Can an elephant survive without half of its trunk lost in a poacher's wire snare?

Description English / Français
The Chinese have always appreciated ivory sculptures as well as ivory jewellery that only the upper bourgeoisie could buy. In traditional Chinese medicine, ivory is used from time to time. The significant development of this country has enabled a larger proportion of the population to buy ivory objects.
African people living in forest areas have always eaten small game caught by trapping. As the population is now concentrated in large cities, it have switched to imported frozen meat (beef/sheep/chicken), cheaper than poached game, although many people enjoy " Bush meat ".
To ensure its economic development, China has significant needs in raw materials and therefore many Chinese companies have established themselves in Africa to extract minerals and exploit wood.
The important demand for ivory, the very important presence of Chinese-people in the forests of Central Africa, some poachers have switched from small game to elephant and its tusks: a more profitable trapping opportunity!
They set snares (nooses) made of wire or steel cables that penetrate deep into the animal's flesh, desperately trying to free themselves. Some elephants succeed but unfortunately the snare and parts of the cable remain tighten around a leg or trunk whose part under the snare is no longer supplied with blood.
The tip of the trunk finally drops off. This appendage is equipped with two fingers (one in Asian elephants) allowing:
- to pull out clumps of grass, shake them all the sand off and put them in his mouth.
- to remove the leaves from the branches with a precise gesture and place the young leaves in its mouth
- to pick up fruits that has fallen on the ground or on fruit trees and send it into his mouth
This trunk also allows him to suck water from the rivers and discharge it into his mouth.
How did this old elephant without a trunk tip could survive?
- drinking water with his mouth in deeper creeks?
- tearing off with his lips the vegetation in front of his mouth or the vegetation on the ground by kneeling on his front legs?
In Gabon, where a large number of elephants have been killed in recent years, the Agence Nationale des Parcs Nationaux (ANPN) has dismantled many ivory trafficking networks, the largest of which, during this recent Nzok operation (= elephant), is expected to increase the maximum sentence for ivory trafficking (actually 6 months).
Watch my videos of elephants that managed to destroy the wire snare without keeping a noose around their feet. Thanks to their extensive knowledge of how to care for their deep wounds, they were able to heal.

At the end of 2020, he still triggers our photo traps.
Depuis toujours les chinois apprécient les sculptures et bijoux en ivoire que seule la haute bourgeoisie pouvait s’offrir. Le développement de leur pays a permis à une part plus importante de la population d’en posséder.
Depuis toujours les africains habitants dans les forêts se sont nourri de petit gibier attrapé par piégeage. La population se concentrant maintenant dans de grande ville, elle s’est tournée vers des produits carnés surgelés moins chers que le gibier braconné même si nombreux, sont ceux qui apprécient la « viande de brousse ».
La Chine ayant besoin de matières premières pour assurer son essor économique, de nombreuses sociétés chinoises se sont implantées en Afrique pour exploiter des minerais et du bois.
L’importante demande d’ivoire et la présence de nombreux chinois dans les forêts d’Afrique Centrale ont conduit certains braconniers à piéger l’éléphant pour son ivoire.
Ils posent des pièges avec un nœud coulant en fils de fer ou en câbles d’acier qui pénètrent profondément la chaire des éléphants lorsqu’ils tentent de se libérer. Certains y réussissent mais beaucoup conservent le collet et une partie de câble autour d’une patte ou de la trompe dont la partie sous le nœud n’est plus alimentée en sang.
Le bout de la trompe finit par tomber. A son extrémité, ce membre est muni de deux doigts (un chez l’éléphant d’Asie) permettant
- d’arracher des mottes d’herbe, de les secouer pour enlever le sable et de les mettre dans sa gueule.
- d’effeuiller les rameaux d’un geste précis et déposer les jeunes feuilles dans sa gueule
- de saisir les fruits tombés au sol et de les envoyer dans sa gueule
Cette trompe lui permet aussi d’aspirer l’eau des rivières et de la rejeter dans sa gueule.
Comment ce vieil éléphant amputé a-t-il pu survivre :
- buvant l’eau avec la bouche dans des rivières ?
- arrachant avec ses lèvres la végétation se trouvant à la hauteur de sa gueule ou celle se trouvant au sol en s’agenouillant sur les pattes avant ?
Au Gabon, la peine maximale actuelle pour trafic d’ivoire est de 6 mois.
Regardez mes vidéos d’éléphants ayant réussi à casser les câbles du piège sans garder de collet autour du pied. Ils ont pu guérir ! Fin 2020 il vit encore !

[@jlau-piegesvideos2172]

Quelle chaîne originale ! Bravo pour cette vidéo et l’idée des miroirs est formidable

[@XHB06400CANNES]

*D'où nous est venue l'idée des miroirs ?* Mon épouse et moi sommes, ni photographes professionnels, ni scientifiques, ni vétérinaires. Nous voulions remercier le Gabon, nous ayant accueilli pendant plus de 35 ans dans le secteur de la grande distribution, en montrant sur KZbin la diversité de la faune de ce beau pays et donner envie aux internautes de le visiter. Nos premières vidéos diffusées sur notre chaîne KZbin montraient essentiellement des animaux sauvages "passant" devant les objectifs de nos caméras pièges équipées de détecteurs de mouvement : La marche d'un éléphant devant l'objectif d'un piège pendant une vingtaine de secondes n'est pas particulièrement intéressante. Par contre une vidéo de jeunes éléphants jouant dans une rivière pendant que les adultes étanchent leur soif est beaucoup plus agréable à regarder : kzbin.info/www/bejne/aompmIWhiMaYitU *Pour trouver de tels "spots", il convient de s'éloigner du sentier emprunté par les quelques véhicules 4x4 de Nyonié (camp à 30 km de notre zone de piégeage), pour s'enfoncer plus profondément dans la forêt et remonter les rivières en marchant dans leur lit. Cela n’est pas sans danger surtout lorsque l’on est âgé.* Pour progresser plus facilement dans la forêt, les animaux utilisent le sentier des tout-terrains, sans lianes, sans buissons, sans ronces et sans arbres entremêlés au sol, suite aux très nombreuses tornades dans cette région à cheval sur la ligne de l’équateur. Alors, Il nous est venu l’idée de placer de très grands miroirs au bout d’une longue ligne droite afin d’attirer leur curiosité et de les « bloquer » devant leur reflet. Nous avons également placé d’autres miroirs sous des arbres dont nombreux animaux apprécient les fruits. A d’autres emplacements au milieu de la forêt, il eut fallu beaucoup de chance pour que les animaux croisent leur reflet ! Notre utilisation des miroirs a suscité un grand intérêt chez les primatologues, notamment les membres du PSG, non pas le club de football du Paris Saint Germain, mais le Primate Specialist Group (Groupe des spécialistes de primates), qui n'avaient étudié la reconnaissance de soi dans un miroir chez les grands singes que dans des laboratoires avec des animaux captifs ou nés en captivité, habitués au contact avec l'homme. Ces animaux, imitant parfois l'homme, n'avaient pas à chercher de nourriture, à défendre leur famille contre d'autres congénères et prédateurs, avaient donc des comportements déformés, très différents de ceux des primates vivant en toute liberté avec leur groupe ou leur famille dans une zone reculée de la forêt gabonaise. Nos caméras ont mis en évidence un comportement très particulier chez les chimpanzés de la région de Nyonié et cela ont donné lieu à une publication scientifique, "Reflections in rainforest mirrors facilitate behavioral observations of wild chimpanzees Primates n°58 2017-01". Ce comportement est filmé sur nos trois vidéos suivantes : kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqWweJaCp7ZkaKc (Frottement de la croupe chez les chimpanzés = effet anti-stress ? Un comportement social jamais observé auparavant) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqfPmoekf5yCotE (des chimpanzés effrayés se rassurent avec des contacts de pseudo-copulation et de rump-to-rump devant le miroir) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnrXfKmNZs-ag80 (Chimpanzees front of a Mirror in the Gabon Jungle Grooming Power displays Copulation, Grooming again) Regardez nos autres vidéos de la chaine et n'oubliez pas à chaque fois de lire la description qui y est jointe après celle en anglais.

Snares are almost always an illegal device, and cruel beyond belief.

*นี่คือวิธีที่เราเกิดแนวคิดในการติดกระจกบานใหญ่ในป่าดงดิบของกาบอง:* ผมกับภรรยาไม่ใช่ทั้งนักวิทยาศาสตร์ สัตวแพทย์ นักวานรวิทยา หรือช่างภาพ *เราขอขอบคุณกาบองที่ต้อนรับครอบครัวของเรามากว่า 35 ปี (ในภาคการค้าปลีก) เพื่อแสดงบน KZbin ถึงความหลากหลายของสัตว์ประจำถิ่นของประเทศที่สวยงามแห่งนี้ และทำให้ผู้ใช้อินเทอร์เน็ตอยากไปเยี่ยมชม* ครั้งแรกของเรา วิดีโอที่โพสต์บนช่อง KZbin ของเราโดยพื้นฐานแล้วแสดงให้เห็นสัตว์ป่า "เดินผ่าน" หน้าเลนส์ของกล้องดักของเราที่ติดตั้งอุปกรณ์ตรวจจับความเคลื่อนไหว: การที่ช้างเดินผ่านหน้าเป้าหมายของกับดักเป็นเวลาประมาณ 20 วินาทีนั้นไม่น่าสนใจเป็นพิเศษ ในทางกลับกัน วิดีโอของช้างหนุ่มที่เล่นน้ำในแม่น้ำขณะที่ผู้ใหญ่กำลังดับกระหายน้ำนั้นดูสนุกกว่ามาก kzbin.info/www/bejne/aompmIWhiMaYitU ลูกช้างสนุกสนานระหว่างข้ามห้วย (ป่ากาบอง) หากต้องการค้นหา "จุด" ดังกล่าว ขอแนะนำให้ออกห่างจากเส้นทางที่ใช้โดยรถ 4x4 ไม่กี่คันของNyonié เพื่อเข้าไปในป่าให้ลึกขึ้นและเดินไปตามลำห้วยและแม่น้ำสายเล็กๆ สิ่งนี้ไม่ปลอดภัย โดยเฉพาะเมื่อคุณแก่และหูหนวกบางส่วน โชคดีที่ภรรยาของฉันมีการได้ยินที่แม่นยำมาก เพื่อให้เดินทางในป่าได้ง่ายขึ้น สัตว์ต่างๆ จะใช้เส้นทางออฟโรดนี้ โดยไม่มีเถาวัลย์ พุ่มไม้ พุ่มไม้หนาม และต้นไม้ปะปนอยู่บนพื้นดิน เนื่องจากมีพายุทอร์นาโดจำนวนมากในบริเวณนี้บนเส้นศูนย์สูตร เราเกิดแนวคิดที่จะวางกระจกบานใหญ่ไว้ที่ปลายเส้นตรงยาวของสนามแข่งแบบออฟโรดเพื่อดึงดูดสายตาของพวกเขาและ "บัง" กระจกเหล่านั้นไว้ข้างหน้าภาพของพวกเขา เรายังวางกระจกอื่นๆ ไว้ใต้ต้นไม้ซึ่งมีสัตว์มากมายชื่นชมผลไม้ ในสถานที่อื่นๆ กลางป่า คงจะโชคดีมากที่สัตว์ต่างๆ ได้พบกับเงาสะท้อนของมัน การใช้กระจกของเราเป็นที่สนใจของนักไพรมาโทโลยี รวมถึงสมาชิกของ PSG ไม่ใช่สโมสรฟุตบอลปารีส แซงต์ แชร์กแมง แต่เป็นกลุ่มผู้เชี่ยวชาญด้านไพรเมต ซึ่งสามารถศึกษาการจดจำตนเองในกระจกในห้องทดลองของลิงใหญ่เท่านั้น กับสัตว์ที่ถูกกักขังหรือสัตว์ที่เกิดในที่กักขังเคยติดต่อกับมนุษย์. สัตว์เหล่านี้ไม่ต้องออกหาอาหาร ปกป้องครอบครัวจากสัตว์ร่วมสกุลและผู้ล่าอื่นๆ บางครั้งก็เลียนแบบมนุษย์ ดังนั้นจึงมีพฤติกรรมที่ผิดเพี้ยนแตกต่างจากไพรเมตที่อาศัยอยู่ร่วมกับฝูงหรือครอบครัวอย่างอิสระในพื้นที่ห่างไกลของป่ากาบอง กล้องของเราได้เน้นย้ำถึงพฤติกรรมเฉพาะของลิงชิมแปนซีในภูมิภาค Nyonié และส่งผลให้มีการตีพิมพ์ทางวิทยาศาสตร์ "ภาพสะท้อนในกระจกของป่าดงดิบช่วยอำนวยความสะดวกในการสังเกตพฤติกรรมของลิงชิมแปนซีป่า Primates n°58 2017-01" ในสองวิดีโอต่อไปนี้ของเรามีการบันทึกพฤติกรรมนี้: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqWweJaCp7ZkaKc (ถูตะโพกตะโพกในลิงชิมแปนซี = เอฟเฟกต์ต่อต้านความเครียด? พฤติกรรมทางสังคมที่เคยสังเกตมาก่อน) และ kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqfPmoekf5yCotE ( ชิมแปนซีที่หวาดกลัวจะสร้างความมั่นใจให้ตัวเองด้วยการมีเพศสัมพันธ์หลอกๆ และสัมผัสตะโพกที่หน้ากระจก) นี่เป็นวิธีที่เราค้นพบโดยบังเอิญในสัตว์ป่า และเริ่มสนใจการจดจำตนเองของพวกมันในกระจกเต็มตัวบานใหญ่ของเรา ดูวิดีโอโฮมเมดของฉัน (180 ชิ้น) ที่ฉันใส่ออนไลน์ในช่องของฉันและอ่านคำอธิบายที่แนบมากับวิดีโอแต่ละรายการ คุณจะทราบคำอธิบายที่น่าสนใจเกี่ยวกับปฏิกิริยาของสัตว์หน้ากระจกของฉันในป่าและแชร์ลิงก์กับเพื่อนของคุณ: kzbin.infovideos

Salut mon pote, comment vas-tu ? S'il vous plaît, vous pouvez demander la suppression de la mention copyright, je retirerai la vidéo ou si vous préférez je mettrai même le générique, ma chaîne a déjà une notice, je vous demande de m'aider s'il vous plait !

Some follower made a comment replying to my last comment for you This is a copy of his comment 😅 : Clover Dunn : Makyhs Makyhs ? I'm sure that's easy to say living thousands of miles away from elephants and the dangers they bring. I'm assuming your American. I guarantee you would feel different if you had to live under the threat of these things raiding your village or crops. If you had a family to feed and had very little in life you would protect those crops with everything you got especially these enourmous eating machinrs which can do lots of damage leaving your family hungry. It's important to see a problem from all sides.

Bonjour Monsieur, j'ai reçu un avertissement de votre chaîne, Ma chaîne est un contenu éducatif, Et mon intention n'est pas copiée tes vidéos Dans cette vidéo, j'ai expliqué pourquoi les animaux se comportent étrangement lorsqu'ils voient un miroir, c'est-à-dire quelles réactions chimiques se produisent dans leur cerveau, et j'ai utilisé un clip de 5 secondes seulement 😥 Alors monsieur, veuillez retirer la grève, Et pls laissez-moi savoir comment puis-je résoudre ce problème, Monsieur pour cette vidéo copiée, je paierai un certain montant en tant que frais de dommages causés par moi😥

What happened to that strike

This channel is such an amazing resource! I wish the camera team all the best. Also, I think I have seen this video before, but I enjoy seeing it again

*_Your comment is a great moral booster after reading comments calling for the dismantling of these cruel mirrors!_* *Your feedback on my channel encourages us to pursue our overwhelming and somewhat dangerous passion. It is a great reward for my wife Anne-Marie, my friend Michel and me. As you may have noticed we are not comfortably sitting in our armchairs, to publish without any description, pieces of videos copied from the Internet and put end to end. But we maintain our mirrors and numerous cameras traps, to change the SD, batteries, to clean the objectives, to remove the fallen branches in their field of vision, to go up on foot the bed of the marigots to find zones of crossing of animals to install new traps there etc... Drenched by tornadoes, the body covered with insect bites of all kinds (horseflies, gorilla flies, tsetse, black ants, magnan ants etc.) and unfortunately the number of cameras refusing to work increases because of the humidity rate of 95%. Then we do the editing of the videos and write a long description in English which is not our native language (french) and then put them online to show the beauty of Gabonese fauna, talk about poachers, show how elephants who have managed to get away from a wire snare trap, treat the deep cut made by this trap, show how elephants pick mangos, self recognition in mirrors that is not innate both among humans than among primates and other mammals and so on... and answer to numerous comments posted on my channel* It's a choice.. Watch more of my 180 videos published on my channel kzbin.infovideos and read the description attached to each of them. You will find very interesting information about the reactions of the animals in front of my mirrors in the gabonese jungle: Good vision! *May I suggest you some of my homemade-made videos from my channel which have never been recommended by KZbin and which unfortunately have a very small number of views even though they are very instructive such as:* First mud bath of an cute new born elephant with her mom and aunts: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKHNYomcoLN9iZY Fresh Water from Creeks triggers the urge to urinate in wild mammals: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ep3YenSvbNBjopo Can an elephant survive without half of its trunk lost in a poacher's wire snare? kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6CcmIqfbdWNp6c Before buying ivory jewellery or carved ivory objects: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJPYhZ1tpbOpfq8 and unfortunately there are many others in this case!

Why have uploads become so irregular? Also, have you considered fixing a smartphone with games installed to one side of the mirror?

*After reading numerous comments calling for the dismantling of these cruel mirrors,* I have no desire to try such an experiment just to publish a video in order to amuse some Internet users and risk causing animals to be traumatized and may be my mirrors to be broken. Watch more of my 180 homemade videos published on my channel kzbin.infovideos and read the description attached to each of them. You will find very interesting information about the reactions of the animals in front of my mirrors in the gabonese jungle: Good vision! Here are the GPS points of these mirrors: number 1: S 00+06'40,6" E009+21'40,4" number 2: S 00+06'40,7" E009+21'41,8" number 3: S 00+06'47,5" E009+22'08,9" number 6: S 00+05'41,1" E009+19'45,1" Have a nice trip!

You prefer to promote the English language rather than the beautiful language of Molière. Shame on you. Quel dommage pour de si belles vidéos.

[@XHB06400CANNES]

*De si belles vidéos sont malheureusement sans grande utilité pour promouvoir la langue de Molière ! Par contre la langue de Shakespeare, comprise par une part importante des KZbinurs, est d'une grande utilité pour promouvoir mes belles vidéos et apporter dans mes descriptions, des informations complémentaires aux images : **_Honte à vous !_* Par la moindre création sur votre chaine dont l'ouverture remonte à 2017 : *La critique aisée mais art difficile (Philippe Néricault)*
