When an African Elephant in musth gets too close!! Terrifying!!!

“Everyone get down” Elephant “I can see you guys you know that right”🤦🏽‍♀️

Fortunately that bull seemed more curious than aggressive.

Probably the closest thing you could ever get to jurassic park.

An elephant-bull in musth is without a single doubt the most dangerous living thing you could imagine. The guide shouldn't have let the vehicle gets so close, or these might people might as well be dead...

He was at the end of his musth season. You can see it oozed out of his right temple. If he was in the middle of his musth he wouldve toppled the bus and gored everyone to death.

That elephant was being so nice to them. He could have squash them like blueberries

When the elephant gets to close?......I think you meant “when people get to close”....your in his home

Having worked with elephants, I can say with confidence that a Bull elephant in season (especially an African) is dangerous and unpredictable. This elephant didn't see the people as a threat to himself or his females so it turned out well.

6:18 elephant is like well you all drove up to me, im here.

Seemed to me like the elephant had a really strong reaction to hearing that girl get so frightened. You could see its attention was immediately drawn to her after her initial exclamation, and then, as if he didn't want to cause any more ruckus, peaced out. Or, he was just frightened from the sound, and made a hasty retreat.

I'm so glad that I'm watching this from the TV and not live...

The guides let the situation get out of hand. Should never get into a situation where the guests fear for their lives.

Those people are extremely lucky

Lol..kid terrified " Mamaaaa".. Almost gets everybody killed...

best iPhone commercial to date lol this was more intense than any horror movie seen in years

The bull elephant decided to let them live. 🐘

He heard those whispers at 4:30 and said you got something to say, say it my face!

And the award goes to "The Cameraman" who filmed this video even after finding himself in the most terrifying (I would use the word "the most traumatic") situation. I have watched many many videos where cameramen sitting in their comfort zone but still cameras are shaky and blurry but this man truly deserves a word of appreciation. Good job brother!!! Just because of your guts and balls, we could enjoy this encounter. Ha Ha !!! I would never want you to get into this situation again but if you fell, make sure you got the same guts again to film the video. Lol!!!

he is majestic and beautiful

Well that just seems reckless. Bull elephant self-evidently in Musth and the driver lets it get that close? I have to say that's probably the most passive Elephant in musth I've ever seen, most in that situation would have just crushed the vehicle, and people crouching down in their seats would be no defence, these people got lucky that the one elephant whose curiosity overcame his hormones. And it is particularly foolhardy when the vehicle contains silly people who squeal at exactly the point when they should be most quiet. The way some of these tourists behave makes me wonder if they ever bother to do just a little research about the fauna and flora of their holiday destination. And how to operate a damn camera. * Edited to accommodate those offended by the phrase "silly girls"
