then casually make his way to you guys, whilst also making sure he has a presence. He didn't like the guy in beige from the moment he started staring at the elephant and tapping on the table. The elephant acts like he has been disrespected in some way. Fascinating.
elephant showing who the real boss of nature is.
I guess someone mentioned the elephant in the room.
You could see the elephant looking at both of them, saying 'I'm an elephant, your supposed to get out of the way'.
It's so cute! He disapproves of something and shows his dissatisfaction. Like a grown-up disciplining children. Amazing!
Fun how in slow mo it looks like the cooks came out to give the elephant a round of applause.😂👏👏👏
I'm glad to see a recent comment. Reading through all these comments from 3-5 years ago feels lonely.
Man, that must have been scary!! Great vid, tnx 4posting:)
They are magnificent.
Save the elephants by NOT buying ivory items.
How hard can it be??

Talk to the Chinese.
Global how about ending poverty so the people in extreme poverty that live there have a more steady economic opportunity so they don't have to hunt and poach?
Global .. I have a sweet elephant skin wallet... fuck the ivory, their leather is the best.
I buy ivory specifically to kill more elephants. They are a pest in my parish.
Oh my gosh, the guy who is laughing so hard it's like a wheezing. Love this video.
That elephant is the drunk uncle that shows up late for thanksgiving 😂😂
Aww...he was just playing

where's proof?

+isthislife2 nice! pick on a little kid, yah big bully!
Can't believe they sat there for as long as they did, those tusks are often fatal.
haha the elephant is like: "Dinner is over bitches"
Elephant has casted a lot of spells and needed to regenerate his mana pool too.
Imagine one of those tusks going into your chest...this was a gentle nudge in elephant terms. Too close!
Slow motion definitely helped me address the elephant in the room.
Guy on the right , glances back, and all of a sudden, realizes him and his friends are trespassing.
