Two Elephants Unexpectedly Charge At Tourist Vehicle

Elephants are absolutely incredible animals; they’re the largest land animal on the planet, they’re intelligent, empathetic, and they know how to scare tourists away when they get too close.

This footage was taken in the Makuleke Concession in the Greater Kruger National Park by Lyle, who sent it in to Latest Sightings. It shows just how quickly a close wildlife encounter can escalate. While on game drives like this, it’s important to remember that these are still wild animals who will protect themselves if they feel that they are in danger, and to ensure that they have their space.
