If all the vehicles had just stayed still the elephant would have passed them by without incident. All of them reversing away like that was just complicating his exit from the waterhole and making him uneasy. The big bulls are normally real gentlemen its the cows with calves people need to steer clear of.

I think by the time the elephant saw the bus as a living thing, the best thing to do would be move away so at least it's clear you aren't trying to challenge the elephant. I don't know, just guessing...

I've experienced elephants doing this sort of thing with a bus I was on in Kruger. There, the elephant was a lone, large bull. He causally walked at our bus head-on and then, at the last instant, slowly 'charged' the bus with the ears out. When the ears are out, I have been told that it is a false charge (head lowered and ears back is presumably a for-real charge). The elephant seen in this clip, like the Kruger elephant, appears to be having fun intimidating folks. Bet he's done this before!

Pfft . . that elephant wasn't charging that bus - he was trying to get through the traffic jam - I count at least 7 vehicles. Notice how he stops when they do? But it does look like he's learned he can make cars back up. He should call for the baboons - now they can inflict some serious damage ripping bits off your vehicle.
