A young elephant bull charged a safari vehicle loaded with tourists in Kruger National Park, South Africa. But he quickly backed off when the vehicle didn’t move to the amusement of the tourists.

“We approached this young elephant bull busy eating some marula fruits that had fallen from the tree,” the guide Quintin van der Merwe said. “Usually, the young elephant bulls are always trying to show their power but are easily intimidated, so I never take their charges too seriously as I know they will stop."

“So I told everyone to get their cameras ready, because this young bull will probably turn and give us a warning charge,” the guide continued. “And surely he did, he came so close that his trunk actually touched the car, but just by not moving back and holding my ground, he was intimidated by the vehicle. This is always a lot of fun to see as a guide, but one must never get too comfortable around elephants, especially a fully grown bull. Always leave them space and, remember, they have right of way.”
