The Elephant That Hated Humanity | The Rogue Elephant of Aberdare Forest | History in the Dark

In the 1940's, a particularly aggressive rogue elephant would appear in British East Africa. This elephant would go on a rampage that lasted months, destroying villages and killing an unknown amount of people. He was eventually brought down by big game hunter J. A. Hunter, but in the end it was revealed that the elephant had not been the villain at all. He had good reason to hate people.

The elephant was paraphrasing the orcas: “Eff them villagers.”

[@user-kr9jq7yz5o]

Two words that are terrifying together are Rogue. Elephant

[@RandomTrinidadian]

I know 2 more
Giant Spider

[@TimOGhoul]

Less scary than “privilege loaf.”

[@DrRacer78]

You should do a video on JA Hunter himself.

[@TheRailroadOwnedCombine]

It is possible that certain species of dinosaurs are not extinct, so the elephant may not be the largest terrestrial animal.

[@johnvan6082]

i doubt about dinosaurs still being around , but then , I'm a tried and true Bigfoot / Sasquatch believer .
Keep on dreaming . 😊

[@RandomTrinidadian]

The Punisher had zero chill

[@srajfnly2]

Well done Darkness

[@thecatwrangler9448]

Normal elephant thangs. My god I love the train man

[@saltbombcreations8336]

This takes Elephant Green Screen Effect to a whole other level

[@MatthewLee-fo3me]

You should do the Champawat Tiger or Gustav the Crocodile next.

[@tommcglone2867]

Gustav was a menace

[@saltbombcreations8336]

He already did the Champawat Tiger, so yeah he should do Gustav next

[@abyssminiaturestudios6103]

Should do a video on Gustav the Man eater, a 30- 50 foot crocodile in the Congo.

[@heikkijhautanen4576]

an elephant you can respect!!!

[@glyptodon_ch]

So elephant incels are just like human incels
