Wild Bull Elephant in Musth, Khao Yai National Park, Thailand. Part2

- A stand off between rangers and a Bull Elephant in Musth as he is determined to break into a restaurant kitchen area at Khao Yai National Park.
This ongoing game of block and run went on for several hours with the Elephant determined not to return to the forest until he was ready. Full marks to the shepherding ranger in the blocking vehicle, interesting job!
Musth or must /ˈmʌst/ (Urdu: مست) is a periodic condition in bull (male) elephants, characterized by highly aggressive behavior and accompanied by a large rise in reproductive hormones. Testosterone levels in an elephant in musth can be as much as 60 times greater than in the same elephant at other times. However, whether this hormonal surge is the sole cause of musth, or merely a contributing factor, is unknown. Scientific investigation of musth is problematic because even the most placid elephants become highly violent toward humans and other elephants during musth.
I think he was pretty restrained really.

I love all the "expert opinions". This is a wild elephant. He's free to roam where he pleases. Today he wanders in the town. This elephant is in musth. His temple glands are weeping musth oil and he dribbles urine constantly. Elephants aren't generally "psycho" in musth. As they get older the severity of the symptoms decrease. This tusker could smell food and was looking for an easy snack. He wasn't acting aggressively. The park rangers work with these elephants daily. They know each one and their personalities. The 🐘🐘🐘 also trust and respect the rangers. Here the rangers use their vehicle to guide this tusker back towards the forest. Nobody was hurt and minimal damage done. Just another day living amongst wild elephants.
Actually, Elephants are extremely irritable and dangerous during Musth
.
@@CreatorsHubCreates that's what he actually explain in the comment. as the elephant get older elephant become less irritable, less aggressive and less dangerous, and thankfully in this case, the elephant one of the older one, at least enough for it to not be so dangerous and destructive.
I was just gonna say that jeep needs new belts, but I'm no expert.
Yeah. And being in musth doesn't automatically mean that he's angry or upset. This elephant in fact was very happy. Look at 0:35 at the big smile on his face, and again at 1:05, this elephant was really enjoying himself with what he was doing
For the first time, watching a Musth elephant who is being calm n maintaining decorum
Is the kitchen open yet??? I MUSTH eat!!!!
bruh
O No
🤣🤣
Lovely magnificent calm old elephant. He's probably well known to the rangers and it to their jeeps. He smelt something in that kitchen that's for sure! In Africa you get these big big old bulls too that are pretty gentle. That's not to say you can go up to one and pat it on the leg but they are far more relaxed about life in general in or out of musth.
I saw him a couple of weeks ago on a visit to Khao Yai. He has a pretty impressive little caravan of dedicated press cameras and fans. When ever he appears near the roads so do they. Some sit in their trucks at a certain junction under large trees all day, making coffee and chatting just to catch a glimpse and the opportunity to take his picture. He is utterly magnificent. We saw him at night when everyone was outside the park as we were staying inside the park. Huge glistening black and wet from the light rain, ripping large mouthfuls of lush grass as he went. The sound of him eating was the only sound you could hear. We were staying inside the park so had him all to ourselves. He was moving slowly along the road enjoying the grass next to it. A very African sighting, as this area where he was is savannah grassland (surrounded by thick jungle) and it's there along the surfaced road the grass is always thickest and greenest because of direct water run off. Even in lean rain fall the grass is always green along surfaced roads, heavy nightly dew (in Africa) mist and light drizzle is enough to keep it so. Next morning the caravan was back but he had moved over the hill just out of sight, all we saw was his giant head held aloft as he vanished over the hill but his presence was still causing much excitement. Bless P'Duan.
I saw the damage he had done to the kitchen at the tourist centre cafe recognising it from this and another video LOL.
Sadly during the three days we were staying in the park twelve elephants lost their lives when they plummeted over a waterfall, all trying to help one another as they fell. Horribly tragic. The good news though is that after the actions of one ex-ranger keeping vigil at the spot, until the authorities listened to him they are now moving the rest area (snack shop, visitor centre, WC and car park to the falls) which force the elephants to skirt around and into the path of the treacherous waterfall. This is not the first time this tragedy has happened. The rest area is their ancestral route around the danger. It's thought one of the tiny calves fell first after being washed down stream while being led across by the Matriarch. How those elephants year after year manage to negotiate those incredibly steep mountains and ravines which is almost 100% of the park is incredible. Sadly very little lowland forest still exists and almost none in the parks, all taken by agriculture and people. Nonethless they do and fatalities of this nature are rare, for such large creatures this is indeed utterly remarkable.
Getting very excited to be with my beloved elephants in Africa again over Christmas, hoping to be with some of the elephants I have know over the years. At least if poachers haven't got there before me. Yes another seemingly unstoppable tragedy on our planet unfolding on our watch, they vanish one by one.
They're not gentle in musth tho...
@@agirlisnoone5953 The very old, very big ones generally are, however it's still wise not to invade their space or any wild elephant's space for that matter. Complacency is a killer. Far as my experience goes it's younger bulls in musth that are the most frenzied by the hormone rush. Having said that I once sat and watched a large bull in his prime in musth fighting a giant ancient tree. He wouldn't give up until that tree had fallen a few degrees, even then he kept going back and back to it. Completely ignored me just twenty or so meters away, taking out all his frustration on that tree and any branches he could rip off. You can see how they can break their tusks doing this as the sheer force and power is unbelievable.
Elephants in musth are very aggressive
@@CreatorsHubCreates Some are, some aren't. A lot depends on the age of the elephant, the time of musth and individual personality. Musth builds up and wanes, the flood of testosterone is not constant, so depends on the stage of musth. Older elephants will have less testosterone and some younger elephants the same but more energy and not all musth translates into "aggressive" behaviour, certainly unpredictable behaviour. I watched a bull destroy an enormous tree while in musth, shaking it until it fell. All his frustrations were aimed at that tree. He would do frenzied laps from me to the tree but the tree bore the brunt of his energy. It was almost like saying to me 'look what I can do". Coming right up to me, i could smell his breath, shrieking and shaking his gaint head held high then storming straight back at the tree for another assault. This went on for hours. Think he was lonely too as there weren't any other elephants for thirty miles circumference. I had flown in that morning and spotted him at the tree from the air. His everything fixated on the tree. Destructive, compulsive at the height of Musth.
Keeping calm is the best solution. I can tell that the driver of this jeep is trying to divert the animal away from human safely without using any force to hurt it. The elephant gets the hint and peacefully walking away.

That won’t do anything. It’s in musthe. It doesn’t matter was you do, there’s a chance it’ll attack, musthe is extremely dangerous.
Not many people can say- an elephant made that new window in the wall for me! Great vid, happy ending!
คิดถึงพี่ด้วน ฉลาด สมารท์ฝุดๆ
Nice work by Driver, gutsy ! probably ended up on roof if he wasn't careful, didnt't push too hard
You guys are so smart . Thank you
Thanks for video .
Der Jeep Fahrer ist sehr mutig!!!
Soo beautiful
That was really cool. Beautiful elephant.
This guy seems extra buff!! When he flexes up against that building man.... like solid muscle
All that testosterone.
Absolutely amazing how those brave guys in that JEEP gently guided that huge elephant out of danger. He could have crushed them in a heartbeat. I think the paqui was having an innocent tantrum with no malice....just antics..."look! See what I can do to this house!".....Thank God no one was hurt.
They know each bull behavior very well so they know how to handle every time the bulls show up especially at the park tourist center.
That is Ranger
?ทท?.
Fuck those assholes that elephant should be free and not at some camp for people's amusement...let him go back to his natural habitat where he belongs. If I kidnapped you and threw your ass in a 4 wall room with nothing at all you would go crazy also...so then what I pat one of the guards on the head because they know how to keep you in line even though your living in a cell with nothing? Smh asshole
This elephant bull in musth makes me think of frustrated teenage boys who need an outlet so they get into mischief.
So true 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Been there, done that.

Devono vivere sereni e protetti... 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘

Good video.
Elephants are friendly vegetarians; except when a bull elephant is in musth.
I mean they are still vegetarians
Or when they feel threatened or protecting their young! I think that in general, Asian elephants are less aggressive than African elephants! Perhaps because African elephants have more predators. of course, I have no real first hand experience with elephants!
Ok sir
เรา กลับ มา ยัง พื้นที่ ยัง อดีต อัน อบอุ่น ของ เรา และ หาก ไม่มี อะไรๆ เปลี่ยนแปลง เรา มี ความสุข และ พวกเขา ไม่ แตกต่าง กับ เรา *เมตตาธรรม *
Poor guy haha, he is just a little emotional right now!
ฉลาดมาก ถ้าไม่ให้ของกินจะรื้อบ้าน ช้างตัวนี้เเสบจริงๆ
Elephant is roaming very cool
Good elephant 😍
I ❤️ this video!
interesting fact elephants don't have incisors, their tusk is basically what would have been incisors, they use their trunk to grab and cut the leaves, then they just have highly specialized molars
poor thing, it can't control itself while is in a strange place, hopefully evertyhing is better now
Lovly Elephant ❤️🔥❤️🔥
Being in musth, he dosn't seem aggressive! Just looking around.
He's tired and old and probably at the end of musth. The ranger will have read the situation before attempting this manoeuvre. At the height of musth the elephants behaviour is very different, they also expend huge ammounts of energy hence by the time musth starts to subside a bit they become very tired and indeed hungry.
He was hungry and looking around for some whooper or cheeseburger or some like that ..nor running nor shaking his head side to side , this isn't " musk sß
Very kind way to treat wildlife.
Of
He just wants to take a look around @ some new scenery 🥰
And tear the roofs off the houses
💜🦣💜🦣💜🦣 THESE GREAT MAGNIFICENT GIANT PACHYDERMS WERE HERE LONG BEFORE HUMANS TOOK OVER THEIR LANDS!!!🦣🦣🦣🍼🐘🐘🐘💚🌳💦⛰️🌊 THANK YOU FOR HOW YOU HANDLED THAT HANDSOME BULL ELEPHANT TUSKER WITH RESPECT AND UNDERSTANDING THAT HE'S IN MUSTCH WHICH IS SAME AS TEMPORARY INSANITY TO PACHYDERMS WORLDWIDE!!!🤓🫶🏽 I LOVE THE ELLIES!!!💜💜💜🙋🏽♀️🔥🙏🏽👑✝️📖🔥🕊️
ใหญ่มากกกก
Слон просто вымогатель еды понимает что ему за определенные действия дают бананы вот и приходит побушевать
Looks like this elephant respects the ranger. Did he raise him since childhood?
That Jeep driver has balls of titanium.
,
I think he's an asshole for driving up to the giant like that.
He's trying to herd the elephant out of the area so it doesn't hurt anyone or destroy anything. Elephants in musth are very dangerous and unpredictable.

Naughty boy playing up !
Está más que demostrado que a los elefantes no le gustan los coches, su ruido, su olor, ya no sabe de que forma decirlo: “Fuera coches, dejadme en PAZ”, y nosotros mientras...”HAy que gracioso, mira como se enfada...”.... es que somos más torpes....
Please be kind to this beautiful animal hes a gifted from God remember that 🙏 💖
That must have been the snack shed!
खुप छान
it says its a restaurant kitchen
lmao did u think musth was a place. i lowkey would too
Wooow he’s huge
Ll
The liquid dripping from the sides of his face is the sign of mushy.
fascinating place to live....I don't think wild elephants wud be as dangerous to ppl if they were used to them since childhood....this is proof this elephant is used to ppl food and his condition makes him more impulsive so he just tried to go in....😃
That is one big Tusker........

He is like... come on! I just wanted a smell and peek and your being pushy ...
Wow! What's he doing in town. Must be lunch time. It could have been much worse if the Jeep didn't bluff him back into the bush! That was interesting. Thank you
I have traveled to Thailand for many years and have seen a lot of what the residents do to make money.
Please to all visitors in Thailand, do not ride elephants and do not attend elephant shows, this is pure animal cruelty
Uhkf
hypocrite
@ Max Merki
Thank you very much for your comments.

@@KP-mq7qq Horses are fitted for riding and they can be addomesticated without the use of violence. Elephants aren't fitted for riding, they can transport without suffer only one or two humans bareback but the elephants allows that only if they had domated by use of torture and violence. I suggest you to search the word Phanjabb.
@@KP-mq7qq Explain me then, please. Why they use elephants? Today is forbidden by law to use them in the logging industry. Thai uses elephants for traditional and religious cerimonies and for tourism. In both cases the elephant is domated by the use of violent tecniques.
I'm so glad you didn't hurt him. You guys are awesome. You prob could of put some food in the back of the jeep and he would of followed you out of town right way. Lek does that on her little bike.

Just another day in paradise
If you got him a bunch of food and water, he'd be more likely to calm down and buy you time to do what you're going to do. I'd just lead him away, but it depends on the moment.
The guy in the Jeep has some big balls.
Nice
The elephant is hungry he just want food 🥘
Look at the fat neck with the double chin
He looks extrem healthy to me
3:05
Sanjay Sharma nope. The elephant is in a “musth” state. Look at the face of the elephant, there’s a fluid seeping behind the eye. That’s temporin, from the temporal gland, it indicates that the elephant male is high on testosterone, making them agressive, but can find mate easily.

P'Duan : I didn't do anything. I am kidding with them and I just need friends. No need to call jeep.😕😕
I dont know if its at the end of his musth season or during cuz if its during gg to the jeep. Never seen euch a calm elephant in musth before
smart jeep
Could you not subdue with a dart or weed guy in the jeep really brave well done
Darts can't pierce elephant skin. That stuff is tougher than kevlar.

Elephant doesn't entered in home, instead we have entered their homes.....
Noticed that car driving by startled him a bit

Pls gives good
Elephant us hungry
Só tava pedindo uma comida água só não vai brigar não emloquesa Os elefantes
👍👍👍🙏
Elephants move only in elephant corridors.
This elephant must have been searching for water in his elephant corridors to cool off.
Encroachments into elephant corridors should be removed.
Settlers and farmers should be advised to by pass the elephant corridors to avoid human elephant confrontations.
Elephants are eco engineers and preserve the trees and Savannah in their elephant corridors and prevent mud sliding and floods and loss of life.

He's not "wild" and crazy, he's in musk and that can make an elephant act wild and crazy, just as it does in humans during adolescence. He's only looking for someone to wrestle with -- like another bull elephant.
พ่อพลายตกมันด้วยนะ
He was just looking for food.
in fact he was looking sone cigarettes and a lighter.
What happened to the rest of this beautiful elephants tail.
Denise Ripp was wondering same thing
His tail was wound infection
They need to clear the area
It wants to remodel the house.
Lmao that was funny
What was in structure? My guess... sweets??
No he is not in the musth.....otherwise the person in the jeep would have had it....he looks calm and friendly
Não judia só dar uma comida para ele comer água para ele
O.my God.....
Hi
His tail is tiny
He looks very hungry! If people could feed the elephant at such times...
He is to much of fat. To much of fat no good for him.
amputee tail mosquito ??
Every one knew his name P'Duan a friendly elephant.
