@thegiantsofbotswana: A YOUNG Famele ELEPHANT, A VEHICLE THAT WOULDN’T START… AND AN UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER! 😳 You may have seen part of this video before when it went viral with 57K+ views and 2K+ likes. But this time, I’ve joined the missing footage so you can finally see the full encounter and how it ended. This happened in Kruger National Park, South Africa 🇿🇦, where a young elephant became increasingly interested in the tourist vehicle after it failed to start. Watch until the end — the ending is something you don’t want to miss. 🐘👀 Wildlife is beautiful, powerful and unpredictable. Always respect the animals and keep a safe distance.

🐘 Just to clarify: this young female elephant was not attacking the tourists. She was harassing the vehicle and the people inside by repeatedly touching and investigating them. There is an important difference between harassment/curiosity and a serious attack. Notice what happened when the tourists eventually got out of the vehicle — she did not continue pursuing them. The other elephants nearby also simply watched and carried on. If she had been genuinely committed to an attack, the situation could have been very different. This is one of the unpredictable challenges that can happen on safari. Young elephants can sometimes be very curious, playful and pushy, especially when they are investigating something unfamiliar. 🐘 That doesn’t mean the situation should be taken lightly. Elephants are powerful wild animals, and their behaviour can change very quickly, so maintaining distance and following the guide’s instructions is always important. This is the beauty — and sometimes the unpredictability — of experiencing wildlife in its natural environment. 🌍🐘

safari cars sould have tricker regulations and need to be not older than 5 years. and also have a global standard... these things are old and unreliable

I got tipped by the vultures that nowadays elephants work with lions to drive tourists out their cars into the open.😏

But let's go to a reserve, get in an open top car, drive around among the animals and NOT expect anything to happen 😏😏😏😏😏
