Such gentle creatures. More should be done to protect them.
But money
@@asmodeus1234 bruh?
@@imnotplayingok1894 im saying that, in general, people would sooner have money than give a shit, which is terrible, but true
@@asmodeus1234 they need to be managed though and not encouraged to over populate.
@@tomw1825 when they're in the wild where they're supposed to be there's a thing called natural selection.
the elephant is like "leave my human alone"
You don't know that
You sound like an abuse victim so I'm gonna leave you alone
+Anna Kekko Do you know that for sure, Anna? You should never make assumptions. Elephants have very good memories and do get emotionally attached to those close to them. Many elephants get very attached to their caretakers.
+Anna Kekko Lower down the profanity will yea?
+Anna Kekko How would you know that elephant is wild? Spoiler warning: You dont.
I like how, at the very end, you see the dude stand up and get slapped in the face by the elephant's ear.
+Iname Affectionately, I'm sure! ^__^
+Iname stupid hooman can't take care of self
+Iname You can even hear the whaap sound. Lol
lmao! I read your comment and watched the video again.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Playing with an elephant's emotions is never a good idea.
I agree
Me too
absolutely correct......
Correct as their memory of everything they see or do or what happens to them last them a lifetime.
It’s also not a good idea if you value your own safety or your own life for that matter. Does that idiot realize how easy it would be for that Elephant to kill him ?
They didn't show the part where the elephant remembered the attacker the next day and stomped him like a spider.
+Russell Schiwal I was thinking that. Elephants have facial recognition and that guy should be careful.
+Russell Schiwal
I was thinking the exact same thing....lol... If I were him...i'd not go near her again
+Russell Schiwal lol
+Russell Schiwal LOL that was my first thought too. I hoped they picked an 'aggressor' for this demonstration who has nothing to do with the elephants, because elephants are certainly not above revenge.
Glen Bradley search elephant paints elephant ! there smarter then the dumbest dumb people i bet
Elephants are smart enough to know violence against other species is wrong, especially to those who have a choice.
not sure elephant undestand that they are different species.
Nope. Elephants are extremely smart, which is exactly why they are abused and beaten to teach them "tricks". Educate yourselves, anytime you see an elephant doing something super cool or unpredicted, 9.9/10 times it's been abused and starved into learning some kind of "trick". Real elephants are wild animals who only care about their family, any elephant who can do some sort of trick or pretends to care about humans aka this video was beaten and starved until it learned to give it's free will away to what it's abusive masters wanted it to do.
bestieswithtesties fuck you
Key Lime don’t be in denial. He’s telling the truth. Lek’s elephant nature park is one place where there is no abuse. Watch their videos, never ones with tricks or circuses.
Fred Barker mind your own business, farang
the elephant probably considers the care takers as part of their herd, and will do anything to protect them
The protective love in her charge brought tears to my eyes and swelled my heart.
What a glorious creature!
that's beautiful! that elephant has more love and compassion than a lot of people. people would have just stood around watching him lying on the ground.
So sweet natured and care for others. How can anyone be cruel to these kind souls.
Two words:Money, Greed. A sad truth, unfortunately.
Elephants are beautiful and my personal favorites ❤️They're extremely intelligent and compassionate. I hate that they are so close to extinction.
So go educate yourself. This video alone is what's wrong with elephants today. They are so intelligent and useful that 90% of elephants in Asia are captured, beaten and starved until they learn to obey their human masters. The only free elephants are one's who live in the wild or live in sanctuaries, literally any other elephant you encounter is abused and beaten to make sure it does whatever humans want it to do for money .Whether it's elephant rides for tourism or using them to carry things around like logging elephants; or a stupid video like this, they are abused and scared into doing a human's bidding. This video is not an elephant protecting anyone, it's an abused creature doing what it was taught to do less it suffer the consequences of not listening.
*_Elephant, after "Saving" human_*: "Ok, now what about that peanut we discussed earlier?!"
XD
Elephant bodyguard? Check.
Life complete.
That is the Elephant's handler, They have known each other since the elephant was a baby.
"are you oke hooman", "yess, I'm fine, I'm fine, thank you"
The elephant's quite distressed about it. The ear flapping.
+jetlagsyndrome ... He/she believes this person is in danger - it's not "fun" for him/her. He or she is obviously stressed.

bless it.

Ear flapping is also another way to get rid of bugs flying around the elephant. You can see them doing it majority of the time.
I thought elephant ear flapping is just for cooling itself down?
"An elephant never forgets"
Remember that next time you go near it guy who "attacked" 😂🤣
Beautiful , elephants are so smart!
These creatures are such gentle souls, bless their hearts...
They act the same way in the wild when they protect one another. Gentle giants. They are so intelligent.
I understand elephants have good memory. Will this elephant punish the pretended attacker one day when she runs into him?
Well the "attacker" ran away before the elephant got close, and due to their poor eyesight I doubt that the elephant will remember.
XxDuB STePxX elephants don’t use eyesight that much. They have very sensitive ears, and can detect things such as gait, walking pace, or tone of voice within minutes. I have seen this myself st Elephant Nature Park
The elephants pet is a human
look at all those chickens...
no that's a dog you idiot
He need some milk 😂
The end made me laugh XD
It literally just made a sound he got ear slapped
that's a big dog
It just shows that if you treat any animal with respect and love you get it back. Humans have a lot to learn.
God I love these animals, I love em all but elephants have a big place in my heart
A friend in need is a friend indeed...
Elephants are precious.
One of those videos where you think about all the sickness humanity produces while a "stupid" elephant understands compassion and unreserved sacrifice to help the one in need.
You know many humans mistreat so many animals, they deserve so much better.
Animals so much nicer than humans.Love love elephants
I adore elephants and this is why, they're so sweet if you've treat them right (they do remember people who have abused them). Although because they're so big they can accidentally hurt people.
Not typically, because they're ACUTELY AWARE of PRECISELY where they put their feet, including and ESPECIALLY their back feet. They are very respectful with their size, they're very careful.
I think the elephant loves him more than he loves it.
Now that's what I call one hell of a watch dog.
Seriously an Elephant sounds like a better thief deterrent than a dog.
The guy who pushed her caretaker down had best stay away. Elephants never forget. :)
Those poor animals! At least she has a good home now!
Wow that thing sure loves him!
Elephant love is HUGE!!!!
Now that's a friend..
The Elephant got down on his knees with the man to console him. The majority of humans don't even do that for their own kind.
Elephants, the only squad you'll ever need in those rough parts of town.
Omg if this isn’t the cutest thing ever 😩 I want himmmmm
Funny how an animal comes to help, if this were a real assault, humans would just stand around and take video with their cell phones and rush home to post it to see how many hits they can get.
+jrcwwl Silly comment. If the humans had a relationship with the person being attacked, do you think they would just stand there calmly recording? If elephants with no relationship to the person being attacked were present, do you actually think they would care?
+Brian H Yours is not only a "silly" comment but an ignorant and utterly selfish comment. So you are saying humans only should help someone in need (especially if they are in physical danger) only if they know or have a "relationship" with the person? It 's stupid people like you who are the ones taking video while someone needs help. Your comment only gives more credibility to my statement above, and proves you completely missed the point I was making. Smh laughing at some people's ignorance.
+jrcwwl No, that is not what he is saying. He is saying that if that was a human who had also developped a relationship with the "victim", then surely, the human would help too. So not only is your comment incredibly silly, it's also a complete strawman. Not only is this funny, you also call him stupid while you are the one apparently now able to read!
Unfortunately, stupid people often think they are smart and educated. What Brian said was correct. Also, your complete generalization of the human species makes your argument even dumber. Plenty of people have done heroic things.
Sam Haelterman Two idiots--what a surprise. You both fail to get something very simple. Sure the animal has a relationship with this person thus propelling it to protect his caretaker. But humans are supposed to operate on a higher level--excluding you two of course). We don't operate on instinct as animals do or because we were trained to do a certain act. We act according to reason, logic that leads to making a judgment, and my point is as the other person proved, that many humans won't act because "they don't have a relationship" with the person in need as stated above. We as humans shouldn't have to be trained to do something, especially for those that are in danger, or do it because we know them on some level. If you still don't get it (which I'm sure you don't you dolt) check out all the videos on youtube where someone is getting beaten or accosted and people are there with their phones recording it and sometimes even laughing.
jrcwwl
Another strawman argument and ad hominem. For someone who claims to be so educated, it seems very clear to me that you are definitely not versed in the logical fallacies you yourself make. There is nothing more entertaining than someone like you, who really does not know the boundaries of his own stupidity trying to school other people when making the most terrible errors in a rational discours.
Now, you are not arguing with what I am saying or with what Brian said. What Brian said, is that if this was a human instead of an elephant that had developt a relationship with the victim, then you can be sure this human would act and help the victim.
He did not claim that humans need only help the victim when they are close. This is your first strawmanargument. You say:
"So you are saying humans only should help someone in need (especially if they are in physical danger) only if they know or have a "relationship" with the person?"
Your inability to actually read what is being said is astonishing here. Brian obviously said that IF the elephant was replaced by the affectionate human, we would see the same scenery. He did not say that being affectionate to the victim is the only reason for people to help other people. The cringe part of of course is you then continue to ridiculize Brian on a point he never made.
Then I told you this and you replied again in a very insulting fashion.
Nobody made a claim of anything else and thus your second claim is also a strawman argument. But I will discuss it regardless:
"But humans are supposed to operate on a higher level--excluding you two of course). We don't operate on instinct as animals do or because we were trained to do a certain act. We act according to reason, logic that leads to making a judgment, and my point is as the other person proved, that many humans won't act because "they don't have a relationship" with the person in need as stated above. We as humans shouldn't have to be trained to do something, especially for those that are in danger, or do it because we know them on some level."
This claim has nothing to do with what both me and Brian said. Putting an ad hominem into a strawman argument is by far the most stupid thing I have read all week, if not all month. It takes a special kind of ignorant, but right, that's that.
I know humans oparate on a higher level, which can also make humans not act. That might be an interesting observation. It does not mean because you can reason on a higher level, that therefore your sense of morality is better. Other than that, humans often act instinctively. So if you were the least bit educated on the topic of evolutionary psychology, you would realise that instinctive behaviour is definitely inherent in human behaviour. It's not all rational at all.
I know of the video you talk about, and unlike you, I try and find reasons why people would not act upon it. The most plausible and logical explanation is that people are waiting for someone else to help, especially when multiple people are around. So it's not indifference, it's not stupidity, it's more of a cowardly or lazy thing which is by the way, inherent to human behaviour.
Not only is your opinion extremely stupid, it's also incredibly ignorant, lacking facts and full of half truths. Also a gross generalization of humans as a species and a huge lack of knowlegde on the topic of evolutionary psychology. Trust me, there is only one stupid human out of the three of us, and that would be you ;)
That dude in the sunglasses seem like a damn Troublemaker anyway
She also bend down her knees to check if her caretaker is alright. But I think we shouldn't cheat her this way.
Who's a good boy... Who's a good boy... Hope he got s treat afterwards...
That guy was not acting when he booked like his life depended on it.
Back again to watch this beautiful elephant save her friend.
Elephant is one of my favorite animals...smart and gentle
Did the dude get stabbed or something, why he crawling around like Velma losing her glasses?
+MrBombastic799 Acting.
No but he is a footbal player so he is very sensitive.
+MrBombastic799 :o srsly?
+MrBombastic799 the whole assault thing seems staged to demonstrate the elephant's demeanor towards it.
+Daniel Meléndez That's the idea! Fake attack, real response from Elephant to protect his human that probably feeds him or her, etc.
These docile animals are way way smarter than most of the animals with a memory power unlike any animal.Truly magical.
Elephant got down on his knees just to be closer my goodness... makes me want to cry.
That Elephant was getting ready to move something
trust and respect are the keys here. if you can earn their trust elephants will treat you as one of their own. i have seen older females actually try to feed people.
the most bad ass bodyguard ever
Awww, I want a pet Elephant! hehehe. Nah, they deserve to be happy and free.
What a beautiful and magnificent animal -- elephants are priceless -- I love them!
Elephants never forget.... and they never forgive...
Best rescue ever🐘
Amazing animal, so intelligent and caring.
Guy A: So I heard you got some security for your home
Guy B: Yup
Guy A: So what is it like a guard dog or something?
Guy B: Or something.
*Loud Elephant Trumpet*
You got an elephant, you don't need a pit bull for protection.
elephant is just checking if there is anything left in his pockets to take for himself...
This will put a smile on your face.
Why put 'your friend' in stress for those few minutes, just for youtube? This is not my idea of devotion as elephants are such emotional animals.
it is a strange thing for a sanctuary to do - let them live stress free
I officially want an Guard Elephant.
GREAT & AFFECTIONATE CREATURES TO THEIR BELOVED MASTERS !
This is a VERY VERY VERY STUPID thing to do. You NEVER want to piss off an elephant!
I wish I have one such elephant
That's a big guard dog you got there.
Heart touching love...
I love these "animals save their owners" type of videos :)
These people can do everything that is in their genes
I want a pet like this
Mugging would literally go down 99% if every american had one of these walking with them lol. Awesome animals. Hunting for sport is just stupid. I believe in gun rights and I own many, but hunting for sport is wrong and should be banned. Real hunters kill for food and respect animals and wildlife in general. We don't need to kill for food anymore, literally hundreds of thousands cows a year get slaughtered for burger king, Mcdonalds and what not so we can eat without having to hunt. So I actually don't even hunt anymore I fish and eat fish daily for my diet but it's just wrong to kill animals for sport. You have to have some mental disability to hunt for sport and go "damn fine looking animal, I want to kill it". wrong man.
+Douglas Robinson Well yeah we do. We have to, for example, where I live keep the moose population at the appropriate level. My family hunts moose but not for sport, it gives us a LOT of moose meat waaaay cheaper than bought in the store and we know where the moose comes from and that there are no additives.
Hunting for food is still good at different places in the world.
I'd choose a good moose steak over a McDonalds burger any day of the week, even if the moose steak would be half the size of the burger.
fakeaccount8888 you're an idiot because your argument just dumped on itself, saying I'm not very intellectual is passing judgement moron. BTW, I'm speaking about people who hunt big game like lions, tiger and such that are becoming endangered in the first place. Also; intellectually speaking, other animals do hunt for sport but they are not as smart as humans and can't help but follow prey instinct. LOL nice try though on the insult and attempting to make yourself look like a "greater intellect". Idiot.
baverfjant Exactly, you eat the animal I'm fine with that im talking about killing animals that you don't or just plain cannot eat. Example is a lion, Why kill the creature? You are not going to eat it, it's not posing a threat to your family so why kill it. To me that's senseless and needs to be outlawed. Killing fowl and deer, elk, or pretty much anything else for food, population control is fine to me. Killing a freaking animal you wont eat just because it's big and dangerous and you want to kill it just makes no sense. None. Cecil the Lion is a perfect example, thats not even hunting when you have to lure the animal off the reserve, know exactly where it is and then kill it. It's stupid.
fakeaccount8888 AAAND you're not American so you don't count. I don't believe you get to even own a gun right?
+Douglas Robinson Ah. I did not catch that part. I completely agree with you that killing lions etc. is wrong and unnecessary.
so sweet...love lelephants and so tragic that they are a threatened species if not proectced and saved from poachers.
wow..what a good heart!
such intelligent and social creatures. I love me some elephants!
Food source supplier is going to disappear, how come i don't come here urgently to rescue?
So beautiful animal
This is a bad idea. Elephants have a long memory. That guy who hurt his friend is now in danger if the elephant sees him again. *SPLAT!* 🤣
Don't play with elephant 🐘 emotions they are more faithful than humans
That is so amazing. But I wonder why the elephant's 2 front feet were curled up like that at first.
I wouldn't mind having an Elephant on my side! I don't like when animals are teased though
Even if this was a set up Elephants are still cool.
I want one. But, unfortunately, you cant keep an elephant where I live.
Not sure why they think there is a need to scare the elephant to think the caretaker is down/injured. It causes stress to the elephant.
I wouldn't want to be the guy playing the aggressor.
That dude moved his ass real quick outta there 😂
Beautiful!!
Nature at its best ☺❣
From now on I'm taking my elephant to the Mall with me.
so beautiful
Yes, this really shows how much elephants hate being domesticated. That elephant may as well be the man's pet dog. As long as it doesn't want to sit in his lap.
the elephant's like OH SHIT NIGGAH, I GOTCHA BACK
i dont understand what they said but it made me feel like they were just demonstrating what the elephant does for this man. But almost like they were teasing him. i dont know how to feel about this.
Remélem hatalmas ölelést és valami finom falatot is kapott az elefánt! :) Megérdemli! Csodás lények az elefántok!
We humans should be coming to their rescue...
