I was ! And hoping there wasn't chlorine in that pool / fountain. I was really waiting for it. Funniest Home Videos !!!

Same 😂😂😂

That would have been hilarious!

Yup

Ofcourse I was😂😂😂

I think i heard one of the people say “lets go” and the driver said No”, but yeah that bothered me that the elephant was clear - get out of here !

@@phoenixrobinson4804 agree they should leave them alone. However at that point, if they had left, the elephant would have seen it as a sign of weakness and most probably charge attack the tourists. He HAD to stand his ground for their safety.

They need to stop safaris. These animals need to be left along and live without being threatened. They're a l ready taking up all the land these animals live on and having to be forced to interact with people. These people are taking a risk being so close to these animals and risking the lives of the animals if they come to close. These elephants need to knock those cameras out of their hands.

I know I’m a douchebag but poachers need to be dead

@@bobcatbigpaws5597 safaris bring in huge money. That money then should go to conservation efforts and help pay people to defend elephants and other animals from poachers

100%!

Yes, well said !

Yes the most WONDERFUL CREATURE ANYONE WHO HURTS OR KILLS WILL PAY LATER

He is also a professional who knows elephant behaviour - the difference between a mock charge and a real one. If you go walking in the bush always good to have a pro with you.

@@michaelgoetze2103 even knowing their behavior, 5 tonnes bearing down on you could be just a bit daunting lol

@@melodiefrances3898 Especially the first time. But with most things in life things get easier with knowledge, training and experience.

the original is a bit longer. You can see the elephant walking away and the guy turns around grinning😄

@ 3:58 All the girls in the back are trying to ignore the puddle under their seat and who caused it! :-)

It was letting everybody know that it was a strong individual. And not to b messed with . Most animals will give the same type of warning. You misread it at your peril .

It's called a bluff charge for a reason.

Well being a professional he's probably dealt with it alot

@RamsetBolton...I know what you mean, although I feel a little guilty, recognizing it from the safety of my recliner on a smartphone screen.... That guy isn't so brave...I've seen braver...

Not surprised i see basketball players do it too

I'm not an expert at ALL but it's not too surprising. Most animals (even our soft asses) are in control of their moments, even at full speed. Plus they're incredibly strong and smart so I'm not surprised that their so coordinated. Kinda badass honestly.

Have you seen the size of their feet? Some decent brake pads there.

Yes, the matriarch is the leader the protector. Earned her right to challenge. They are just Beautiful

Exactly what I thought.. Here comes the matriarch to check him out. The eye contact etc so amazing! Hear stopping as well ... So worth it for that guy.. My only experience near these my favorite and such intelligent animals was only at 2 circuses when I was a child, and it made me sad... But curious about them. Love love Elephants ❤

I actually perceived it as genuine curiosity from the elephant and didn't think the elephant felt threatened or was bolstering at all.

Who, mankind is who?

Love of money and slavery

Donald Trump's sons are known for slaughtering game in Africa.

I'll tell you who...Trumps ignorant son, that's WHO. All you people out there ...DON'T vote for that s.o.b. he's unfit. The very thought of not stopping his son from shooting these majestic creatures is unfathomable. What goes around comes around they say.

Not who, what. He's correct^

Indeed. ❤ I'm glad that beautiful elephant survived that dangerous encounter. 🙏🏾

😂😂😂

That lion was after her baby.

You mean the elephants being nice to people right?

They know we are nothing compared to them They know we are weak so they show compasion, but if you insist to annoy them, then sadly they have no more option than.... well... dispatch you

Finally!

@@scottymackay1801 you're simply built different

@@scottymackay1801 Casual everyday run isn't the same as the run to save your life ! In panic mode, you would mostly tumble and Not have good balance and fall !

Elephants - especially African Elephants - evolved alongside Humans for over 2 million years. For all that time, Humans had been developing strategies to hunt animals Elephants for food. But 2 million years is a long time - long enough for other African animals to develop behaviors to help them survive alongside humans. For Elephants, the primary behavior is to try and scare humans away. In reality, they are in fact more scared of you. They do the same with other predators, like lions.

@@4orks976 That's literally us with mountain lions and black bears. We're fucked if they go after us but if we act like maniacs around them they take off despite their advantage.

She’s been on the planet for decades. An old matriarch, with knowledge and wisdom. Isn’t she amazing?

You could fo to Tanzania and use a reputable outfitter. Their guides and drivers are trained at a special college for wildlife preservation. The vegetation is less where a herd will be taken by surprise you are there so they tend to just cross and ignore you and the drivers know when to keep distance.

I get what you’re saying, but we can’t go out of our way to see these animals in the wild? Are we no longer supposed to witness them in their habitat?

Let them be .... the way they r naturally

Not going to lie, but the footage looks fake

@@dyingoldman2312 no it's not Come and Visit Kruger National Park in South Africa and experience it for yourself 😆

@@dyingoldman2312 that's not fake one that elephant is an asian elphant because of their twin-domed head with an indent in the middle while the african elephant have more rounded head, only single dome.

@@virginiafry9854 it depends on if you're harassing them or not or if they perceive it that way, after all ppl hunt elephants.

@@virginiafry9854wrong, he is an expert, he knows the elephant was doing a mock charge, if the elephants ears were back and it bolted at him, he would of ran, because that means the elephant has intent to injure and not just intimidate.

They sure are massive

they were amazed by the ginger, lol

@@rsoubiea no the stupid ginger looked at his offspring, you should never look at their infants that's provocation

Can you imagine a matriarch looking you dead in the eye and allowing you to be near her family?

He was visibly shaking

and you want enjoy watching them

Because, 1. Humans have the same right to be there as the elephants. This might shock you but humans are part of nature too. 2. Humans visiting there protect the elephants from poachers. 4. Do you live in a building? What was on the building site before it was built? 4. You need to get out of the city more.

What are you saying that in a herd of elephants there are individual sociopaths and psychopaths, introverts and extroverts, passive and aggressive personalities... like human, are you serious?

@@MrDXRamirez just a young bull 5/7 years old, they are known for charging fake or not.

hope you meet one soon as you said

dont get too excited, souteast asia is known for people trapping and keepin elephants. they make them work like farming or pulling logs. they sell them or turn them into an attraction for tourists. they charge people and let them feed em or ride them. most the time they chain their 2 front legs together and chain them to a tree. like a 6 feet of chain. its really sad and fuked up

At least he came forward and admitted that what he did was wrong. There is not much more he can do, unless you think he has magical powers to bring back the elephants he killed. Time for you PETA freaks to come back to reality, you cannot undo the past!

@@trendmassacre8423 - I’m far from a PETA freak. I am pointing out that “scientific consensus” is not infallible and guiding public policy by using “the science is settled” is prone to huge misdirection that cannot be undone. Can you think of anything today where public policy is being guided by questionable “scientific consensus”? Like….(cough,cough)COVID. Or (cough, cough) Gerbil Worming.

I'm quite sure the elephants passed this knowledge on to their descendants. They don't forget.

Unimaginable ly cruel
