Adults are some times harder to silent than children. The one's in this safari did really well when the guides told them to be quiet and still. Awesome!
I think the Ranger/guides knew this bull well, and knew he was a easy going stable fellow. He was very calm. LUCKY FOR YOU ALL !! He looked to be 40 plus years old. My compliments that you kept your cool in the vehicle. 😱
@Kathryn Mellor But god says he will help those who are hurting, and yet women die of rape every day, and children die of starvation every day. God was not serious when he said he would help them?

Yes, in many of these elephant encounters that you see here on RUclips, the lifting of the trunk as they get near seems to be a kind of "hello" or the equivalent of the Italian "Ciao"!
The male showed no signs of aggression. He was walking calmly and was more curious than anything else. He did not perceive the vehicle as a threat the same as the first, you were basically invading his path
Lucky bastards!Thank your lucky stars that this huge majestic creature didn't have a bad day...He would've leveled that vehicle and everyone in it.... Respect the animal kingdom...🐘🐘🐘
WildlifeObsessed - must or musth is a periodic condition in bull elephants characterized by highly aggressive behavior and accompanied by a large rise in reproductive hormones. This elephant was NOT in must.😊🙏
What does the lifted trunk mean? Was the elephant sniffing for threats, greeting or what? I know a lifted trunk in elephant statues is good luck and a trunk over the horns denotes aggression. I seen one video where a group of men saved a baby elephant and when the group of elephants was getting ready to leave they all raised their trunks as in thanks. Can someone help me, please?
Screaming Tima - Delighted to share my understandings. Lifting the trunk is a sign that he wants to get a better idea of what you are. Their eye sight is appalling. But they have incredible hearing and sense of smell. Almost certain, he had picked-up the vehicle's scent, mixed in with he was not sure what. Trunk hanging down is too oriented towards the earth. Lifted to your level and its targeted, focused and directed. Trunk up, ears out and lots of noise is good, if darned scary. It's all filibuster and threat. Ears out, head down, trunk curled under and a charge - not threatening any more. No joke. He is serious. This is real and outright attack is imminent. Go on a Safari - you'd love it.
A herd with their trunks up is again, almost certainly, a sign of delight, excitement and that they are all talking to each other and friends in other herds, you may not even be aware of. Their voices are at such a low pitch that most human ears cannot pick them up. Such that you might not hear anything.
Bull elephant 🐘 usually on own?? Females keep together to look after babies, matriarch? Is a mentor & guide?? Trunk very important to elephant 🐘 they put it over tusks to protect it,
you are safer in a vehicle with lions around than you are with an elephant around, they can crush your vehicle with you inside it or they can flip it over and then stomp you with you inside the vehicle that one looks about 5tonnes = 5000kg, that's about 63 men piled on top of you
Boy would I be mad at my safari guide. These elephants can flatten these vehicles and have often killed people this way. It's disrespectful to get this close to them.
Adults are some times harder to silent than children. The one's in this safari did really well when the guides told them to be quiet and still. Awesome!
The beautifully surreal part was when the elephant passed by. It was like a tree had walked by. I also loved the relieved chuckle at the end.
Wow! That's an experience you'll never forget, and fantastic work handling the camera, beautiful....Thank you for sharing...
How fantastic to have such a close encounter with a fabulous 🐘 how privileged you were he was magnificent
Not a privilege when it kills you
@@stritax9478 keep out of his way then they are trespassimg
What a magnificent creation,so majestic....I love these beautiful babies...just peacefully walk by..

snugbug they know the signs he’s displaying -
40plus old elephant have big tusk enough to touch the ground he is maybe 20+ year old

My goodness! LOOK AT THAT TRUNK. Wow. Magnificent creature The Creator designed.
2dasimmons beautiful. I’m in awe daily.
Why does the Creator allow women to be raped to death and children to die of starvation as we speak?

@@MrsAp425 Personally I prefer to believe in the Hindu elephant god Ganesha.
A nice calm elephant just greeting them by lifting his trunk😁

Reminds me of a scene in Jurassic Park... I love elephants but Im afraid I would have peed myself.
Exactly...I was about to comment this...
You did a great job being quiet for him.
He was so beautiful and impressive!
Five tons of calm and confidence.
The quiet gentle walk can never feel for these creatures presence!! Amazing. May God Almighty Jehovah bless them.❤️
what majestic animals!
🐘 Elephant: "I mean you no harm...just going about my business. I need you to do the same! 😂😂😂

Steven Hulbert I’m a devout coward. I would have had a heart attack.
It's like watching a living dinosaur 😄 wow
I love them beyond words 💝
He's just strolling around being awesome.
The most amazing animals on earth, imho.
ditto, but many animals are amazing eg, whales and porpoises .
Its mesmerising watching it slowly walk towards the camera.
"Do we close the roof?'.. That should stop an elephant that size..
Lol
Ha!! That's exactly what I was thinking! Close the roof? What the heck for?
🤣
Stupid person.
Lucky bastards!Thank your lucky stars that this huge majestic creature didn't have a bad day...He would've leveled that vehicle and everyone in it.... Respect the animal kingdom...🐘🐘🐘
Jiffy Jim - he wasn’t in mast
Christiane Montazer - Also known as 'Musth' - a condition that is almost impossible to not notice, so No Danger here.

I was expecting the dilating eye look into the window( jurassic park style)
And then the loud roar!!
Now THAT was CLOSE!!!
just a big gorgeous Elephant taking his usual path you happened to be on...
'Just out for a Sunday stroll....bloody cars...get out of my way..oh, can't be bothered squishing anything, today..tum te tum te tum te tum...'😎
That slow motion ..amazing ..😍😍♥️
Omg , He’s Big !!!!!!
That was frightening. He is so huge.
Look the size of it beast
Dude, he could wrestle a big rig.
Reminds me of the Jurassic Park while he is going past the second vehicle.
such a stunning beautiful creature
The elephant just said wasssup
And just think... that "massive" creature is a mere puppy compared to what used to roam the Earth.
Beautiful majestic animals
Doesn't that car have a reverse gear? I would have been off down the track before the elephant had finished sniffing at the other vehicle!
This is why you listen to softer music and have peanut butter and a loaf of bread. Make it a THICK PB sandwhich and slowly pull away.
Será que existe ainda?
The big guy's temporal glands were seeping. Study up on musth... at this time of year he is less predictable and volatile.
Just checking for tourist snacks that an elephant might like.
Geez he is just beautiful. Want to see one in person and someday I will so help me.
Che splendida creatura 🥰🥰🥰🥰👑
That guy knew exactly what he was looking at....
Wow 😯 that was amazing!! 🐘🐘🐘
She asked more than once he's not mad is he,he was a big fellow.

Did the driver have his brown coloured trousers on?
Pure Grace !!!!
Good zoom lens.
Elephant: I don't give a shitt
Is that the worlds biggest living elephant?
SSSSHHHHH, listen to your guide. Don't panic lady
O big ass elephant coming my way. Lets turn the car off.
just wow amazing creature.
I wish the elephant would have let rip a huge tail lifting fart as they watched him walk away 😈
That's what he thinks about them🤣
Do elephants have 2 stomachs and eat digestion tampering anti-biotics with every meal. Cows do.
Why didnt you pull off to the side of the road?
THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE YOUR ENTERTAINMENT
They wasn't bothering that elephant! Lighten up, pal
Dear World,
If we fail to help, being nice and kind to other animals, we would never entitled to any either!
Majestätisch göttliches Geschöpf wow😳👍😀
Bull elephant 🐘 usually on own?? Females keep together to look after babies, matriarch? Is a mentor & guide?? Trunk very important to elephant 🐘 they put it over tusks to protect it,
I like how it walks directly on thr road
'wow a huge elephant ',.
He looked sad, just walking the road by himself....
Luck that the elephant was in a good mood. Should have taken your car from the path so he could walk on, like the first car did.
was für ein schönes video
Look like Jurassic Park as he went pass.
Ladies, you need to stay calm!
He’s probably wishing humans would leave him alone...
Or have snacks.
WHERE IS HIS FAMILIA??????????
Wow! How cool!
What makes them think it wont attack?
He wasn't in musth, but still too close for comfort lol.
Какой огромный слон! Махина! Но ведёт себя достойно!
Is he strong enough to flip the jeep? 🐘💕 Love elephants. New sub from Florida. 🌴
Mimi Me he's more than capable of flipping the Jeep over
Just watch ' kerala elephant attacks' in RUclips
you are safer in a vehicle with lions around than you are with an elephant around,
they can crush your vehicle with you inside it or they can flip it over and then stomp you with you inside the vehicle

Big guy selling the show...
Yes, close the roof .
Unforgettable experience, I guess
The only animal, like humans, that have knees and elbows.
Really? I never knew that. Wow. Just learned something. Thanks.
Sure about that?
wholeNwon
If you know otherwise then please elucidate and provide details.
@@geoffhalstead1811 How about all simians, for instance, as obvious examples?
He's not made, right? Aw, he's PISSED!!!!?
doesnt matter if its male or female... its a wild animal
Incredible. 😮😍😊
Ein sehr schönes Tier
just watching this guy not agressive but wary
SSSSSHHHHH, it's a big bull
that size!? OMG
it reminded me about one scene in Jurassic Park movie lol...
He is magnificent he is Africa
Maravilhoso!
One got 10 ft from me and I was shaking in my boots.
Think you guys are just in its way. Trying to stay on the path lol.
In India they roam on public roads too.. v have 'very close encounters' regularly🤣
So if somebody was hurt it would have been their fault ; a thrills a thrill !
Boy would I be mad at my safari guide. These elephants can flatten these vehicles and have often killed people this way. It's disrespectful to get this close to them.
FlipoutJo - the elephant would have smelled your fear and would’ve probably mock attacked this vehicle
oh man. those are 2 elephants. not one
Magnificent
Bellísimo animal!!!!!!!
Bit like the scene from Jurassic park
beautiful
The power
