Amboseli Elephant Greets Hyenas? | Zebra Plains Safari

Did this Amboseli elephant greet the hyenas as he walked past?
No.
The bull elephant was sniffing the air to pick up the scent of the hyenas as he was moving to the swamps. The eyesight of elephants is poor so they rely on their sense of smell. Hyenas are very small compared to a elephant but they do have a strong smell - by lifting the trunk and sniffing the air the elephant was able to determine exactly where they were and that they were not doing anything threatening.

Filmed In The Amboseli National Park, Kenya

About Rob The Ranger Wildlife Videos:
The purpose of the channel is to show what it is like to experience seeing wild animals on an African safari. Nature Documentaries are often highly edited to tell a story, wildlife safaris are not, and the idea here is to show the wildlife sightings the way they were seen. Safari tours in Africa are generally suitable for all ages and this channel can be considered an educational channel about incredible nature, some scenes in the nature videos may be more graphic than people are used to but this is the reality of nature and is what you would see if you were present on such a safari in person. Safaris in Kenya, South Africa, or any other African country are an unrivalled experience for anyone with a passion for nature, wildlife photography, and travel. Hopefully the animal videos on this channel can provide a glimpse into what the nature experience is like and encourage more people to take a wildlife safari one day.
