Angry elephant herd chases wild dogs to protect their babies
The video shows how an elephant herd gets really angry with a pack of African wild dogs, chasing them off with their intimidating loud screams and trumpeting sounds in order to protect their young.
Because elephants are the largest mammals roaming the African bush, they take absolutely no nonsense from any other animal, especially predators. Elephants move in breeding herds, led by a matriarch together with related females and their young which are male and female. Older males live in smaller groups together or alone. The main job of a breeding herd is to protect the young in the herd, no matter what. They do this aggressively when there are any potential threats to their babies. The video shows just that. When a breeding herd of elephants came across a pack of African wild dogs, the elephants immediately reacted. African wild dogs are one of Africa’s rarest predators and can be voracious hunters, going for anything that moves that might be the right size for them to take down. A baby elephant is not off the menu for the wild dogs and the adult elephants know that. When this breeding herd spotted the wild dogs, they knew there was potential danger. With their huge size and intimidating behavior, the adult elephants in the herd made sure that the wild dogs knew that they were not welcome in their area. With incredibly loud screams and trumpeting noises, coupled with ears flapping, the whole herd charged towards the wild dogs. Wild dogs are very agile and fast, so every time the elephants would charge towards them, the wild dogs would just quickly run off a little before they settled again. That wasn’t enough for the elephants, and they continued chasing after the wild dogs until they eventually ran off into the bush and out of sight of the elephants. Watching this whole noisy and intimidating altercation as part of a safari group was a very overwhelming experience for everyone, a rare sight and one not to be forgotten.
