It's not a joke. Man Bikes Away From Sprinting Elephant, Realizes Whats Happening When Elephant Beckons To Woods:
Once the biker has been chased off, the elephant does an about-face and turns to face the oncoming traffic. There are at least three to four cars coming, though upon seeing the massive obstacle in the road, they all do the smart thing and stop.
Seeing that they arent coming closer, the elephant takes a few cautious steps forward.
Once the coast is clear, the elephant gestures into the brushand out follows his entire family! With his safe guidance, the elephant guides the mother and two children safely across the road without harm to anyone. As it turns out, the biker was just a distraction to the elephants larger goal.
Who knew that nature footage like this could come with its own plot twist?
Though elephants are understandably intimidating creatures, they are also beautiful and empathetic animals that have been forced to live in communities with people in many areas. They have families and normal needs of their own, even if we cant always understand their actions.
Because everyone in the clip was aware, nobody got hurt and the elephants made it safely across the road.
How can anyone be proud of killing one of these beautiful and intelligent creatures? We all remember that horrible picture of the Spawn of Trump proudly holding up the tail of an elephant he killed.
