A tense standoff between a bull elephant and a safari truck in Pilanesberg National Park, South Africa was captured on video. The elephant lifted the truck several times before the guide’s actions, like revving the engine and making noise, warded off the animal. The guide’s response was praised by wildlife experts. The incident occurred when tourists got too close to the elephant. The bull elephant was in musth, a state of increased aggression due to reproductive hormones. Thankfully, no one was injured, but some tourists were left shaken. The park will conduct an internal investigation into the incident.
