      It didn't have any empathy whatsoever it was clearly showing a display of how dangerous and violent it is that it will even attack them while they eat. It even rubbed itself into their food.

      ​@@dunner079 after watching it again. What make sense to me is elephant scared the lion away and rubbed against the dead body to check if its still able to move or alive. As soon as it realize its too late then it backed off. The bottom line is If elephant is carnivore or seriously wanted to eat meat there is no way these lion can get any of that when elephant comes at u. And no one says elephant is not capable of being aggrssive or violent. They can be peaceful or violent as well and with good reasons for being in the wild. However what u say that is worth thinking about is. Maybe is not empathy maybe is hatred since elephant always sees lion picking on the weak and small. As their young elephant can be targeted so elephant sees lion as enemy. So hatred against lion or empathy. Take your pick. Whatever it is. There are countless other cases and stories showing animals do have signs empthay and emotions. But is it certainly in this case? I cant be 100% but i like to think there is a good chance that it is.

    • @dunner079
      @dunner079 Месяц назад

      @JC.72 I think you just antropomorphising the event and just want to beleive the elephant isncaring for the welfare of another species when in fact this elephant is clearly making a violent charge towards the lions as a sheer display of domination. You just want to humanise animals so you can feel better.

    • @dunner079
      @dunner079 Месяц назад

      @JC.72 The bit abkut the young elephant that you mentioned is true for sure. This is correct. The rest about humanised animal welfare and the elephants wanting us all to be children of the universe to make you feel better is a well meaning fantasy. But a fantasy nonetheless.

      Wrong, Lions are the top predators in the world after humans, remember we don't wanna debate about one on one strength, what we should consider is who is the prey and who is the predator.
      Lions often hunt elephants, not necessarily full sized ones but there have been instances.
      No animal hunts lions except for humans.

  • @EldonKing
    @EldonKing 3 года назад +38

    Elephants do have empathy for other animals but I think the reason why she did that to the buffalo is to make the lions be aware that they shouldn't mess with her and their herd. She's too brave to make a warning, truely a queen💚

    Elephant: the general
    Other elephants: the adjutants
    Lions: army privates caught eating while on duty

    The baby elephant is in mortal danger that's why they are so nervous. Although there is a pride of lions that specialize in hunting elephants even grown elephants the grown ones really have nothing to fear.

    I love how she walked backwards instead of turning around just in case the lions try to sneak attack.

    Did good willed humans remove her tusks so she wouldn't be killed? Really sad that the older and wiser elephants probably have the best tusks.

    Elephants are know to hunt down lions. They are the only predators that have killed their calves. If it’s a mother with cubs alone, the risk is even bigger as the cubs are easy targets and the no they can not stop 6-8 tons of an angry beast.
