There are two possibilities scenarios for keeping these African elephants separated: 1: Bulls are harder to manage than females and are used exclusively as breeding machines 2: Zoos are oblivious to the importance of companionship between male elephants
This male elephant is likely in musth, which is when their hormones run wild and is when they breed with female elephants. This happens to all male elephants once they grow to adulthood, and normally docile and mild mannered male elephants often times become very violent and 'angry'. In the wild, male elephants in musth will often do battle with each other -- sometimes to death -- in order to establish dominance, and which of the males wins the right to breed with the females. It's possible in this case the male is deep into musth, and is very upset that he can't go be with (breed) the females.
You know it I despise these god awful disgusting creatures. I think it's hilarious he can get as pissed as he wants and there isn't a damn thing this stupid creature can do about it 😂😂
Highly intelligent 😂😂😂 they're stupid and clumsy in my opinion. I despise these god awful creatures. I think it's funny it can throw all the tantrums it wants and theres not a damn thing the jerk can do about it 😂😂
I love watching elephants at the zoo. Their antics always make me laugh. I don't know what this elephant is so mad about but it is certainly pretty funny.
The reason why the elephant is angry is that there's another elephant inside that cage. That's why she was angry. If people understand animals' feelings some more, they'll know animals have feelings. These elephants are very emotional animals.
Boo hoo these are mainly instinct driven wild animals they have a very basic spectrum of emotions. Personally I despise these stupid creatures I think they are nasty god awful creatures. I think it's tantrums are hilarious 😂😂
Oh this hostile aggressive god awful creature deserves every bit of this and more. Elephants are dark and hostile I think this is exactly what that miserable beast deserves
He’s sick and tired of all this BS!!! It’s only a matter of time before somebody gets squashed like a grape!!! Watch what I tell ya!!! I’m just saying Yo!!!
He might be in “Musth.” It’s a periodic condition in bull elephants where testosterone averages 60 times its normal level and results in very aggressive behaviour.
I hope this miserable creatures suffers here until death. Elephants are dark hostile creatures especially to humans make no mistake, this vile , disgusting animal would stomp you to death in a heart beat
no one can take an animal that has a range of 100's of miles of open space and place them in a four walled enclosure, it is still a four walled cell no matter how it is devised - and - some of the comments by the humans are absolutely appalling. close down all zoo's and other prisons that incarcerate wild, majestic animals like the elephant, because it is incarceration and nothing else.
HES SICK OF BEING CAPTIVE AND SICK OF PEOPLE ALWAYS RUNNING THEIR MOUTH NON STOP AND SICK OF NOT BEING ABLE TO WALK FORWARD LIKE THEIR NATURE TELLS THEM TO DO!!!! THEY'RE KEEPING HIM IN AN UNNATURAL STATE!!!!!! @$$&%?=)$@&_/?=%!!!! AND HE NEEDS FAMILY AND FRIENDS AROUND HIM!!!! ACTUALLY HE NEEDS TO BE FREE!!!!!
So sad to see. And these idiots who are talking nonsense ! No one has tried to talk gently to this poor animal to calm him down. What a pity ! His place is in the wild and not here !
Memphis zoo is an elephant prison. I know. I lived near there for many years. I stopped visiting that zoo a very long time ago because of the elephant abuse. These elephants need to be in a sanctuary where they can have a little bit of freedom to be elephants. This elephant prison should be against the law. They kept one of their elephants in that prison until she died last year at age 56. She never knew freedom. She had a small concrete pad and a concrete "tree". And a jail cell for when she was not on display. They finally expanded the elephant exhibit a little, after decades of nothing but concrete and iron bars, & they crow about how wonderful they are. It's still a prison with no privacy or freedom to have natural behavior. Please stop supporting the Memphis zoo. Their claims of "conservation" are a joke. It's to justify the money they're making & silence critics. Please stop supporting this.
Calm Down people! They’re not abusing the animal he/ she is stressed over something we don’t know why or how. But zoo caretakers know what they’re doing. So don’t assume their mistreating it off the bat. If you don’t know the why and what then don’t say anything if your not knowledgeable of the situation. Yes the animal is stressed but maybe he or she is angry at another elephant 🐘 or maybe it’s a male going into Mest. Look it up.
Why All should be Vegan! This is nothing compared to animals people pay to be enslaved and killed for them to eat. Meat, dairy and eggs are killers: nutritionfacts.org/video/uprooting-the-leading-causes-of-death
