Weight, edit: not necessarily weight, That truck is around 3.5 to 4 tons the weight elephants can lift. Well part of that, they wouldn’t be able to lift a whole 4 tons on them. it puts significant strain on their tusks, reason why it didn’t continue flipping it, elephant tusks and muscles are not made for lifting more than that, they are more for pushing.
@@Kostaki312 Lol no, elephants may travel through the desert when necessary, but they 1000% prefer the jungle and places near rivers where they have a close water source.
It was a warning . The elephant's attack was its way of CV telling them to get out and take your stupid people with you. My horses did the same thing during hunting season. They attacked trespassers with a vengence. Great watchdogs they were.
Yep. While elephants are matriarchal in nature, most troops that are headed by females, there is usually a male bull that roams around the area. Sometimes these bulls are connected to the troop staying on the outside of the groups. Living a more solitary life. But if someone happens to come by in a truck and you run across a herd it's best to take caution because there might be a male nearby watching. And since it's his territory you can end up on the wrong end of a bull's territorial aggression.
And with little more than just his neck muscles; that elephants lifted a couple tons about 5 feet off the ground. The strength on display is truly amazing.
Some strength, a lot of weight and leverage too. Elephants seem to have a very good intuitive perception of leverage to put their weight against the right spot that will make something tip instead of break. One reason among several to respect their intelligence as non trivial.
That is a stupid question to ask🙄. They'll investigate the people tour guide, what happened because these animals should not be bothered abd they r told the distance they r supposed to be from the animals

Oh yes, an adult male elephant has incredible strength. If it was a small vehicle like a small car or suv, an elephant could lift the entire thing into the air no problem.
@@domkraggp9944 *"That must be 2000 kg + worth of car..."* The truck (with the people inside) weighs perhaps twice that, but the weight that the elephant is actually lifting is probably what you guessed.

It's funny but accurate. Young male elephants are known to be aggressive. But they're usually still quite unsure of themselves and tend to hesitate when they try to display dominance. So "punk" is a pretty accurate description. 😂
Elephants are clearly a new thing to you. Or you previously were only aware of the fragile weak elephants that work in bars in Yonkers to fund a liqor habbit.

@@afrodemon8629 oh apologies, please don’t let that part distract you from the main point. ( keep a safe distance for elephants have the strength to hurt you in the vehicle with very little effort).😄
Oh no, they’re *a lot* worse in mating season. Testosterone levels would be beyond the roof, temporal glands swelling and running, and they’d be very irritable and aggressive towards anything that moves. Two hormonally aroused bulls can wage vicious battles for the right to mate, even to the death..
I'm from South Africa and my daughter and I just got back yesterday from a week-long vacation in Zambia celebrating my 46th birthday. I want a refund from the safari I took in Zambia because none of the 26 elephants we saw put on a show like this. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂 you too!!!. I got like a ten minute video of a whole herd walking around the truck i was in as they came out the bushes and only the babies stopped to look at us. The rest didnt even bother to bump the truck. 😂😂😂😂
Had some good conversations with rangers when in parks in South africa. Punk is harsh word. They have the size to be a bully and have the arrogance but that's it.
Everyone in the vehicle is lucky all they got were brown stains in their pants. “he’s more bark then bite” I guess we all have different interpretations of what those two words mean in an analogy. Lol
Also the same dude that said the driver should have stood his ground. What was the driver going to do, get out of the truck, slap the elephant with a glove and challenge him to a duel? I question that guy's expertise.
How would you like people CONSTANTLY walking in front of your windows, looking in, commenting, & taking photos? This is called RESISTANCE not attacking!
What helps save these beautiful animals is awareness, often from the photos and exposure to them in the wilds. This behavior is also no surprise to those who know elephants. Of course all precautions to avoid injury or death should be taken. It looks like the open vehicles used so often are not that safe. Long live each and every ellie!
You don't have trees around your house? My trees are full of birds and squirrels doing just that... I really want to know where they got their cameras and what in the world they're saying about me.
When I was like 8 yo, I witnessed how angry an elephant could get. I was at the National Zoo in DC, and an elephant threw a boulder over the cage and could have killed one of us. They are great creatures, just don't piss them off.
Watch the entire video. Before this, the 🐘 moved off & was eating. The driver sat for a minute or so w/car off almost to watch⁉️Then the 🚛 approached him AGAIN a 2nd time & this happened. Video is on Kruger (Park) Latest Sightings channel.
If making a lot of noise is what to do, then why didn't he lean on the horn? I love these normally gentle, intelligent giants. Surely, we can enjoy them from a distance and not provolke them with tourist trucks.

The elephant doesn't even look like he's trying. Quick tap, then just stands there... menacingly! 🚌🗿
The elephant was doing his job giving tourists the ultimate experience.
Something to remember him by?
What investigation??? The elephant was pissed off Case closed. lol
This time the President himself heads the commission of enquiry and it's called the Ramaphosa Commission
Tourists: come closer for a picture!
Elephant: picture your own demise!
This man calling the elephant a punk is hilarious! Let's see him stand in front of the elephant then....
He is the Miami Zoo Director
@@moonlover8916more bark than bite okay stand infront that elephant without a gun and see who’s the punk
He's not calling the elephant a punk... those elephants (young males) that have been ousted from the herd are known as punks (informal zoological term) because of their quick temperament changes to cause mayhem.
@moonlover8916 he's the what now?!
@@harrysingh2874that is racist.
Thats why elephants scare me the most.They survived only because he lost interest but he could have done more.people have been squished to death in their vehicles. Its best to appreciate their majestic beauty from a distance
@@afrodemon8629 oh apologies, please don’t let that part distract you from the main point. ( keep a safe distance for elephants have the strength to hurt you in the vehicle with very little effort).😄
@@afrodemon8629 I’m glad. But you know what….. Everytime I drive through a National park, I would rather encounter a lion than an elephant hehe
How Strong Elephants Are!😨🥰
The strength of these huge animals is amazing
And that wasn’t even a Big male. He was average sized.

Probably the bus is disturbing mating season, or feels like a danger to the young ones, rest of the herd.
Oh no, they’re *a lot* worse in mating season. Testosterone levels would be beyond the roof, temporal glands swelling and running, and they’d be very irritable and aggressive towards anything that moves. Two hormonally aroused bulls can wage vicious battles for the right to mate, even to the death..
She's home alone and they're blocking his way
Ya think?
That wasn't an elephant attack!
They just got a friendly "dab" from the curious local. An elephant attack is a full-on charge...
I'm from South Africa and my daughter and I just got back yesterday from a week-long vacation in Zambia celebrating my 46th birthday. I want a refund from the safari I took in Zambia because none of the 26 elephants we saw put on a show like this. 😂
im wondering if you would be saying that if you had been sitting the that truck, and yes I know you making a joke
Totally agree with you 😂😂 Maybe the Zambia elephants have less punk.
😂😂😂😂😂 you too!!!. I got like a ten minute video of a whole herd walking around the truck i was in as they came out the bushes and only the babies stopped to look at us. The rest didnt even bother to bump the truck. 😂😂😂😂
Show the while video. I bet the truck got waaay to close
And they say lion is the king!
Dude IT'S THE ELEPHANT 🐘 👑
God Save The King
Driver: Now we call these elephants punks
Elephant:
😂😂
Had some good conversations with rangers when in parks in South africa.
Punk is harsh word. They have the size to be a bully and have the arrogance but that's it.
😂😂😂 whatever U r smoking 😂😂😂 Ur funny
00:40 Elephant: “Whilst lifting the vehicle off the ground, I noticed that your hand was slapping against the door. 😯 I’ll stop now.”
Best comment 😂
no, it was boredom
Elephants are freaking strong. They can push and lift heavy objects like automobiles like nothing.
What do you mean more bark than bite?! My man just lifted a goddman truck!
Everyone in the vehicle is lucky all they got were brown stains in their pants. “he’s more bark then bite” I guess we all have different interpretations of what those two words mean in an analogy. Lol
Mock charges/warnings referred to as "bark", whereas "bite" would be totalling the truck
Also the same dude that said the driver should have stood his ground. What was the driver going to do, get out of the truck, slap the elephant with a glove and challenge him to a duel?
I question that guy's expertise.
@maltheri9833I can only hope! 🤞
The strenght of this animals are crazy!
You might call them punks, but in South Africa they are called Sir.
Their arrogance is unreal 😏
How would you like people CONSTANTLY walking in front of your windows, looking in, commenting, & taking photos? This is called RESISTANCE not attacking!
I see no windows, they're out I the wild and we're all animals :P
What helps save these beautiful animals is awareness, often from the photos and exposure to them in the wilds. This behavior is also no surprise to those who know elephants. Of course all precautions to avoid injury or death should be taken. It looks like the open vehicles used so often are not that safe. Long live each and every ellie!
I'm sure princess Kate is use to it.
You don't have trees around your house? My trees are full of birds and squirrels doing just that... I really want to know where they got their cameras and what in the world they're saying about me.
Don't annoy an elephant. Elephants always have the right of way!!! Ron Magill, the "expert" sounds like a punk to me.
Agreed! He has a trophy skull on his wall.
When I was like 8 yo, I witnessed how angry an elephant could get. I was at the National Zoo in DC, and an elephant threw a boulder over the cage and could have killed one of us. They are great creatures, just don't piss them off.
I love how that one guy yells
Watch the entire video. Before this, the 🐘 moved off & was eating. The driver sat for a minute or so w/car off almost to watch⁉️Then the 🚛 approached him AGAIN a 2nd time & this happened.
Video is on Kruger (Park) Latest Sightings channel.
And the reason for an investigation.
Wow. The strength of that animal is insane.
Elephant: GET OFF MY LAWN!
probably got too close, they forget these are wild animals not pets!!
Man, he's deadlifting that like it's nothing. I wonder what his max is!
😂😂😂
Homeboy's head bounced out the sun roof. Wear your seatbelts kids.
Leave wild animals alone!
If making a lot of noise is what to do, then why didn't he lean on the horn?
I love these normally gentle, intelligent giants. Surely, we can enjoy them from a distance and not provolke them with tourist trucks.
"Yes, we were very scared for the people in the truck. We thought they might... dieeee." That delivery lol
