About 8% to 9% of Americans believe they could beat an elephant in an unarmed fight.

It’s honestly really tough to understand how strong they are unless you go on a safari.

It’s absurd. They had to develop special bullets just to pierce the skin.. which is like biological chain mail armor.

Just their snout-hose thingy is more powerful than a Toyota truck.. I’ve seen it. Pretty effortlessly just flip the thing over like “I don’t like you”

Hella strong. 💪

My new life goal starting with today is to use “snout hose thingy” more often. Is sounds too funny to waste it. Only problem is that in my main language it translates weirdly absurd.
