An elephant employs its tusks to raise a safari vehicle.
in WTF
Elephant lifts a safari jeep using its tusks.

A
Dont think ‘hey’ worked too well
A
“enough” seemed to work. Probably should have just asked not to lift the jeep to begin with.
R
>Probably should have just asked not to lift the jeep to begin with. Should’ve asked politely… hey and enough sounded a little authoritative.
M
Hey, move! He moved.
F
Well I mean he is an elephant and hay is for horses
N
Is it too much to ask for a please?
Z
It’s all part of the show!
M
Would not have thought of that myself. You can clearly see a highly trained professional at work.
J
Should’ve clearly articulated that he wasn’t looking for trouble
G
Because it’s for horses.
P
I asked my girlfriend if she wanted some horseplay, she said nay.
L
Do you feel like you’re in charge? – bane
T
Neither did clapping his hands.
D
Elephant said “Nah ima do my own thing.” Lol
D
“there is that same guy again..”
S
Elephant said “Lower your voice when you’re talking to me.”
D
Wait a minute… You’re not in charge of me!
H
Damn did that elephant understand him?
S
Elephants are smart and probably understood him but it didnt give a fuck lol I’m not sure if elephants see vehicles like big animals, like lions do. That’s why you don’t step off the vehicle, like in that 1980s Faces of Death video when the lions ate that dude.
C
That video of those Siberian Tigers where one is trying to rip the tire off the bus and the other one is like **[cmon man, you’re gonna get us in trouble.](https://youtube.com/shorts/RECHl-AWOGo?si=xizjcLtbmfvGEkvV)**
F
Wow those tigers are huge
N
Damn those cats are huge.
J
The motor in the bus sounds like horny house cats.
M
What you wanna do when in a vehicle surrounded by lions is get out and manically run away from them all whilst looking panicky.
C
looking panicky and delicious at the same time. “Negative, I am a meat popsicle!”
K
Fuckit, now I have to watch the 5th Element again 🙃
M
Such an awesome movie, but it sort of stands alone – I want more and don’t want it ruined in equal measure.
J
I’ve heard marinating yourself in raw meat and blood helps drive them off
B
Nah, they’re smart enough to see the humans are inside the car. There was one the other day reaching into a car with its trunk trying to find food. The only thing that might be an argument is the rage these male elephants are going through. Just seeing red etc but in that case there’s a good chance there would’ve been a much bigger mess than just a quick lift of the front.
N
There’s a much more recent video of some tourist woman getting out of the car for a selfie and well… yeah….
V
Maybe it’s like possums. I wonder if they see humans as infant cars getting separated from their mother
K
I would guess it to be more of an instinctual response to a similar situation than assuming we are literal baby cars.
N
Awww someone’s got their fender in a bender
C
my theory is that the elephant knows them well, or at least its not a truly wild elephant, and maybe they drive close by the elephants as part of the tour, but he was not having it that day.
B
I read that you can tell if an elephant is bluff charging by its ears. If its ears are flaired out, it’s a bluff. This ones ears are flaired out, so maybe the guide was acting based on that. But idk, I’m no elephologist
D
Woke up on the wrong side of the watering hole. Happens to us all.
F
Woke up on the wrong side of a blowjob
L
most group animals understand tonal shifts.
Y
Elephant’s like, “That’s what I’m about, son. Want to try your luck further?”
C
The Safari dude probably walks around a tree gives the elephant a couple bucks says thanks for giving my clients a show.
J
That will come in handy when the elephant goes grocery shopping later.
M
I like how the driver was all hard and pissed and being aggressive and after getting his truck lifted and dropped twice he was almost begging for the elephant to stop. You’re driving around on THEIR territory, learn some manners.
B
Reality hit when he was 7 ft in the air.
B
You’d think whoever is driving around a safari like that would know enough to respect the size of an elephant. 🐘 Fire that man
K
Fire that man? Why? Assuming you’re not an expert on elephant behaviour, for all you know he did the smartest thing to do in that situation and got unlucky with unpredictable elephant behaviour. At the end of the day, he got them out of their safely. Maybe think a bit more before you react.
E
I agree
C
Oh no! …the windshield crack got bigger, damn, i hope that elephant has good insurance, windshields are usually not covered. But seriously, i like how the elephant showed some restraint after the second lift, as it the elephant were working with that man to make a show in that tour, but the elephant overdid it, thats why the man yells “eh! its enough!” and the elephant aaaalmost looks like “shit, i think i overdid it” because, its agressive, but not making any sounds, nor keeps charging at them.
B
> as it the elephant were working with that man to make a show in that tour The hours are good but they pay peanuts
A
I think you’re right. That did feel like a part of the tour that just got a little out of hand.
C
im half joking with that lol, i dont think this is staged at all, well… the attack is real, but i think the elephant is very familiar with the man or the bus/jeep, because, its so strange that after the jeep backs up, the elephant also backs up. So maybe they do come close to the elephant as part of the tour, but the elephant was not having it that day.
