So people shouldn't be allowed to travel or experience the outdoors because this elephant "owns" this territory? Get real. No one species owns any piece of land. Its all about responsible, respectful, and doing no harm.

Not a tantrum. You got a good show, but that young bull elephant was clearly feeling threatened by the presence of your vehicle in his territory. An older elephant would probably have charged.
I would feel very uncomfortable being a tourist knowing that any elephant would be threatened or agitated in any way! Clearly this bull, I believe was very threatened! Especially the sensitivity of “wild elephants “ 😔
He seems to have recently left the heard he grew up with and finding his way on his own. Kind of sad to see him all alone, acting out and confused. Though that’s the way of life for a bull elephant. Wish they would have given him a little more space in the end.
The young elephant appears to be in distress rather than having a tantrum. It is alone so was probably looking for his family. How come he was not helped at all.
We were just there to observe and not interfere. Let nature take its course. The guide told us this is normal behavior for teenage elephants. Kind of like humans. I’m not an elephant behavior expert. This is just what we were told
@@jamesmorrison2055 One's 'private home' is the space in which one lives, regardless of whether it has walls and a roof. Have you never heard the expression 'x environment is the home of y animals'?!

@@trueaussie9230 So if we're going by your logic, anytime one steps outside, they're "invading the privacy" of some sort of animal, right?

Elephant bulls do not leave the herd at 6 yoa - too young. When bulls become too rambunctious at about age 14 yoa, they are chased out of the herd by the matriarch and will more than likely join a bachelor herd. When elephants are annoyed, upset and/or angry, they stick their tails out straight and of course, act cheeky like this young bull did. He wanted to let the “animal” (I.e., vehicle) know who was in charge. I’ve been to the Africa bush many times and elephant behavior never disappoints.
Adult male elephants are very solitary animals. The elephant herds are where the females and calves stay together. Males only come around for mating season.
Several animals in this video, all seem agitated. Baboon, Springbok, and the elephant. There may have been something in the area, other than the tourists, disturbing them.
Y tan hermosos que son estos Elefantes ❤️🐘😍. Pensar que la gente en esas tierras ya no los cuida ni protege ,al contrario les hace daño ☹️👎. No se dan cuenta de la clase de animales que son y que existen aún ,son unos animales hermosos tan inteligentes .y que no son cualquier animal .
I would designate that behaviour as interesting rather than a "tantrum". the elephant is a male so this kind of somewhat erratic behaviour is expected.
And yall following it? Leave the nigga alone...when you see that shaking the head and shaking the trunk it's time to leave because that is sign of a pissed off..upset elephant
Not tantrums. Elephants like to chase the Impalas like a game of tag. They are herbivores, so they don't hurt them. The Elephants in the Jabulani Herd in South Africa chase the Impalas all the time in fun, from the oldest elephant on down to the infants. This is this first time I've seen them chase Baboons? But it looked like they were just playing with them as well. Neither animal is a threat to the elephants.
They are, but this is no baby. This boy is maybe 10-13 years old -- look at those tusks. He may have been recently run out of the family herd. Only the female calves are allowed to stay with the herd.
@@womanofsubstance8735 Yes, now I realized about the tusks. Thanks for the information. ... but I guess, that it's very sad that the males must run out of the herd.

I'm waiting for animal to take over the world, let's see if we like being in a cage and being stared at for hours.

The Elephant doesnt want you being in his territory. It is very simple to understand.
1000% correct. How would humans feel if hoards of strangers (or animals) invaded our own backyards anytime they want? Same difference.

Why are they chasing him? He is trying to get away. What is there problem?
I'm assuming you didn't catch the fact that there is only one road and they had no choice but go in that direction?

@@4koloheboyz you should have called his mommy who just kicked him out of the herd - what next - should have helped him?
Helped how? It was responding to a sound or smell. The truck was not it's main interest. It probably smelled lions.
If I come into your private home and just sit there staring at you, follow you wherever you go and video your every move, how will you react?
Elephants don't have private homes.
Your point is null and void when you consider the fact that elephants are nomadic creatures devoid of "private homes."

I’m not an elephant behavioral scientist, but our guide said the same thing.

At 6 years they are still very much protected by their herd, still at toddler stage. 😊
Too young to be a bull for his herd, he needs to be pushed out and go with other bulls to learn to be a gentleman
I think he is having his first musth, and now thinks he is some hot stuff! 🤣🤣😅😅
I love Elephant so much May God bless these beautiful innocent animals 🐘❤️🙏
Trying to get away from the car shield guy trying to sell him an extended warranty.
Могли бы уже догадаться,что вторглись в его территорию и уехать. Нет,стоят и напрягают,хозяева жизни
Poor guy on his own. Is he old enough to leave the herd? Looks young to me but what do I know I’m no elephant professional.
He needs a herd. He must be very lonely since they are sociable animals that need family.
GrandmaChelle23 I think male elephants often stay by themselves going from herd to herd when mating?
Adult male elephants are very solitary animals. The elephant herds are where the females and calves stay together. Males only come around for mating season.
plot twist: he's trying to poop in peace and everyone keeps chasing him
Moral : Elephants never forget

I don’t think the elephant liked having his territory invaded by antelopes, baboons and humans.
Why are people allowed to annoy these animals ? How would you feel if a group of strangers rolled up on your front lawn and parked there ?
He doesn't appreciate you being in his space.
