Standing upright is how you provoke horny male kangaroos (it's what male kangaroos do to eachother), so you can make yourself smaller to be safe. That said random attacks can happen, there's an account of chasing down and mauling a jogger for example. They're not very intelligent, but the big ones have the potential to kick your ribs in, or drown your dog. Koalas are less intelligent still, if you startle one on the ground it can try to climb you like a tree, mauling you in the process. Emus, unlike Cassowaries, aren't typically dangerous. They tend to properly avoid people, I don't see them very often.

You should also cover the true story of a female Asian elephant from Northeat India (Northern West Bengal to be specific) that would not only kill human but actually eat part of them. When it was finally taken down, human parts were found in its gut and mouth (if I remember correctly). It is from my hometown and I remember following the whole story on the news. I would also like to add that such attacks are generally results of extensive trauma or bad experiences that animals receive from humans. Given the intelligence and really good memory, elephants are known to take revenge.

[@singingcrow439]

Another thing about musth is that the presence of other, specifically older bulls can lessen the affects of musth. Due to cullings, and that poachers actively seek out older elephants for their larger tusks, this left nothing to limit musth in the fewer young bulls, which lead to their rampage. Especially since the main target of an elephant in musth are other bull elephants. The mandla bull probably was decently old given its size, but being so isolated from not just other bulls, but elephants in general left it with no outlet for its musth other than villagers.

[@cory_hugs7850]

[@mr.squanch]

I would like to tell you a little anecdote. This elephant is not the only bull that has been on a killing spree. It happened that in an African national park it was noticed that dead animals were repeatedly being found for no apparent reason. These were hippos, rhinos, etc. The rangers immediately knew that the killer had to be an elephant. And they found this elephant. It was a young bull elephant that behaved very aggressively towards other animals for no apparent reason. For example, he tried to sexually mount a rhino, and when that failed, he threw a tree trunk at the rhino and almost killed it with his tusks. The rhino was very lucky to come out of this scene alive. People puzzled for a long time about what could have caused this behavior and then found the explanation. To understand this, you have to look at the social structure of elephants and how bulls grow up in it. Normally, bulls leave the herd at a certain age and become loners from that point on. But their education is not yet complete. From that point on, they usually join older bulls who are able to provide guard rails for the unbridled, testosterone-charged behavior of their young. From them, the adolescent bulls learn when enough is enough, what is okay, and when they are overstepping boundaries. And that is exactly where the problem lay, because decades of poaching these very large bulls meant that the adolescent bulls were increasingly unable to find older bulls to take on this task.

[@bc2578]

Same thing happens when cops take out the older leadership of a street gang.

[@Veradance]

The problem with the rhino killing elephants turned out to be that the culling program had created a bunch of teenage bull elphants who were without guidence and going through musk way too early. It was solved when several adult bull elephants were brought to that area and released. Just their presence caused the young bulls to drop out of musk and the adult bulls actually put a stop to any misbehavior that occured anywhere near them. Which had a lot of indications of what little people knew about the social interactions of bull elpehants.

Bulls are already extremely aggressive, but i think any person who has trauma or PTSD can attest to a surge in hormones bringing out the worst in us, relative to our pain. Combine that with being a 2000+lb animal, and my god. I don’t blame the animal. I’m sure most he killed truly didn’t deserve it, but regardless, it’s just a tragic situation. The hubris of man is his greatest demise.

Elephants are so powerful, almost beyond comprehension. Imagine being in a field at night, hearing the jungle around the field move. Hearing no footsteps other than branches crack and leaves move. You climb down, fleeing into your village, hoping you make it in time. Then reaching the village... feeling a bit more safe. Until you hear the almost silent footfalls again. The fact that this elephant is looking for people, going to each house is just terrifying. Their intelligence is their biggest advantage.

[@yuck4u]

Rogue, wild, bull elephants seem very unique to Asian elephants. These bull elephants go out of their way to actually STALK, hunt and kill human beings. Objectively speaking, eating humans is very rare, but very intentional (NOT accidental) killing of human beings is very frequent. This is not new (because of habitat destruction etc.). Kenneth Anderson - one of the most famous hunters from South India - who has written several world-famous books on his hunting of man-eating tigers and man-eating leopards - also hunted down several rogue, man-killing, bull elephants. Anderson's adventure "Black rogue of the Moyar valley" is a must must-read. It was one of his closest calls when he was unarmed and stalked/hunted by a rogue elephant.

Concerning the rogue elephants in Africa, those left after "culling", one documentary theorized that the young elephants had no guidance and discipline from elders, and so did not develop prescribed social behaviors towards other species. One way of putting it, they never grew up, and retained only volatile teenager mentalities, as well as being deprived of normal herd life. Normally, the big bulls of the herd would have "advised" them of their proper place and required behavior.

[@KittymoreJoy]

@@SamBrickellthat is a stupid, comment. There is a reason that Elephants become enraged , had enough of human cruelty , stupidity and tasting human blood will make the Elephant crazy and yes, that animal needs to be destroyed. Humans do not need trauma to kill, some make the choice to kill because they simply want to, enjoy it. We do not need a reason just the twisted desire to inflict pain., history is a story of human to human killing. We are the Problem that wild animals have to deal with. We take more often than give back. Destroy the land and other animals, use cruel methods to subdue them, slaughter at will by poachers with traps, corner them into small areas, we are constantly moving the rules. Now we have urban raccoons, foxes, pumas and coyotes in human settlements not always just in 3rd world countries. Stupid humans may feed wild creatures who than become addicted to feeding and can become aggressive if a human does not, like monkeys for reference. We keep living in their territories Many animals are territorial , making them aggressive. We humans are the issue way to many times, but the animals often pay our stupidity with their lives. I feel enormous sadness for such creatures who have been so traumatized by humans to the point it mentally breaks and starts killing. We all have a point of no return. I believe murders, rapists, child molesters, slavers, and drug dealers should be shot. However, bleeding hearts think we should just jail them for a few years to fix the problem that one bullet or hangman’s noose would fix that person’s rampage on innocent victims. Forget the “ deterrent”. Having a death penalty is not a deterrent for many killers, however, it fulfills the legal blood debt of a killer to the dead and society and that is why it was instituted. This applies to animals that kill humans as well. Hope I have explained this concept well for you to think about.

that elephant is a prophet in my eyes, sorry for what happened to you humans there are just no other living thing more evil than humans i believe in the galaxy there is no bounds no frontiers for human utter evil violence as that of humans and you give intelligence to them on top of that and there is no stopping them but sometimes their deeds dont go unpunished

Funnily enough African elephants are even more aggressive than their Asian relatives which makes me wonder if there are any events where one went on a killing spree like the elephant here did.

After watching this, I see elephants from a new prospective now.

I’m 100% serious when I say this; I think it needed to get laid. He went into must, and there were no females to occupy his time. That might have been a partial factor

Those Elephants in Africa were young males and were killing the rinos didn’t have any dominant Bulls in their heard . The killings didn’t stop until they introduced a bull elephant . They didn’t know how to behave until the bull had been introduced. You should be able to find the documentary about it still !

Elephant decided that MAN was the enemy. Poachers and farmers killing and maiming Elephants. Yup pure retaliation!
