    The elephant that's near the child is being fed something. You can see he is eating from the same position everytime. I think there is a handler or keeper standing behind the left front leg and controlling him.

      Perhaps, I can't see anyone personally but that does not mean they aren't there...

    Question : an elephant is one of the smartest animals , and kindest ones , is it real that when they move it in a plane they put Chicks with him so he won't move , bc he's scared of hurting them 🤔 , if it's real, than I am in love with elephants

      I have never heard that before?! More likely the elephant would be scared of it rather than scared to hurt it... but I really HOPE its not true that they do that! :D

      Lyna Achache when ever we move elephants (in a truck, a rescue trailer or a plane) we mostly give them a mild sedative/standing sedation and move them with the keepers that they have the closest relationship with and then a nice milk bottle at stops/at the end!

    Question 2 : is the Testosterone and the protection of ther babies the main reasons why elephants behave aggressively ? Hope u answer me , love you !💙💙

      @DiaryofaTentwife  4 года назад +1

      Yes they are the main reasons, protective mothers is a big one (as with many species!) testosterone (especially when it peaks when males go into their period of musth) and thirdly when they come from a disturbed area (i.e. there has been a lot of hunting or poaching) which is true in the Kafue National Park. Thanks for the questions!! :)

      Lyna Achache it really varies with population. In the Kafue the bulls are much more chilled than the angry mothers!😂
