Elephants from Serengeti

in norway •  7 years ago 

This week I am out traveling with my Company and some of the employees so the time to write some good quality post here at Steemit are scares.
But, I have found some time to look at some old pictures I took when I were in Tanzania last summer and I came over these three young elephant bulls. They were high on testosterone and were planing to charge the car we were driving.
Luckily the driver was a smart guy and drove of before they got to close.

Now I am looking forward to the weekend that will be full of family time and at least one trip out in the woods for a nature photoshoot.
Enjoy the rest of the week and don't forget this weeks issue of @Onebitnews

Until next time, stay safe, warm and dry

Kindest regards

the day you were Mr @gyldenhorn near the elephants, they are already accurately counting things and people.

Intersting information @Agdali.
I know that Elephants are known for being intelligent animals :)

I was just researching elephants for a little illustration I'm working on tonight. A coincidence to run into your post about them! They look great! My elephant is definitely not full of testosterone, but very friendly. elephant.png

Hello @Helenmunch
I agree that your Elephant looks more friendly than aggressive :)

🐘😊

For noen flotte bilder, @gyldenhorn! Historien din høres jo litt skummel ut da, og jeg kan se for meg at det ikke hadde vært så gøy om de hadde rukket å nå dere før dere fikk kjørt unna. Så godt at det gikk fint. Du får ha en god helg :)

Hilsen @valth

Takk det samme @Valth
Ikke lenge til meet-up heller nå :)

Mvh
@Gyldenhorn

Nei, nå er det ikke mange dagene igjen :)

I always thought elephants were peaceful animals. But one day I saw a program about animals, like elephants attacking a car. It must have been terrible to be around such angry giants

Hello @Solnishko
Elephant can be very aggressive indeed. At our safari we come across a dusin of them that showed bad behavior. So it is best to keep some kind of distance :)

I agree with you @solnishko. In addition they are smart and know what they are doing. In a zoo here in my country, an elephant caused the death of a 6 year old girl! You can not imagine how : this animal takes stones with its hose and throw it to people despite being far from them!

It's awful. In our zoo there were cases when people climbed into cages to predatory animals and those attacked them. But that's how the stone flew in...

I have lived all my life along with the elephants, there are lot of them near my village. I don't think they are not peaceful, if you will cross the line then only they think to attack.
I would say if we compare them to human they are really peaceful animals.

very envious of you. you can see this beauty with your own eyes.

Thx @Ami17
It was very nice to actually be there and experience things that you usually only see on TV

You don't have to worry @gyldenhorn,
these elephant just wanted to come greet and welcome you! lol.
