In South Africa I was told once “the elephant is the real king of the jungle - but because they aren’t predators and eat meat, they aren’t ‘seen that way by people.’” And that totally solidified that for me watching the lions scurry away when they saw the elephants coming. Elephants are amazing

I mean if it was 1, I could maybe see the lions trying to do something....but the fact there was like a dozen of them, they definitely pissed right off. But yeah in a fight they have tusks to gore with, a trunk to bonk with and just sheer mass and strength to do whatever the hell they want with. I'd fear them too if I was another species of animal.

It depends on what lens you look at it from. Sure the Elephant is the most powerful animal, similar to tigers in India - where Lions also reside in certain areas - but the symbolism of the Male Lion’s purpose in nature is to do nothing but fight for his legacy. When Bull Elephants and Male Tigers come of age - they leave their respective families, and largely live lives of solitude. Kings of their own domains. When Male Lions come of age, they’re forced to leave their families but the have this drive to create one or conquer one - and lead it. Legacy. Kings of their own dynasty. A dynasty that functions as one of the strongest groups in the domain. That’s why people have always seen the Lion as the king of the jungle - because we’re social animals just like them. Never been the strongest animal individually but as a group we can conquer anything - and for much of history we’ve had strong males lead the way. Humans and lions share that in common.

The elephant at first charged at the lions , drove them away and then tried to help the Rhino get out of the pit. This shows that these animals have empathy and understanding too. The rituals they perform on the skeletal remains of their dead one also indicates that they are very intelligent animals.

Omg what if the rhino just gave up and said "Go, it's ok my friend..." type thing 😢 I'm not ashamed to say tears were shed every time I watched that, rooting for the "best" outcome.. then having to accept the circle of life. The lions are able to feed their family. Nature is undoubtedly raw.

Guarding their young like that is standard procedure for elephants. They will also protect weaker or injured individuals like that as well. The one who came to assist was most likely the troop leader. (I can't tell for sure though because of the camera cuts.) Most elephant herds are females too as they're matriarchal, so it was probably the big momma coming out trying to get the rhino out of the mud.

Nature teaches compassion? What? That is a good way to lead someone to their death. Nature is brutal because it is complexity happening at every moment. It's fine to humanize an instance and call it sweet, but there is a reason the human species developed tools, defenses, societies, and amenities. Nature is literally brutal, raw existence and it doesn't teach kindness. It hardens dwellers and they either survive by becoming intelligent to nature's brutality or they become a tiny speck of darwinism that happened in the great procession of existence marching on. Let's not confuse people and make them think Nature is just waiting for them with a big warm hug. Nature is not kind. Nature is Nature.

Agree I could not stand by and watch this filming. And why didn't the other elephants try to help? I feel so bad for that poor rhino. I know everyone's going to say it's nature but still if you happen to be there, I think you have an obligation to help. Just my opinion don't bother to come for me.

I love elephants this showed their unity in not only saving the rhino but how the others elephants protected the small ones. Absolutely beautiful. Felt bad for the rhino, elephant tried and tried. Animals seem to have it together better than us humans no matter their breed when it comes to doing the right thing! Curious thought; the taping of this…is it for safety to watch them? Forgive my negligence I really would like to know…

@JimKalpa-qd9zr 10 ай бұрын

Yea, I like their commercials on saving elephants, rhinos and others, but sit there and talk about nature taking its course. If it's a rare animal or is in trouble you just sit there and let it suffer? I have seen many rescues of whales, horses, and many others...any decent person would do so out of compassion. But animal rights frauds are POS. THEY PREY ON PEOPLES COMPASSION FOR MONEY. THEY CARE NOTHING FOR ANIMALS...ITS A MONEY MAKING SKEEM.

@richardmiller3146 11 ай бұрын

To those saying it was annoyed with the rhino. If it was annoyed it would have been trumpeting ar the edge of the watering hole and flapping it's ears. This elephant let out some blasts of trumpet sounds out of frustration of not being able to lift or push the rhino to safety. It tried using its trunk, it's rear legs and front leg to push the animal to safety. It gets a solid A- for effort.

Normally the elephants could easily be hostile to the rhino, but elephants are very smart and that one clearly understands the concept of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" because the lions want to eat them all. Amazing.

@yourcaptain5947 11 ай бұрын

The respect that they all have is amazing. The lions did not attack the Elephant. They patiently waited for the Elephant to confirm the dinner plans. The Elephant tried to help the Rhino and even gave it a pep talk. The Elephant told the Rhino to get your behind out of there. “Here I’m splashing the water out making it easy, get your big rear end out”. “ come on you’re safe and my family is with me”. “I can’t lift you anymore but you can make it out”. Then the Rhino said “ thank you for everything my friend but I’m just to weak and sick to come out.” “ I appreciate everything but I just can’t due to my injuries, please tell my family if you see them”. Then the Elephant respected the wishes of the Rhino and confirmed the dinner plans with the pride. The pride of lions respectfully waited for the Elephant to go about it ways as they had their dinner and had many more members of their family to join. Everyone had mutual respect for each other.
