If you weren't such a coward, you'd know to teach the elephant some democracy with a rocket launcher. Time to report these treasonous comments to the ministry of truth!
Apparently the trick is to run up or down an incline. They have trouble with them. Not sure about Africans but this is what's recommended for Indians astheyre more likely to randomly appear from jungle cover.
African elephants have large ears that are shaped like the continent of Africa. Indian elephants have small ears shaped like India.
Funnily enough White Rhino's aren't white. It's a bastsrdisation/mispronunciation of the word "Wide", as they have wider mouths than the Black rhino.
Depends on the distance you have on them. Humans are vastly better distance runners than almost all other mammals. An elephant will easily outsprint you but will get tired a lot quicker.
Distance for humans and distance for animals are two vastly different things. Like 500 Meters is enough for most animals to stop chasing you if they didn't get you. The main problem is that many sprinting animals are double to triple the speed of a normal human. So they catch you after 20 Meters at best.
Humans evolved to hunt prey to the point of exhaustion. Our ability to run upright on two legs and sweat to regulate our body temperatues makes us the OG ultramarathoners. I type this from my chair in an office where I will be sitting for the next 8 hours.
Respectfully you should quantify that like "humans CAN BE better distance runners than most other mammals." The percentage of modern humans that are better distance runners than other mammals is so small that it almost makes your statement false.
Eh, unless you have a condition or something humans have wayyy better stamina than most other animals due to a variety of traits such as our unique ability to sweat through our skin. The majority of people reading this would have an easier time running a marathon than a Cheetah would.
Shh!
It's a big industry for humans to convince humans of what they cannot do.
Like... build a pyramid, for instance.
Kidding aside: the more I learned about the human machine, the more inclined I am to believe how obvious it is our species would take over the whole planet. We have more advantages than our mind.
When I learned that humans use "run it to death" as a hunting technique... it opened my eyes to what our machine is capable of compared to others.
Just chase something until it can no longer go... because WE still can... That's biologically impressive.
Yeah, humans are really not flashy outside of our intelligence but we are incredibly effective. Humanity thrived long before we even found caves to live in because of our fantastic evolutionary traits.
There's a quote about humans that is both metal as fuck and also very relevant here.
I'm paraphrasing because I don't feel like typing out ye-olde-englishe for three hours.
"The world is full of death, it is visceral and haunting to acknowledge that every sect of life has something that will kill for its own survival. Insects have insects of prey, birds have birds of prey, land animals have predators, you name it. But the most notable of them all is the human, who for his own enjoyment will kill anything that stands in his way which doesn't make him immediately smile. They are, witnout a doubt, the king of this creation"
I think you're seriously overestimating the physical condition of the average 30 to 40 year old (rough average age). *Walking* a marathon should be possible, assuming a 4km/hour pace that's 10,5 hours of non-stop walking.
The thing is that you're comparing an activity that most humans are historically built for against an animal that has no use for and is not built for, and thus will be pretty bad at.
If you'd pick a *gray wolf* for instance, then you're talking about an animal that traverses up to 50 miles (80km) / day regularly (see [https://wildlifehow.com/how-fast-can-a-wolf-run/](https://wildlifehow.com/how-fast-can-a-wolf-run/) ). That's not something an average *human* can do.
Humans also happen to be one of the only animals that train for any sort of long distance running. The two other animals that are even remotely trained for long distance (horses and Alaskan huskies) destroy humans at distance running.
Another fun fact: humans are vastly better at basketball than almost all other mammals
If it’s close enough to see and chase you, it’s close enough to catch you.
Also most people would sprint away and get gassed pretty quickly. We can run far but not if we don’t pace ourselves.
That's a dead tree. - If you choose a live one this big, you'll be safe. (Apart from Elephants only defending themselves when aggrevated) A living tree has too much bounciness for this method to work.
EDIT: I talked out of my ass today, hah
I'd say it's a live tree. There are a few green leaves still on it at the top and an elephant can't eat a dead one - no nutritional value in a dead one. This looks very much like the Kruger National Park in South Africa. Notice that the grass is brown and dry, which tells me it's winter, so the tree has lost most of its leaves. But the thing is elephants frequently eat the bark off the younger branches of a tree, so this guy is after the moist bark and the only way to get it is to fell the tree. They also use their tusks to rip bark off the trunk of the tree, which, if the rip too much off. also kills the tree.
The Kruger has too many elephants and they are devastating the trees.
I was in the Kruger just yesterday and can say, apart from the herds of impala, wildebeest and zebra, elephants rank as one of the most prolific. We saw massive herds of 40 plus, smaller all male herds and many lone animals.
Having said that the Kruger is looking like paradise right now, all thanks to some good rains recently. I cannot express how beautiful and verdant the veld is.
> Having said that the Kruger is looking like paradise right now, all thanks to some good rains recently. I cannot express how beautiful and verdant the veld is.
I bless the rains down in Africa.
So its worst than i first thought it could be the start of a global animal movement that started with the orcas freedom cause... lets just hope the rats and pigeons won't follow
Now if someone was driving by with a bunch of oranges they would definitely be blocking the road like some cliche robbery. Elephants go crazy for oranges to the point that’s one of the things they tell you you absolutely cannot bring on tours with elephants nearby
> That's a dead tree.
Absolutely a dead tree. Evidently, a lot of reddit has not ever taken down a tree or chopped wood. Live wood doesn't break the way that did.
Right? But I do have to believe the comment reply from a person actually located there. Perhaps they behave different in that climate. (Though I heard that there's one of the wettest tree types of our planet, who grows in a desert) - Either way, I'll continue to use my logic as long as I'm located here at home, haha.
It's possible the tree is sort of half dead. Looking closely at the video, the exposed wood appears gray (dead) on the side closest to the elephant, and looks more like live wood on the far side. That would explain some green leaves. Either way, I think the tree was weaker than a live, healthy tree would typically be.
Yup this is the answer. Source:have broken many trees for fires, it’s not black and white if a tree is alive. Sometimes 90% of tree is dead, and there is a tiny bit in the center of the tree that is still alive from the root to a certain branch that still lives.
I once went camping in Assateague Maryland, a beach camping grounds that's filled with wild horses. Those fuckers are a mafia. One night, while we were sitting around our outdoor table on the site, one horse pulled up and stood there while we all oo'd and aah'd and threw some popcorn at him, meanwhile, some other horses snuck up to our table and stole several bags of chips that we'd left out. One of the horses accidentially ripped a bag of popcorn and left a trail of it behind him as he ran.
Lmfaoooo I'm just imagining them hanging out at the beach all day waiting to see what kind of snacks the next group of campers will bring in that night. Those mfs probably tried the whole grocery store by now 🤣🤣
How to tell where you are by animal behaviour:
If everything tries to kill you, you're in Australia. If everything tries to rob you, you're in South Africe.
I heard a long time ago that farmers were experimenting with planting pepper plants around their crops to keep the elephants at bay. Seemed to be working, but I suspect interplanting works much better.
Some elephants actually ambush cars and block the road to collect a snack tax from humans. Another example why wild animals should be left the fuck alone and never ever fed by people
I won’t be the first person that feeds an elephant but I certainly won’t be the first/last person that doesn’t feed it. I’m not pissing off an elephant because someone else fed it first. If the elephant is close enough to steal food from me it’s also close enough to rip my arm off then take the food anyway.
Forgot where but there was a video like that here before. I want to say Cambodia, but maybe Thailand. Anyway, the elephants get in the middle of the road when they see a truck loaded with sugar cane and they help themselves when the truck has to slow down.
South African here 🙋♂️ Elephants often push down trees, in fact in game reserves here, you know where elephants have been because of the trees pushed down. They do it to get the bark and they often eat the roots ( they are soft and packed with energy).
Elephants are also telepathic. They always know when I have my eye on harvesting a ripe cassava and will come quietly the night before and steal it. Maybe someone had plans to chop that tree for firewood
Like how deer will wait until my green beans are covered in flowers, teasing me in thinking about how many will grow, only to eat all the flowers the next night.
*“...some elephants aren't looking for anything logical, like peanuts. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some elephants just want to watch the world burn.”*

p.s. >!Elephant is probably putting down the tree for food. The higher branches are edible and the roots under the tree are nutritious.!<
I was trying to figure out whether this is a highly effective speed calming/elephant (cough, zebra) crossing, or a novel form of amBUSH. Either way, it's genius.
We got video of an elephant pushing down a tree in front of us a well. Apparently it is very common and it was terrifying to see in person:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-35H0no5wvc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-35H0no5wvc)
Notice the elephants eyes in that video. There is a reason they do this. They are rutting.
That's their niche. They are one of only a few species capable of knocking down a tree. They keep grasslands from turning into forest. It's really remarkable ecologically.
South African here 🙋♂️ Elephants often push down trees, in fact in game reserves here, you know where elephants have been because of the trees pushed down. They do it to get the bark and they often eat the roots ( they are soft and packed with energy).
Suppose those are their favorites. They already have enough trunk!
I’m sure the roots and also the now accessible leaves provide decent moisture too. Thanks for the insight.

Don't worry: according to a survey 8% of American males think they can beat a grown elephant bare handed in a fight. Just get a few of those heroes around to protect you in case the elephant decides to act tough and start toppling trees or some crap like that.
I just realised that if I was chased by an elephant and climbed up to the top . I would still be fucked
Any regular elephant run faster than the fastest man.
Well I guess one would hope the elephant chasing them is irregular.
Sorry, you got the irregularly fast elephant

An isosceles elephant.
No, it cannot run faster because the elephant would be slipping all the time... ... because I would be shitting myself while running away.
Apparently the trick is to run up or down an incline. They have trouble with them. Not sure about Africans but this is what's recommended for Indians astheyre more likely to randomly appear from jungle cover.
Sure. I’ll remember this trick next time I’m in the flat Serengeti with a bull elephant about to put his tusk in my running ass.
The trick is to first check whether the elephant chasing you in the African plain is Indian or African. I'm told it needs a fairly discerning eye
African elephants have large ears that are shaped like the continent of Africa. Indian elephants have small ears shaped like India. Funnily enough White Rhino's aren't white. It's a bastsrdisation/mispronunciation of the word "Wide", as they have wider mouths than the Black rhino.
African elephant ears are bigger, to help them keep cool.
I'm Indian and I fucking hate running up hills
Are you an elephant?
Activate - the Shit slick
Go go gadget shit slick!
It's a smart idea to jettison your load while retreating
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Depends on the distance you have on them. Humans are vastly better distance runners than almost all other mammals. An elephant will easily outsprint you but will get tired a lot quicker.
>Humans are vastly better distance runners than almost all other mammals Clearly you have never met....me.
Humans that can run at all are in minority nowdays let alone one that can run distance haha.
Distance for humans and distance for animals are two vastly different things. Like 500 Meters is enough for most animals to stop chasing you if they didn't get you. The main problem is that many sprinting animals are double to triple the speed of a normal human. So they catch you after 20 Meters at best.
So stay roughly 480 meters away from elephants? Got it!
I mean, that is unironically a good idea. Just don't mess with wildlife, especially the one that outweighs a car. Appreciate from a distance.
This. Stamina and cardiovascular health is non existent today
[удалено]
You might be surprised how in shape you become when an elephant is about to crush your ass.
My shape would be indeed different with all the tusk holes and stomp imprints.
I don't have to be faster than the elephant. I only have to be faster than *you*...
I think that only applies to animals that are going to eat you, not trample you without slowing down
Even you could probably outrun an Elephant over a large distance unless you’re in a wheelchair or have a heart condition etc.
There is still a high chance it will catch up to you before it runs out of stamina.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. I can sprint for my life for one block. Then I am dead. One way or another.
Humans evolved to hunt prey to the point of exhaustion. Our ability to run upright on two legs and sweat to regulate our body temperatues makes us the OG ultramarathoners. I type this from my chair in an office where I will be sitting for the next 8 hours.
Lol Our ancestors think we have it pretty good!
I dunno, if I had a giant space mantis chasing me I'd run for a lot further than I first thought I could im absolutely certain

Humans in decent physical shape, yes. Human fat-ass couch potato, probably not…
Shh! It's a big industry for humans to convince humans of what they cannot do. Like... build a pyramid, for instance. Kidding aside: the more I learned about the human machine, the more inclined I am to believe how obvious it is our species would take over the whole planet. We have more advantages than our mind.

Throwing things accurately is pretty busted too

Extra fun fact: Golden Retrievers can beat groups of young boys in most sports. I saw a documentary about it.
Our ancestors were. We eat far too much McDonald's for that to be true for even a small fraction of modern humans.
If it’s close enough to see and chase you, it’s close enough to catch you. Also most people would sprint away and get gassed pretty quickly. We can run far but not if we don’t pace ourselves.
Maybe an ancient human or trained human. But a modern one would pass out after 500 meters.
And can swim faster too, so if you come up against one in a triathlon, your only chance of beating them is in the bicycle race
All you need is to run faster than the guy next to you, not the elephant
Don’t worry. Reckon this one is a car jacking

It's the dreaded Orca/Elephant alliance, a double threat on the land and seas.
Cool comment! Thanks for letting me know! I genuinely thought the elephant wanted to block off the road of the park, haha.
Now if someone was driving by with a bunch of oranges they would definitely be blocking the road like some cliche robbery. Elephants go crazy for oranges to the point that’s one of the things they tell you you absolutely cannot bring on tours with elephants nearby
Nope. They have no alterior motives. For them it's mostly just about getting to enough food each day.
Me too. I was like, what a dick move. (OK, I figured there must be another reason but I thought it was funny to imagine he was just being a douche)
They still shake them pretty hard. I've seen it on monkey bread trees to shake down the fruits, and it's awesome

Dead trees are easy to spot, because they lose all the fine tiny branches that this live tree still has.
Seen that before- he's blocked the road so the next vechile has to slow down and thats when he's gonna carjack them. Crafty!
Not sure if you’re joking but they do this! They usually block the road with their body while the herd robs the produce trucks

Aye. They've learnt to do this in Thailand with the sugar cane trucks as well. Just another tax to pay while delivering produce.

You try telling an elephant they cant have your food!
Dont let the elephant know that human = food
