I just want to make an interesting point about this charge....when we out in the field, if an elephants ears are out and up, we always take it as a mock charge...how do we explain this charge...mock charge...I really don't think she was wanted to cause damage..just a warning..

Well, I got news for you....I would imagine that that little "warning" probably caused a LOT of damage......to people's underwear!

@Mr. 16 gauge , recently I have been sent quite a few videos like this. Makes me wonder if the guides are being trained correctly, do they know they have the knowledge to read the animals behavior.

It appears to me that the Elephant hit the jeep.

Mock charges typically pull up short don't they?

I would certainly take being thumped by an Elephant as a warning.

Brickburn, I agree they usually pull up short, I still think she was just mocking, only when for front of jeep, not the people.
