The first time I saw one of his videos, my 7 & 8 year old grandkids were here & I thought that it would be a teaching moment so I called them to me. We got all settled with me in the middle & I hit play so we all could learn together. Well, 😳 it didn’t take but a very few words for me to blush & suddenly "remember" there was something important I had forgotten to do & needed their help with, lol. I shared the video with my son & daughter-in-law & we all got a big laugh & thankfully the kids never asked about the video either. That taught me my lesson to not disregard what might be pertinent information given at the beginning of a video. I still watch each episode for the education I get & the belly laughs😂 ✌️☮️

Unless it was an actual living-free-in-the-wild elephant, in which case you shouldn’t have been anywhere near it, it was being kept against its will. Elephant orphanages etc may be necessary but not elephant consents to being kept. Dogs and cats may have willingly become domesticated but that’s about it. And places doing the right work getting baby elephants on track or helping release adults in the wild shouldn’t be letting visitors pet them. A place that lets you pet a wild animal is somewhere you should avoid.

When they tried to see how they peel bananas, they failed at first because they gave them ripe banana's which the elephants eat whole, but once they gave them unripe ones they started Peeling them, but only when they were alone in the company of other elephant's they immediately eat it to make sure no one else gets it.

@@vnikyt probably because of the breeding programs they have going on around the world. In order to diversify the gene-pool some are separated and send off to another zoo to breed with a male from a different family, which may take a few years including pregnancy and development of the newborn. There also may be family-disputes and once a certain animal is no longer in the herd the troublemaker may be reintegrated. Often both reasons are combined to create the perfect scenario to keep a healthy and stable population. The reunion was just a was a golden opportunity for the poop-experiment.

Kinda sucks to be a Bull elephant, get kicked out of your family herd right when you start to go through those awkward teen years, and end up hanging out by yourself, or with another group of males who also haven't gotten lucky in months. (Male African Elephants usually get ejected from the herd right at about 15 years old, when they tend to start getting rowdy.) And just when you think teen angst is a thing of the past, you get a nasty case of Puberty, Part II. Part of the problem with Musth is that it's not just a time of raging hormones, it's also really uncomfortable. All of that dribbling urine can lead to infections and algae blooms on their plus sized members. Imagine jock itch that lasts for a month every time you want to get some action. Additionally, those temporal glands swell dramatically, and when you have an enlarged gland pressing on the sensitive nerves in your head, it can get excruciating. (Those of us with severe TMJ disorder, Trigeminal Neuralgia, or debilitating Migraines can probably identify with that all too well.) Bull elephants in Musth have been observed sticking their tusks into the ground to relieve the pressure.

I inherited my love of elephants from my great aunt who lived in Africa for a few years. She would tell me stories about the elephants, like how they became her favourite animal after they started coming to their garden to snack. She came back to England, but she brought the love of elephants with her. She had elephant paraphernalia all around her house, wooden carvings and paintings and stuff. Whenever I see elephants, I think of her. She had a great sense of humour and a great sense of style - she always wore pastel coordinating suits with beautiful scarves and lots of shiny jewellery, and she still wore low/medium heels even as she got older. She had short spiky white hair, and was tiny, something I got as well (though I'm not quite short spiky white hair yet). We'd go shopping together and look in the children's section because we could both fit and it was cheaper 😂 and then we'd always go and look at the jewellery and go to a cafe either before or after. She used to work at the museum nearby (cleaning, not curating) and that was great for me because I have always loved museums. It also meant that even though she had retired, she still knew the people working there and all the sneaky bits behind the scenes. They've remodelled since then. She died in 2012 and I miss her a lot. She was a great aunt, and she was like an actual aunt to me. She is the reason for a lot of things about me. She gave me elephants and a sense of style. I don't know if there is a heaven, but I hope she's up there with my great uncle, the rest of our family, and all the elephants she'd watch in her garden, in a light pink suit. I know she would have loved this video, although she wasn't sure about the internet lol

The amount of work that goes into these videos is absolutely insane. It's easier, I think, with fish & bugs because they're an easier species to capture the spectrum of their life activities for. He probably only has to find one researcher & they will have most of the resources he needs. Also big business buys a lot of this footage on African mammals. I imagine that makes it harder to come by as well. He's really getting up there now if he's doing elephants I think? I hope he hires another person to help him with the work load.

I don't know if anyone has suggested this before but I think it would be neat if you did one these true facts videos about humans from the perspective of an animal.

Aparnetly THAT is where the elephants-afraid-of-mice thing comes from: they're feet are so sensitive that they're hyper-cautious about tiny like things getting stuck to the soles of their feet, so they'll seemingly freak out of small moving things run past them.

I know someone who worked as a showgirl for Ringling Bros. Circus. She was an alternate elephant rider, so if any of the regular riders was unavailable, she would ride that elephant in the show. She says that some of the elephants had very thick necks that were easy to straddle but others had very skinny necks and were difficult to sit on. Some were calm and just did the job, while others would shake their heads or bob their heads up and down. She could feel the elephant vocalizing at a sub-audible level in their throats. She says that during some shows the elephants were quiet, where on other nights they were very chatty. On other nights, only a few of the elephants would do all the talking and the rest would be more quiet. She says that you can feel the elephant vocalization coming up through the ground if you are standing near enough to the elephant. All the elephants that she rode were females. Her husband, a clown (yes, they met while working in the circus), was nearly trampled by a "Jumbo" elephant when he hurried out into the circus ring a few seconds late for his entrance. The clown husband was the one telling this story about the "Jumbo" elephant and he said how he came out of a darkened hallway, fumbling with his props into the bright lights, only to come face to face with this giant elephant, looming out of the dark over him. The handlers weren't the least concerned about the danger to the clown. They were worried that the elephant would pull his head up suddenly and possibly damage one of his very long and carefully polished tusks against the cinderblock walls of the arena where the circus was performing. To be fair, that was a genuine concern. The handlers were swearing at the clown and yelling at him to get out of their way as they were bringing out the elephant to the circus ring. The clown said that if the elephant had just decided to shift his weight a bit, he could very easily have squished the clown against the wall of the arena.

I ❤ elephants.They are my spirit animal. Just can't get enough of them. No shade but I'd tried in my fam for a herd any day! The amount of loyalty & genuine love they show to each other is beyond heart warming. I have watched every elephant doc i can get my hands on. My new fav is Elephant Queen on AppleTV but Disney Nature also has a great one as well. I've literally sobbed watching both & insist on sharing the wonderful world of elephants with as many as possible.😊
