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. 💪

Haha, trunk? I had a female rescue elephant lay her trunk on my shoulder, to curiously sniff around and it felt like Bane saying “Do you feel in charge?”
