Silence is most definitely golden when it comes to being so up close and personnel with this incredible giant tusker….

Eswe Ras, Front of House manager for Sausage Tree Safari Camp, on the Balule Private Game Reserve, was lucky enough to have experienced this heart pounding encounter with such a majestic animal.
Eswe is a qualified guide and occasionally does the tracking on game drives (as per this incident).
“This was a unique experience for me, but occasionally trackers do get approached by various animals out of curiosity.”
This happened in February 2016 shortly after we departed for the afternoon drive from camp. We approached a small group of elephant bulls and parked about 30 metres away from them, respecting their space. They gradually started moving closer to us, this is when Ezulwini (the elephant bull) approached the vehicle to pass on by. As seen on the video he came towards me and stood in front of me (what is not seen on the video is that he put his trunk around my one ankle, smelling me) for a few seconds. Our head guide Kevin van der Linde was filming the incident.
It was certainly quite intimidating having such a huge animal so close to you & touching you but I never felt that I was in any danger. Ezulwini is an elephant well known to guides & trackers here on Balule and he is a very gentle-natured animal. The feeling I think would best be described as complete awe and definitely an adrenalin rush."
After Ezulwini's curiosity faded, he simply moved off and resumed feeding along with the other bulls.

@idleonlooker1078
@idleonlooker1078 3 года назад
The 3 reasons why animals are poached: - for money, - for food ("bush meat"), - to protect their subsistence crops against "crop-raiders". The last 2 are the most common reasons, with the last also causing most human deaths, because of those poor farmers trying to defend their crops. Remember, too, in rural areas of Africa, there is no welfare office or social security hand-outs to be had (since NONE are paid in Africa!!), so people do what they must to survive. It's very easy for SJWs and "conservationists" from comfortable western societies to anthrpomorphise about WILD animals and scream that the animals must be protected, but the fact remains it's very different story when you are extremely poor, and actually have to live defenceless and "cheek-by-jowl" with these large dangerous - and predatory - species every day of your (usually short!!) lives. Just remember these people - who are BY FAR much worse off than you - before you preach or judge. The problem is far, far, more complex than your immediate, shallow, response warrants. 👍

What an experience to have one of these incredible tuskers come right up to you,putting his trunk round his leg to scent him..and proudly walking away.It's a nice name for a camp as well and in his own words.. "The feeling I think would best be described as complete awe and definitely an adrenalin rush." This is one for the guide's memory chest:he'll never forget *this* welcome.`

@@rebekahfunches6876 Musth is a period that bull elephants go through during mating season. Their testosterone production balloons to 60x what it normally is. It's characterized by a swollen temporal gland. It causes an annoying toothache for the bull, resulting in extremely aggressive and violent behavior even in normally peaceful and well-adjusted bulls. It seems to work out for them, since cow elephants are more likely to mate with elephants in musth.

Consider the following: 1) The guy in the chair is closer than the camera. 2) @0:28 the elephant lets out a grumble. Elephants produce very, very low frequencies. So that grumble, alone, is enough to make anyone pee their pants. The rumble is lower than what 99%+ of speakers can reproduce. The rumble goes below human hearing (below 20 hertz). So that end of the grunt can only be felt -- and he felt it!

Thank you , thank you, thank you!!!! I would have loved to had heard the guide right after this... his voice would speak volumes about the emotion that this must invoke within him as he sits frozen. After all we are guests in THEIR home.

Elephants hate the smell of fresh human shit. Hence, one whiff and, it was off.

Being eye to eye with a sentient being such as an elephant is a precious and priceless gift to me!! Only in my dreams could that happen.

Giant reached the man. Man showed his balls. Giant found these balls are bigger than my dads balls. Giant escaped trouble and left the place. Summary of this clip.

incredible experience. looking like he meant business, when he lifted his ears, think i would have pooped my panties. that would definitely make the top bookmark in the coolest things that could happen to anyone in a lifetime. even though it was short lived. you’re a very lucky dude

He looked pretty calm. I think he's trained for things like that.

lol seriously? is the driver so stupid to lead his tourists so close to an elephant?
@jeffkeith637
@jeffkeith637 7 лет назад
They probably stopped the vehicle near the elephants which then moved closer to the vehicle. It's a calculated risk, but starting the vehicle and moving away may be worse than just sitting dead still and even quieter. If the animals are in charge and aware of your presence they can stay calm and move on. Sudden noise and movement of the vehicle may startle them and make them defensive.

So awesome. To remain calm has got to be difficult. I wonder if the elephant can feel your heart beating a million miles a second. lol. He can crush you in .5 seconds but he doesn't, he just wants to look at you and walks off.

Its so cool how bull elephants get close enough, they AWAYS pretend to be eating, but they are really just watching you, thinking..."what would happen if i just walk over and say HELLO THERE, LITTLE PERSON!! "
