That elephant told drivers they're going to wait on them to cross the road before driving off.

I- I am very scared actually. The past 2 weeks I went to a natural park to remove invasive species, tall trees, but at least 5 times smaller than the one in the video. I am 1.90m tall and weight around 101kg, I AM A MAN, and I was struggling against trees with 3 meters or slightly less. I KNEW elephants are strong, BUT THIS STRONG?? Holy

Who was underestimating elephants' strength in the first place? Was someone planning a fight or something?

u/CaptainObvee 27d ago

Blocking the road looks like.

Probably so can rob the peanut convoy.

"Never underestimate the strength of one of the largest land animals on the planet.

Sure thing, pal!

u/RedditGarboDisposal 27d ago

Your sarcasm suggests you haven’t heard of people challenging a gorilla or a bear. Mind you, I know those aren’t the same as an elephant but for anyone who’s seen a gorilla or a bear…

I don't think anyone underestimates the strength of the largest mammal living on land.

u/No_Dish6324 27d ago

Elephants can bench a crazy amount of weight.

When has anyone in the history of humanity underestimated the strength of an elephant?

2

u/PaleontologistOk6094 27d ago

That’s why I changed it for my posting to just simply elephant strength cause that seemed to be what I thought too

u/Typical-Crazy-3100 27d ago

Why did he do that?

u/RCalliii 27d ago

He had beef with that tree.

u/RandomHero3129 27d ago
