Elephants attack infrared trap cameras in the jungle 𝐑.𝐈.𝐏. 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐬

Description: English / Français 𝐑.𝐈.𝐏. 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐬
The rainforest supports a wide range of wildlife, including birds, snakes, insects, mammals, etc. This fauna is divided into diurnal animals, active mainly during the day like primates and most birds and nocturnal animals active mainly at night like rats, porcupines or some antelopes like the water chevrotain. In order to be able to film this fauna day and night, some trap cameras equipped with an infrared flash can be used. When they detect motion in their field of vision, they start up for a settable length and take color images. If the brightness is not enough, their flash is activated to shower the scene in infrared light and capture black and white images.
With these cameras working day and night, we discover that there are also animals active both in the day and at night like elephants. These mammals only sleep whilst standing in a series of naps of a few minutes that do not exceed 4 to 5 hours in 24 hours.
At night they attacked the first infrared trap cameras set up and then quickly realized that these lights were safe,
These infrared flashes revealed that for some of them, during combat, an eye had been gouged out because it was no longer shining. This is the case, in this video, of this male with the end of his left tusk broken (a fighter???) or of this one-eyed male, not disturbed by infrared, who mows at night the grass growing in front of our mirrors • a one-eyed elephant mo...

La forêt vierge abrite une large gamme de faune, notamment des oiseaux, des serpents, des insectes, des mammifères etc. Cette faune se divise entre les animaux diurnes, actifs essentiellement le jour comme les primates et la majorité des oiseaux et d'autre part les animaux nocturnes, actifs essentiellement la nuit comme les rats, les porcs épics ou certaines antilopes comme par exemple le chevrotain aquatique. Afin de pouvoir filmer, de jour comme de nuit cette faune, on peut utiliser certaines caméras pièges équipées d'un flash infrarouge. Lorsqu'elles détectent un mouvement dans leur champ de vision, elle se mettent en route pour un durée programmable et prennent des images en couleur. Si la luminosité est insuffisante, leur flash s'allume afin d'inonder la scène avec des infrarouges et prendre des images en noir et blanc.
Avec ces caméras travaillant jour et nuit, on découvre qu'il y a également des animaux, à la fois diurnes et nocturnes, comme les éléphants. Ces mammifères dorment, debout, que pendant des séries de siestes de quelques minutes n'excédent au total pas plus de 4 à 5 heures en 24 heures.
La nuit, ils attaquèrent les premières caméras pièges infrarouges mises en place puis rapidement ils comprirent que ces lumières étaient sans danger.
Ces flashs infrarouges ont permis de constater que pour certains d'entre eux, lors de combat, un œil avait été crevé car il ne brillait plus. C'est le cas, dans cette vidéo, de ce mâle avec l'extrémité de sa défense gauche cassée (un bagarreur ??) ou de ce mâle borgne, non perturbé par les infrarouges, qui tond la nuit l'herbe poussant devant nos miroirs • a one-eyed elephant mo...

These elephants are sick of privacy invasions. I love the gesture the one at 0:13 makes with its trunk as if to say: "Eh, forget it. Screw you and your camera." 😆😆

I didn’t know they could see infrared light

[@XHB06400CANNES]

An infrared flash is going to produce a black and white picture and will be visible in the dark. It produces a dull red glow that is not bright enough to catch your attention in the dark but if you looked right at it, it would be visible. A No-Glow flash is going to produce a black and white picture and will NOT be visible in the dark. It produces no visible light unless you are very close to the camera and will be nearly invisible in the dark. (Stealthcam trapcamera Manufacture). Infrared flashes provide much clearer, sharper and more contrasting images than flashes without glow. Although infrared is visible, wild animals get accustomed to it (see my explanation attached to my video)Keep watching the other videos on my channel kzbin.infovideos May I invite you to watch especially those that unfortunately have a very small number of views and are very informative like: 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 Eaters of waterlilies: Buffalo, Elephant, Sitatunga: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXqraGmjfq6imJY 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!

[@bethisway]

That's fucked up. They can see the red at night. Facts. It's bright and probably bothers them. Hence why they are trying to knock it down.

[@XHB06400CANNES]

There are "black-flash" trap cameras that are totally invisible at night to the eyes of humans and animals. However, when they film, their batteries emit infrasounds that make the elephants angry because they perceive them.

[@tinkmarshino]

WOW Xavier why do you think they attacked the camera.. that one I saw was in musth (an we all know those big boy will hit anything that bothers them ) Do you think they smelled humans or could it be they can see some IR? either way that was something.. when those guys got to move something it's moved.. ButI am not surprise your cameras stood the test.. you have been doing this a few days now ;-) Great show.. stay safe and carry on!

[@XHB06400CANNES]

Only the fourth elephant is in musth. These infrared rays are visible to humans and animals and therefore to elephants. However, there are "black flash" cameras whose glow is not visible to humans and animals but whose light level is often not enough. My cameras are all protected by steel security boxes, please watch my video kzbin.info/www/bejne/naeQlnmrnNB5npo Finally, I didn't clearly understand your last question: Do you want to know how long I've been photo-trapped with my wife? If that is the case, we started in 2009.

@@XHB06400CANNES My last question was actually a joke.. I know you have been doing this for a long time and your experience doing this is part of the reason you can build a cage for your camera as strong as you do.. That's ok.. I have to explain my jokes to my wife to.. and she is american like me!.. Maybe it is in my delivery.. oh well.. I so enjoy your videos.. always something to see and to learn.. thanks my friend!

@@tinkmarshino Sorry because my language knowledge in English does not always allow me to recognize a joke in a comment. I don't build my security boxes but I buy them from CAMLOCKbox, an US manufacturer in Northeast Wisconsin specialized in security enclosures for the main trail cameras models on the market.

Elephant retaliates against humans?

[@hondacivic6260]

Does the cameras make clicks when taking photos or when motion is detected to start filming ?

[@XHB06400CANNES]

The first cameras when taking a picture emitted a noise due to the shutter mechanism or the movement of the mirror (reflex camera). When digital cameras have been invented, an audible signal has been provided to inform the photographer when a digital file is taken because these cameras no longer contain mechanical parts. The digital trap cameras were automatically triggered when a movement was detected in their field of vision, so without any intervention from a human, there was no reason to provide an audible signal that could also alarm the animals. Hit the “show more “ option, I attach a description with more information to each of my 150 videos published on my channel. kzbin.infovideos

What’s it like in Gabon? You live there right?

[@XHB06400CANNES]

My wife and I are French people born in Africa (Senegal & Congo Brazzaville). We went to school in Africa and did our higher studies in France and then all our professional career, first in West Africa and then in Gabon. For twelve years we have been retired in France and regularly return to Nyonié for the maintenance of mirrors and cameras. We are neither scientists nor veterinarians. We wanted to thank Gabon, which has welcomed our family for more than 35 years, to show on KZbin the diversity of the fauna of this beautiful country and to make Internet users want to visit it. Our first videos posted on our KZbin channel essentially showed wildlife "passing" in front of the lenses of our trap cameras equipped with motion detectors: The passage of an elephant in front of the objective of a trap for about twenty seconds is not particularly interesting. On the other hand, a video of young elephants playing in a river while adults are quenching their thirst is much more enjoyable to watch. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5zQgXWiabODrJo (In Gabon front of trap cameras, elephants crossing Ndouni River). To find such "spots" it is advisable to get further away from the path used by the few 4x4 vehicles of Nyonié, to go deeper into the forest and to walk in the beds of creeks and small rivers. This is not safe, especially when you are old. To progress more easily in the forest, animals use this off-road trail, without vines, bushes, brambles and trees mixed on the ground because of the very numerous tornadoes in this region on the Equator line. We came up with the idea of placing very large mirrors at the end of a long straight line of an off-road track to catch their eyes and "block" them in front of their image. We have also placed other mirrors under trees where numerous animals appreciate the fruits. At other locations in the middle of the forest it would have been very lucky for animals to meet their reflection.

[@XHB06400CANNES]

There have been lions in Gabon only in the eastern region with high dalles covered with savannah and gallery forests. The last one was killed near the town of Moanda around 1980. In central and western Gabon, covered by a dense rainforest, lions cannot live there.

C'est du solide vos caméras non ? Je suppose que les coups de trompe doivent quand même faire des dégâts même si ils n'ont pas l'air très puissant

[@XHB06400CANNES]

Toutes mes caméras sont placées dans des caissons en acier propres à chaque modèle de caméra. Chacun d'eux comporte en façade trois ouvertures pour permettre à son détecteur de mouvement de fonctionner, à l'objectif de filmer la scène et aux infra-rouges d'inonder le champ de vision la nuit. La malchance est lorsqu'une défense frappe une de ces ouvertures. Sur les caissons acier il est prévu également des petites ouvertures pour passer un cadenas antivol type de vélo pour enserrer le caisson avec sa caméra à l'arbre sur lequel le caisson est vissé. Si un tel antivol est inutile dans la région reculée du Gabon où je piège, ces orifices permettent aux mouches maçonnes d'y nidifier à l'abri des intempéries.

Male elephant in musth?

[@XHB06400CANNES]

Musth is characterized in the elephant by a thick tar-like secretion coming out of the temporal orifices. It results in aggressive behaviour. Only the last elephant in the 1:11 video is in musth.
