Mother elephants are protective !!

Talk about taking a pocket knife to gun fight.

Or more like taking a pocket knife to a tank battle.

I think she used a big enough gun

Beware the elephant with only one tusk, she probably knows how to use it...

Or even worse, one with no tusks!

But animals are innocent little things

Gray Death!!!

A PH I once had the privilege of hunting with (Kirk Mason), told me a story of how an elephant came charging out of the bush, as he was driving down a track. The ellie chased him for almost 2 kilometers and at times he reached speeds of 30 kmh as he tried to navigate a rough road while being chased by an extremely irate ellie!

A person on foot would have been turned into goo.

Awesome display of power.

Amazing strength given how strong and heavy buffalo are - placed him en brochette!

There is nothing, repeat nothing, as powerful as an elephant in the bush.

In Matetsi once we shot an impala, and were dressing him when we saw a large bull elephant a few hundred yards away on the side of a hill.

He was playing with a lone big tree.

It was quite fascinating to watch, as he was pushing it with his forehead, then with his knees, then forehead and so on.

It wasn't long before we could see that the tree was getting loose.

We stayed and watched, until he toppled over!

This was just another example of a "lone sick buff" that couldn't keep up with it's herd mates and wasn't able to run from the elephant so might have made a feeble attempt to defend itself against something overwhelming.

The best part is the video of the ele bashing the tourist truck around at a waterhole!
