I live in Botswana, Africa and we have the largest elephant population in the world. Elephants walk through my father's farm atleast once every year and they literally take down ANYthing in their path😂 no fence, tree or water tank is safe. But we cant complain because its their land, they're the boss😅

Paul Rosolie's dedication to protecting the Amazon rainforest is truly inspiring. We need more heroes like him to safeguard our planet for future generations.

saw them in the wild before, they are MASSIVE. african elephants are no joke. when we got near, you saw them gently form a circle around the young, and then one BIG elephant stood guard and kept watching our tour car. basically letting us know if we got too close, it was going to toss the car. gentle giants tho. they didnt make any sound and it was just a warning.

I’ve never seen anyone so dedicated to there crafts like these 2. Lex having a podcast in the Amazon and Paul for his love for the Amazon. This is one of my favorite podcast episodes ever.

Lex is cookin’ in that suit 😅

I was lucky enough to spend a few hours with a week-old baby African elephant (male) at the Oakland zoo in the early 90s. My GF was a volunteer there at the time and friends with the elephant curator. I've never felt so 'seen' by an animal before. He might as well have been a human baby. He was about 250 pounds, his skin felt like velvet, and I swear he smelled like baby powder. His mother was in the next room with her best friend and very freaked out because she didn't know she was pregnant when she gave birth, which was why little Kijana was being hand raised. Elephants need to be raised by their mothers in order to understand what birth/babies even means. It's not instinctive, much like us. When you look in the eyes of these beings, you are absolutely being regarded with enormous intelligence and understanding. Paul is right, this is a wholly separate society that deserves all the respect awarded to humans. Unfortunately, we can't even award that respect to many of our own. If we bite the dust as a species, elephants deserve the next crack at hegemony. They are true stewards of the planet.

I have been compulsively watching Paul Rosalie on Lex and others and the reason I can do that although a lot of it is completely heart breaking to me , is his positive attitude how he presents his stories, he still has hope .

I thought I was the only one to have this perception of elephants, My first experience with elephants in the wild was exactly how this guy explains it, it was mesmerizing, they are so majestic, wise, and extremely intelligent, it’s as if they possess ancient wisdom of all species on earth including humans.

Like horses, I think elephants can hear the heartbeat of a fetus.

Lex, You're killing me with the Sport Coat &Tie...

Are we gonna gloss over the fact that Lex is still wearing a suit in the jungle??

🐘 for me on land are probably the MOST badass species you can get for a multitude of reasons! They possess the ability to act beyond the natural animal instinct and can show a human like element of behaviour that MOST other animals can't show, especially to that level.

We are animals. Our technology only reflects more complex problem solving: including language.

I remember seeing an elephant at the Zoo mid 90's. The elephant had a tiny space to move around. That was in Connecticut. So sad.

The coolest thing to watch is an elephant swimming.

I read that they think we're cuddly similar to how humans see puppies.

The more I learn about elephants, the more I love them.

I wanna learn more this is cool stories lex

they're direct descendants of whales

I want someone to love me the way this man loves elephants.

One day, when we are surrounded by only buildings and technology, we will understand how magnificent nature was.

So interesting 💪🏽🐘

I drive into the center of absolute Southern New Hampshire today. The town of my youth. Mason. Arriving at 12 noon in fog and overcast of the pedigree New England Summer onset argument of heat vs. the latent humidity that Spring should have solved. With no Spring, the heat and humidity combine to an unnatural hybrid of the 1st and 2nd season welding together. With a proper cycle of New England weather, the dry of Summer sun lighting, happens post the Spring thaw and reformation. Anyone over 33 years around the universe can recall dry New England Summers. To not be overtaken with the sultry August, that fades into Autumn. August comes to interrupt June, not good for the ancient story of order.

This is my kind of title 😂

There is no proof of elephants. Once someone has actually seen an elephant and we have some data I’ll consider elephants. Until then I remain skeptical.

Bro this whole episode with Paul in the jungle is DOPE as FU*K bro ! ❤️💯☑️✅🎯🏆🍾🔥💪👊🏼

I always wonder if elephants are smarter than humans. I think they are telepathic amongst other phenomenon they carry

Lex learning from Rogan’s KZfaq Titles hahaha

These mfs just in the rainforest? 💀

similarly, i wonder for Tiger, why god had to create such a powerful beat, and what was the purpose of this overkill.

I kinda agree with this guy....

Lex we would forgive you if you lost the suit for this one episode lol

Ganesh ji.🙏

This is one of the reasons I love you white guys, you sort of know how to integrate with nature in such respectful way. I mean having to understand uniquely that we are all star dust and possess similar value wether animal or not, even though the value may vary.

Animals are truth. Far away from Good and Evil

There is an elephant headed god in hinduism which represents wisdom and remover of obstacles. Elephants are so underrated.

I used to ride them lol

I love elephants

Its true my two year old knows elephants

I honestly believe that if humans hadn't have evolved to be the dominant species on this plant, Elephants wpukd have filled that space. They're so intelligent it's hard to see their evolutionary path going anywhere else.

Here's the thing about Proboscidea. We haven't just been living around them, and they didn't "guide" us along our evolutionary path. We ate Proboscidea, mostly elephants, mammoth and Mastadons. We grew big brains because we had to outsmart the smartest animals on earth. The nutrition in an elephant is so good, it grows big brains....quickly....

That's what elephants say about humans though

sounds like ya’ll peckawoods talkin bout Ganapati … joe rogan had him in a studio for a while…

That’s a bad story for an elephant 😆

Sura Fil ۝ Have you not seen [O Prophet] how your Lord dealt with the army of the Elephant? ۝ Did he not frustrate their scheme? ۝ For he sent against them flocks of birds, ۝ that pelted them with stones of baked clay; ۝ leaving them like chewed up straw

Wow, elephants are just like some humans! They kill others that aren't like them just because they're annoyed.

Lex looks like he is going to pass out

Whales Dolphins Rhino Hippo Many exotic birds You get this vibe that they are as aware, if not more, about why this is all happening. Wolf Bear The great cats Then we consider monkeys, orangutan, the Gorilla’s are closer to the deep intelligence above.

❤

Major simp energy from this one

This guy needs to watch some ssm and get red pilled if he's saying that the wife has the final say 😂😂

El ephants. El

I’m mot sure if this guy is a little woke or thinks misrepresenting elephants to be this species of female superiority will help his career. While the large herds of elephants are led by a female, usually the oldest and strongest physically/socially, it isn’t really a conscious choice or because the females are wiser. The males are taller and MUCH bigger, but when they reach their teens they tend to become very adventurous and aggressive l, similar to human males. Elephants often form groups with their sisters and then their children, making it more a familial relationship than hierarchical one. Sometimes the males will be shooed away if they are being too chaotic, but most of the time the males wander off by choice to go it alone or usually form groups with other young males. This is likely because these herds would become severely imbred if males did not leave. The males aren’t exactly kicked out of the group as many will tell you, in fact they often go back to visit their mothers and herd on a regular basis. There is this narrative that elephants are a matriarchal society but it’s not really the case, despite the fact many choose to view it as such. They aren’t patriarchal either, rather teen and adult males and females have distinct ways of living. The females live in groups of females and children, usually all related and led by the older, wiser female while the teen and adult males live in groups of friends, usually led by an older, wiser male. These groups will still interact but the general rule is they travel in these distinct groupings. If an older male group leader has a disagreement with an older female group leader, the female won’t be respected because of her status as a matriarch. Elephants are very social creatures that just have distinct gender roles, and while males are much larger and stronger as usual, they don’t interact too much outside of mating. It’s still quite unique and fascinating, I don’t understand the point in claiming they are a matriarchal species though. For what, to get girls excited about elephants? A woman who would only be interested in elephants just because she was told they lived in a matriarchal society would be just as pathetic as a guy who was only interested in Gorillas because they had a patriarchal one. Stop anthropomorphizing animals to fit sociopolitical talking points.

Woman more emotionally intelligent? that was a good one lo😅😅l

Is this guy trolling?

Bro is just yapping

I call bullshit on the pregnant story

Earth never created elephants God did, it sucks that you lack God in these conversations

Lex is such a tool

Well that was corny.. elephants elephants elephants... pffttt

Alright we get it, you like elephants.

Who treats elephants like oversized cows? People I know are completely fascinated by elephants and how powerful and intelligent they are. No room for straw man arguments around here mah dude.

Read the quran and see what it says about the elephants ...

Lying....

No… they aren’t…..

How can you compare an elephant to an alien when you’ve never actually met a real alien? Lol 😂

2 minutes in... this guy is unbearable.
