- When the lead bull of an elephant herd goes missing, the group is thrust into chaos. In order to restore the peace, a new elephant king must be crowned.

Poor Elephant.. why would you name him Prince Charles?? He’s much more handsome than the human prince Charles !
Ears
Very True!!!
Handsome or not: *He da Kang now* (as is his proboscean namesake of old) ! 😀
Ikr 😂😂😂
She is very brave to be around adult bull elephants in their prime.
A devastating fight could happen at any time!
,Elephants are such magnificent creatures and I have watched every video I can find of them babies/family/bulls . I don't watch any videos of them being abused or slaughtered as I cannot handle cruelty even when baby elephants are killed by predators . I just want to see them happy , safe , and living as nature intended !!
@Son Goku No I have never eaten any animal that was slaughtered as a baby as I am against that...
So you can ( second guess ) me all you want which is what you are doing ....
BLIND MAN WALKING !!!
Nature did intend for some elephants to die, otherwise the inveronment would suffer from overpopulation, you do realize that, right? The wild is not a happy place...
Prince Charles to William: Yeah, we close but we ain’t THAT close, and don’t you forget it, boy.
Another beautiful insight into bull elephant world. Even in the realm of Asian Bulls, some of the most dominant ones have been the gentlest... and I think this gentleness arises out of supreme self confidence and this is something the alpha human males of the world NEED TO LEARN from these magnificent creatures who never cease to amaze.
It is true for humans too, the kindest men are the strongest men. The strongest men have nothing to prove, it is the weak men that are insecure about their strength and compensate for that by having a massive ego and attacking other men.
🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🦋🦋🦋
Well said no sign of insecurity if any sign stoicism
Men aren’t elephants, there’s zero evidence of “alpha males” or male dominance in early human behavior. “Male dominance” only arises in patriarchal cultures that developed after farming/herding
Prince Charles, William, and umm..... Tim
Any relation to Tim the Enchanter?
Fadhlan Rusdi lol
Tim, no
Tin no está ahi
🤭😂😂😂
It must be a massive rush or being down right terrified to be that close to those magnificent elephants!!!
She is one brave woman sitting so close to those bull elephants.
I love his name. Prince Charles is known for his conservation.
I am wondering how the lady with the cameras can sit there so close to these wild elephants, and neither the elephants nor the lady seem overly concerned about each other's safety or presence?
I think I found the answer on another Smithsonian video. The lady, Caitlan, if that is her name, is in a BUNKER, where she can drop down out of sight if need be, and I guess that the various elephant families that come to drink are used to her.
And, once again, there are shots of Caitlan and the bunker from a distance, indicating that a vehicle and a cameraman are close by. So, once again, the wild animals are used to humans viewing them, and humans and wildlife are at peace with each other (no poachers in sight).
GREAT VIDEOS. Thank You to all involved in the posting of these videos. Roger.
Paid actors.
green screen..
@@rogernamvetokay so there’s a bunker. But how would they know to keep a bunker there? Elephants are pretty nomadic
@@austinbevis4266 My guess would be the water. If its one of best places to drink, then it would make sense to keep a bunker there. Elephants do come back to places they have already been.
Elephants are so freaking amazing and awe-inspiring !!!! I think I missed my calling I would have loved just to be able to watch these beautiful animals at play and at war if I can use that word in conjunction with these great creatures.
LOVE ELEPHANT.
Gosh, I would give anything to sit where she is, so close to all that majestic Beauty. To me those Bulls are the most Beautiful and striking creature on this planet.
I'll agree about the majestic beauty. The elephants weren't bad looking either.
So amazing, so important video! Thank you so much
Of course he mentors other bulls even elephants need a father figure
Definition of "don't try this at home folks". Caitlin reminds me of a girl hanging out in Al Capone's getaway car.
He is too handsome to be Prince Charles...Magnificent Elephant..
Beautiful...amazing
The Elephant Prince Charles, And Prince Charles In England Have Got One Thing In Common.. Both The Elephant Prince Charles And Prince Charles In England Have Got Elephant Ears.
That lady is an actor WOW!
So beautiful gentle giants
No hay que abusar de la tolerancia de estos animales majestuosos..ni darsela de valiente.🤔
Looks like a great documentry. I hope to see it. :o)
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
if only they had named the big male a different name! an animal like that deserves an unsullied name!
Great framing(?) with the *big* boys in the background.
Telephoto lens effect that causes the background objects to appear much closer than they actually are. Another comment notes that she is perched on the edge of a protective bunker if she needs to take cover quickly.
2:26 omg what is that at the back?
birds landing in a tree. when I first saw it I was thinking it was a camera glitch or something haha
I believe that all elephants are born inherently gentle creatures. But some become fed up with being abused.
Until their hormones kick in!
@@stevehove2648 a young male elephant in musth is one of the most dangerous animals on the planet
@@Chucklenutz67 Human males, laughs in genocide.
It’s the other way around really, gentleness and patience is taught, and it’s taught by the older bulls. Without an older male to guide them, young males become violent and difficult
Maybe charles is 3.75 meters in the shoulder
It's good to be the king
Animals have their own personalities
Such good boys!
This ladys good!
are they still alive?
Lo bueno es q ya en muchos lugares les ponen bebederos de agua. Si el ser humano se llena de comodidades, lo mínimo q se puede hacer x la fauna silvestre, cuando menos es ponerles fuentes d agua
That lady being fearful
Well the ears look the Prince Charles. Lol
Caitlin, girl with camera, needs guidance badly. She can easily be crushed in a rumble--and all for what? So she
can take close ups, which can easily be done at a distance with zooms. Brave but very foolish indeed.
Dr Caitlin O'Connell-Rodwell (a woman, not a "girl") of Stanford University has been studying elephants in Etosha NP for over twenty years and is one of the world's leading experts on elephant behavior. She is the author of several scientific and academic books on the subject of elephants, in particular their social structure and communication. So.... I think she probably knows what she's doing and doesn't need "guidance".
@@sinistral9629 Speaking as to her experience, I think that concrete thing she is sitting on is like a shelter where she can drop down and hide, plus there's probably like a camera crew there. She isn't as exposed as she looks, because she's an expert.
@@BlindErephon And she isn't as close as it appears as well. A telephoto lens will cause objects to appear closer than they are.
Amazing language...body languages. I'm educated...
Love love love....🙂🇳🇿
What was that glitch at 2:28 ?
so cute
so cute.
Nice name maybe the size of his ears was the cause of the inspiration.
Big elephant
So is there another bull elephant named tim? This Tim looks smaller and shorter tusks
Lalaruatfela Chhangte I was thinking the same, the bull elephant named Tim is much larger.
Awesome video who cares about the names
This is nothing remember Noah got a pair of them on a small boat where he fed and watered and cleaned up after them for a year or so.
A small boat, really?
How come those wild elephants dont take any notice of the human?
He’s boujee 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Prince Charles has become so gentle he allows this woman by him. Maybe you can explain why he is so gentle to humans?
Tim is basically megans son
Who is the girl on your pic
Evil Morty me
These elephants have been anglicised
But has no crown on his head
I’m surprised how brave that woman is sitting dangerously close to wild elephants. I know she is a scientist and trained to be around them but I still think it’s too close. You also don’t want the elephants to get too comfortable with human because they could start approaching human in the wild which is harmful.
Nice video though. I love watching wildlife.
is it weird that i have a crush on male elephants...
No
Yes
It Depends
Real.
Love his name. ❤
It's ironic they named African elephants after English monarch.
ooook.
POWER BALANCE BETWEEN DIPLOMATGENTLE TRUE4 HUMANS
Must not be in must
He definitely is not showing any signs of being in Musth
looks.
I think prince charles the elephant is king of the elephants just like babar
English names to Elephants are so weird for some reason
I think the name Prince Charles is cool for the elephant...but i wonder how the elephant feels about being named Prince Charles 😁.......
King Charles...now.
Prince Charles....??? eeehw all wrinkled up.... matches the name and title...
I would like to know prince charles' shoulder height
Looks like 8 or 9 feet?
@@Valdesgreen more like 12ft he is atleast 9 short tons.
bull.
How is she so close to wild elephants? Don’t they attack on sight?
No unless the males are in musth or the females have a baby. They only chase away predators.
When They Are In Musth Yes
@@Elephant-Puppet what is that? You seem to know a lot about elephants
@@austinbevis4266 Musth or must (from Persian, lit. 'intoxicated')[1] is a periodic condition in bull (male) elephants characterized by aggressive behavior and accompanied by a large rise in reproductive hormones.
Testosterone levels in an elephant in musth can be on average 60 times greater than in the same elephant at other times (in specific individuals these testosterone levels can even reach as much as 140 times the normal).[2] However, whether this hormonal surge is the sole cause of musth or merely a contributing factor is unknown.
Scientific investigation of musth is problematic because even the most placid elephants become violent toward humans and other elephants during musth
alpha af
Unless the male is is musth or anything attacks them or their young.
ookkk.
Pf
no , they're not. Simple answer
THAT journalist Risk her life for the Prince Charles,..??,.. withing to be stubs by princess Charles,...😘😁😁💖💝,.. heaven help her.
