    Awesome how the guide didn’t even bat an eye. He stayed perfectly calm and let the elephant check him out. When satisfied the elephant simply walked away. Makes me wonder if these two have met in the past.

Wonderfully positive interaction between humans and a wild animal. Congratulations for the calmness of all involved, especially the tracker/guide. Thanks for film and sharing x

      +Laurina Steele I have seen a few of these earlier and wondered to myself as to how this
      could really happen, and have come to realize that all this is some
      power which i will explain as we go on.I think it was this same African
      man whom i saw going on a hunt with three of his friends, they only had a
      spear each and in no other terms they went to hunt for buffalo, into
      the territory of the LIONS, soon they encountered, with a Pride of
      Lionesses, that had brought down a massive Buffalo, this same man left
      his 2 friends behind and walked into the midst of the LIONESSES, who
      just simply, went back 10 spaces, they did not roar at him nor even felt
      agitated by his visit they did this like as though they had known him
      for a very very long time, they basically gave him permission, to take a
      share for himself and his tribe of people, the man cut out a complete
      rear thigh part of the freshly killed Buffalo and moved, as he stood up
      the lionesses acknowledged his going away by a wag of their tails and
      he left the balance for the LIONESSES to finish off.
      This
      Power that i have been talking to you about is the what is actually
      known as the "Power of the JINN", only a very few people in the world
      have this and have relentlessly, no scare against them,nor are they a
      threat to other humans on the contrary they are very helpful people and
      help others all the time.
      So if you one day meet one of these people tell him about what ever the
      problems you may be facing, lots of people meet them to cure themselves
      off a dreaded illness or wanting to know why is it that they have not
      ben successful in their jobs or their business, speak to them and i am
      sure you will certainly find peace within yourself.
      Thank you

I think its disgusting, just as much as u do, but it is what it is, efforts are made to stop them, which is having success, for example theres an international ban on ivory trade, a lot of parks are also hiring local millitia as well as the guides to patrol the park and watch for poachers

    To the people who dont know, the elephant was aggressive and scared at first, you can see its ears are back, but then it lifts its trunk towards the guy, it is a sign of curiosity, its ears extend at the end so it is relaxed and not aggressive anymore because it believes the human isnt a threat.

      +Tiafain I have seen a few of these earlier and wondered to myself as to how this
      could really happen, and have come to realize that all this is some
      power which i will explain as we go on.I think it was this same African
      man whom i saw going on a hunt with three of his friends, they only had a
      spear each and in no other terms they went to hunt for buffalo, into
      the territory of the LIONS, soon they encountered, with a Pride of
      Lionesses, that had brought down a massive Buffalo, this same man left
      his 2 friends behind and walked into the midst of the LIONESSES, who
      just simply, went back 10 spaces, they did not roar at him nor even felt
      agitated by his visit they did this like as though they had known him
      for a very very long time, they basically gave him permission, to take a
      share for himself and his tribe of people, the man cut out a complete
      rear thigh part of the freshly killed Buffalo and moved, as he stood up
      the lionesses acknowledged his going away by a wag of their tails and
      he left the balance for the LIONESSES to finish off.
      This
      Power that i have been talking to you about is the what is actually
      known as the "Power of the JINN", only a very few people in the world
      have this and have relentlessly, no scare against them,nor are they a
      threat to other humans on the contrary they are very helpful people and
      help others all the time.
      So if you one day meet one of these people tell him about what ever the
      problems you may be facing, lots of people meet them to cure themselves
      off a dreaded illness or wanting to know why is it that they have not
      ben successful in their jobs or their business, speak to them and i am
      sure you will certainly find peace within yourself.
      Thank you
      yours respectfully

      @DaniMartVtbr 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Feroze Ghaffoor I know the video you speak of, I have seen it as well. It is a primal truth of our wilder human nature. Modern Man has lost it, forgotten it, has no need for it as they have tamed themselves with eyes glazed over and stomachs rich in fat and mind-altering medications. I realized a hidden clue that most seem to miss in the urban jungle, and that is how domestic dogs behave as their masters. Little Yapper Dogs have no discipline, no calm or reasonable state for which themselves could live by. This is because the heart and mind of their humans is no different, screaming and hyperactive without restraint or discipline of themselves to lead or to command. No good sense resides in many an urban man, no leaders to lead and so no animals could instinctually follow in respect, not even amongst other humans most of the time. That is why The Lion Hunters and The Tourist Guide can sit and walk amongst the most powerful of Predators and Beasts, because they aren't in The Urban Jungle, they're in The Wild Jungle, and so they must be Leaders of all in their space, and so respected by those who can sense this, man and beast alike. This also happens to be why I fear dogs, because I fear their mindless and uncontrollable humans which own that madness, and humans have weapons that no other animals should ever need to possess. {Also, there is a myth/story I once heard as a young child and never forgot about called "The Elephant Kings" of Africa. There was a Tribe/Tribes I'm not sure which, whom would only ever recognize Their King if a Wild Elephant would recognize them first, as sacred and royal kin. It was believed that when Great People Died, their Spirits/Souls would reincarnate as Elephants and Other Great Beasts according to rank, and so hunting them or desecrating their bones was taboo. This way of belief was reinforced greatly by what the Elephants themselves did, for when they were close to death they would go into a Sacred Cave and die there with thousands of others who passed on before them since the cradle of time itself immemorial. Their bones, and their tusks, were one day discovered by Ivory Trade Poachers who began stealing them and selling them on the black market. Naturally this caused many omens and plagues that caused The Tribes great suffering, and quickly led to their end of times as a peoples. The very last of this Tribe was supposedly visited one day by a group of explorers from "The New World", young and naïve as they were, they didn't realize what illegal things were happening until a group of poachers finally attempted to end the life of a Village Elder, who slowly as he was dying of his wounds would not take his last breath so long as the Elephant that recognized him was still drawing breath as well. This last "Great Tusker" was simply the most impressive Bull Elephant ever seen during the final years of their being Elephants in this land, he was as last as the village elder was old. Massive and Powerful, but Very Ancient in Spirit and Wisdom, was so Great this Bull Elephant that every time the Poachers shot and trapped and poisoned him, he'd destroy their vehicles and kill members of the hunting party who couldn't run away fast enough! But the toll of this months-long war was draining and ever-enduring, as more and more young thrill seekers joined the expeditions to hunt this legendary creature, for the fame and glory of its trophy. Finally it came the time to die, and the Elephant having lured the scores of Poachers away from the Sacred Cave for so long, was now due to enter its walls, as the last of his dynasty. Clever and Observant was he, for when it came time, The Elephant approached the Young Explorers in both Dream and Physical Form, and summoned them to learn of his story and of his final tale, as witnesses to his end. He brought them to the cave, and there they learned the history and stories of the Tribes and of The Elephant Kings, drawn on the walls and laid below them in the mounds of bones, where from the depths of the darkness below trumpeted the many calls of the ancestors, rising to meet them in vesper form. It was just then, that the poachers following the footsteps of the Bull Elephant, re-found the well hidden cave, and the final battle ensued there. Using its final burst of might and ancient power, it killed the poachers and thrashed itself upon the walls of the cave, sealing itself forever into the tomb, as both The Village Elder and The Ancient Kings took their final rest forevermore. The Explorers having well-escaped the collapse, swore a vow never to reveal the location of the cave on penalty of curse in the afterlife, but to also tell the story upon their death beds so that in times later a Prophecy may come to pass and be known. It is a Prophecy that one day in the future, that ALL The Elephant Kings Of Africa will exit their ever-watchful slumber to return once again, and revive the African Homeland to its former and ancient Power and Glory, as Great Leaders will be Born and By-Destiny be Found and Brought to Power as Leaders of their many Nations when the World will need them to most! However, before this grand time of awakening and enlightenment will come, very few of The Returning Elephant Kings themselves will appear far and few between as humanity grows and matures in its own wisdom, returning only and individually to guide a path that will one day lead to this greater outcome. It was thought that Nelson Mandela was in unknown secret an Elephant King reincarnated at a time when greatly needed most for not just all of Africa but for the whole world itself to learn such a lesson that was needed. This is also and surprisingly why that Sign-Language Translator who was utterly obsessed with "Seeing Angels" at the funeral, was as because Elephant Ears do after all look a lot like an Angel's Wings!]

      You were pretty quick to judge this man while you know very little of him and only see a very specific part of a greater story. In the same way you seem to be judging the hole of humanity while clearly looking only at one side of things, I'm sorry but this is very narrow minded in my opinion.
      That is not the reality of life though, things can be much more complex than they appear.
