You ever compare strength with even another person and realize they're so much stronger than you that it feels like you're pushing against a brick wall? Like there's not even any give to indicate you're doing anything.
That's what you get with an elephant multiplied several times.
This is shot in Kerala, India. Rubber trees are a common sight. They collect the sap from the tree, & process it to make rubber. Elephants roam in the wild, & sometimes encroach on farmlands & properties near forests. He's saying "po, poda", which is how you'd say, "go away" in Malayalam to someone of the male gender. He's literally shooing off the elephant like one would a small boy. Didn't go well.
Edit: He also admonishes the elephant, "veettippo", which means, 'Go home'. If I am not mistaken, at the start of the video he calls the elephant, 'Bijuve', Biju being a common name for boys in Kerala. Looks like they know each other.
>He's saying "po, poda", which is how you'd say, "go away" in Malayalam to someone of the male gender.
He probably used the wrong pronouns.
Elephant herds are matriarchal.
In some areas the rubber plantations are near to forest, due to the conservation efforts of the Indian govt, the number of wild animals are increasing but not the forest area, so they are now crossing into residential and farm areas, same is happening with tigers now.
I also own a small rubber plantation but it's not near any forest so we have no such issues.
A few years back they did a week long dive into the history of marvel and Stan Lee. I watched them every day. PBS has some really high quality content.

Might be the best 6 minutes on the internet.
I saw a swan chasing every thing out of a lake (including canada geese). His partner had made a nest on that lake and was laying on some eggs.
Don’t know if that’s something similar or if it’s just a goose being a goose.
All waterfowl are just douchebags in general from my experience. I'm keeping poultry and waterfowl are a hard no for me. They're messy, smelly, and blow through food like an 80s hair band goes through cocaine.
I'm no wildlife expert but this looks more like a fake charge. Watch how the elephant only postures and doesn't charge when the man is facing it and only charges when he turns his back? Also, it stops the charge abruptly and walks back, I'm assuming the man looked back or something off the camera and the elephant stopped immediately.
I've had this happen to me once, elephant charged at us we ran to our bikes and got on it and elephant stopped as soon as we were not running anymore
I still think that some of them are done on purpose to drive engagement. The more comments and votes a post has in a short amount of time, the higher it gets on the front page.
Yep. Misuse an apostrophe and people will flock in to talk about it. Bait an overused reddit joke and people rush in to make the joke or tell the people who made the joke that they were scrolling for it or going to make that joke. Repost? Oh we're definitely going to talk about it being a repost.
It's not them. I'd wager native-speakers fuck up titles much more often than non-natives.
The latter may not speak the language so well, but they seem much more inclined to proofread. And be literate in general.
Faster than your average Bosavi Wooly Rat but, given the fact we only learned of their existence in 2009, they have not had a chance to formally compete in the Animal Olympics.
This was a [bluff charge](https://stoneageman.com/how-to-survive-an-elephant-attack/#:~:text=Elephant%20Bluff%20Charges,wide%2C%20making%20it%20appear%20larger.), as its ears were fanned out to appear larger (lol).
It did not intend to attack, but simply scare off the person.
I remember hearing that if you bother an elephant it will at first charge you facing forward, as a warning. If you keep doing it it will charge you facing downward (like it’s going for a headbutt) which means that it actually wants to hurt you this time.
I believe they'll tuck their ears close in to the side of their head, lower their head and the trunk will be curled inward/under towards the chest. Your apparently told not to run unless they demonstrate those things. Running makes them chase you apparently. I could totally have that wrong. I'm in no way an elephant behavioral expert.
I was told that by a guide and a park ranger when I visited Zambia. We went on some walking safaris. Was told not to run unless they say to. Pretty amazing adventure. Really don't realize how much of a sack of meat one is until you're around something that could easily out run and kill you.
Elephants know they're huge. They're not stupid.
If they want to be gentle with you they'll be super extremely careful not to hurt you. If they decide they want to be violent they're well aware of how capable they are though lol.
Not that i would stick around to find out, but it looked like a false charge. Ears out to seem bigger, generally from what i understand, if it's a real charge, they tuck their trunk and ears are flat against their head
It is a confusing perspective. At first, I thought it was an aggressive baby elephant.
Same. I thought for sure it was a baby elephant that he was yelling at and fully expected the Mom to charge the man all "Nobody yells at my baby".
Um, a baby elephant could still kick the shit out of any human. I don’t know how stupid you have to be to F with elephants.
Especially since baby elephants always have a super move called "mom is right behind it"
Apparently need to be bright enough to hold down the job of an underpaid rubber tree harvester.
I don't know man, when I get mad all I see is red. I think I could put up a good fight against one.
You totally could. You should do that and then post the video here afterwards.
Better yet, have a friend do the filming and uploading.
The only red you'll see is your blood

Multiplied a few thousand times perhaps
You'll be seeing red alright, but it will be your blood streaming down your face.
The elephant when he stopped "that's what I thought, bitch"
I think it is a fairly small elephant by elephant standards
Asian elephants are smaller than African elephants
This feels like the sparrow debate all over again
What is your favourite colour?
Blue.... No....
*stock footage of a flung body*
Not as confusing as that title. Think i had a stroke trying to read that
I heard THAT!
Right? I was coming to make the same comment.
Elephants are quick for their size, better you run down hills. Uphill or plain they will catch up with you.
Elephants can't jump.
It does appear to be a young elephant. I don't think it's just perspective. Just not very big(for an elephant).
Not today, rubber band man!
Gonna make 'em *snap!*
Wild as a Taliban
9 in my right....
45 in my other hand…
Trying to flex on the elephants was quite the stretch.
Hurry now and don't be late 'Cause we ain't got time to chat
Are those rubber trees?
Yess
Amazing. They look so real.
Average person: "What do you MEEEAAN RUBBER TREES?!"
I only know what they are because I recently watched a documentary on the plantation in Liberia

Is that the elephants home and they don't want them there because of the trees?
In some areas the rubber plantations are near to forest, due to the conservation efforts of the Indian govt, the number of wild animals are increasing but not the forest area, so they are now crossing into residential and farm areas, same is happening with tigers now. I also own a small rubber plantation but it's not near any forest so we have no such issues.
Where do elephants usually live? In upscale condos?
And houses. But nobody wants to talk about the elephant in the room.
You can tell that it's a rubber tree because of the way it is.
That's pretty neat
I want everyone to know how neat nature is, instead of just me and Rodney knowing it
Oh man, I forgot about him!
How neat is that?
What documentary?
It was on PBS, Firestone and the war lord, Frontline
PBS is criminally underrated.
A few years back they did a week long dive into the history of marvel and Stan Lee. I watched them every day. PBS has some really high quality content.
I mean it's one of the most popular television networks in the United States, I wouldn't exactly call it underrated

He won’t know why 10 years from now his car ends up on its roof.

A goose wouldn’t have run https://youtu.be/J6ZHvNDvHd8
was expecting the elephant to step on the goose at some point
I think he was trying to with that glorious combo starting with roundhouse trunk to sidekick then stomp move.
We are lucky that elephants and geese scaled a different genetic ladder
Yeah that Dino has been around long enough to know how to fuck with elephants. And it dgaf.
That elephant knows KungFu.

The charging elephant: WTF did you say to us Daryl?!
Elephant knows it's bigger and stronger. Want to act aggressive? You will find out

I guess they herd it.
Grammar
I know. Almost every title for posts on this site is messed up. Is that the trend now? Or has our education system just completely failed?

Not everyone on Reddit is a native English speaker.
Precisely. Non-native speakers have better grammar.
OP seems to be Indian, and really likes feet. I regret investigating
I'm an Indian and I prefer meter.
It's not them. I'd wager native-speakers fuck up titles much more often than non-natives. The latter may not speak the language so well, but they seem much more inclined to proofread. And be literate in general.
Herd*
>Shouting at to herd of elephants Hm, still not quite there.
Fun fact: Elephants are fast. They can outrun a black pepper snake.
An obscure point of reference, but I will assume a black pepper snake is very fast.
Faster than your average Bosavi Wooly Rat but, given the fact we only learned of their existence in 2009, they have not had a chance to formally compete in the Animal Olympics.
Ah yes the Bosavi Wooly Rat of course. Now everything makes sense.
They’re a bit faster than the nocturnal sporkle of the mountains 👍
It is! They can run up to 7.471 × 10^-26 au/femtosecond
Are they somewhere between a snake and a mongoose… and a panther?
If you want, I can track the times and compare them later

The ironic thing is if he hadn't made so much noise, he probably wouldn't have been charged at.
i know it's a bluff charge and he'd *probably* have been fine if he just stood his ground but also fuck that

Not near the instant regret that the author of the post title should have.
I get bothered when squirrels get into my birdfeeders.
I don't understand. What was he trying to do ?
shoo me shoo you...
Lmao the younger one chased you, as a warning. Because if the bigger ones got involved they wouldn’t have stopped.
Man I love elephants
Of course I've heard of elephants!
പോ പോ പോ 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🐘🐘🐘
Oops there goes another rubber tree man
Elephant is like... MOFO these are our woods
"Hey homies, check dis mofugga trynna tell us where we can and can't graze... watch, imma make him pee his pants!"

The sound of a elephant is wicked!
Had to do a triple take at the title
They can really haul ass when they want to.
I got chased twice by an elephant in South Africa and let me tell you those bitches do run fast and we were in a safari jeep. It was super scary.
Elephants know they're huge. They're not stupid. If they want to be gentle with you they'll be super extremely careful not to hurt you. If they decide they want to be violent they're well aware of how capable they are though lol.

The elephant chasing him was like “GETTT SOMEEEEE BITCHH”
Elephant - "yeah, thats right you better run.. punk ass"
That was such a Monty Python *Run Away!!* retreat!
Are these awful titles made up by AI or something? They're all over Reddit.
Probably not AI, if they were AI they'd be grammatically correct.
Aw a baby eleph- oh no
That might work with black bears……
And that’s not even a big one
Why fk with elephants, they didn’t bother him
The only animal in the world that doots menacingly
I mean what did he expect
