For a second, I thought the elephant took the second guy's phone. I guess it was the way it quickly pulled its trunk away and slightly curled like it was holding something.

Every news article I've seen about it is basically saying the same incorrect thing.

I’ve copypasta’d basically the same thing to 5 people today. It’s staggering how insanely bad journalism is. Not a single big-name news source has gotten this Ben remotely right.

That must be at a specific reserve with a well known human raised elephant.

Having lived around wild African elephants, if I saw an one (especially a lone male) taking interest in me like that I'd be getting the gently caress out of there, leaving a trail of poo poo behind me. They are not predictable or safe.

They're probably the smartest non-primate on the savannah and many of them hate humans (for good reason). Combine that with their strength and mass and they can absolutely be a weapon of pure destruction.

Isn’t that one in musth? Looks like his temporal ducts are leaking. That’s even more terrifying.

I read that wiki article on Musth and it says the glands in their heads get so engorged that they compress their eyes and cause intense pain. So they have extremely high levels of testosterone (140 times normal levels in extreme cases), suffering from extreme pain, and have impaired vision. They were lucky that feller was so seemingly calm and gentle.

Some reading says it's a seasonal testosterone rush that doesn't match estrus cycles, so it's not necessarily part of rut. And they'll fight plenty of lady elephants too. It's hard to study cause they just fight everyone.

They are already wearing

a) high-viz

b) helmets

c) harnesses

There's a point where slapping more and more protective gear doesn't provide more safety.
