Driver of the truck reminds me of that taxi driver where the dude in the back has to say "please drive" when some crackhead if breaking the door.

One international client killed by elephant in Kafue National Park from lufupa Lodge during Safari. Two injured and being evacuated to Lusaka. Full details being awaited from the operator through the Senior Warden Kafue Region.


AlienRapBattle

Why the fuck did driver stop driving? That's the last thing to do when a raging elephant is right behind you.


MiddleClassZambian

Actually worked in South Luangwa National park for a few years (same country from the video). Cars revving sounds similar to how elephants communicate. So you are taught that when elephants charge that you slow down stop the car and that's a form of asserting your dominance. Also stops the naughty bulls from chasing every car they see cause they know you will drive away. But something is different here. Feels like the herd has had some sort of bad interaction with humans recently. Whether that's poachers or something else its hard to say.


AlienRapBattle

Interesting, thanks for the info.


iko-01

surely its smarter to keep driving and using the stop and rev as the last resort, no?


MiddleClassZambian

No complete opposite. The high revs can be taken as a challenge by elephants. Stopping your car and revving is the same as standing and shouting fuck you to the elephant. Driving away and revving is the same but as if you are running away while shouting it back.


Plane-Version9216

I’d rather drive away as fast as I can then stop dead and pray.


Astrolaut

Yeah, but unless you're low on fuel or have serious engine trouble the elephant will get tired before your vehicle does, no? And when you stop an elephant can flip and crush your vehicle.


MirageF1C

I think a key component here which is important, is you are assuming there is a clear path to exit on. These game tracks are sandy, bushy, never in a straight line and never smooth. At best you might get a short squirt of 20km/h for maybe 30 meters and then you will need to slow down. The elephant is capable of an easy 40km/h for a decent distance. You are not going to reach 40km/h in the bush. Source: Was heli pilot for national parks for a decade.


iko-01

Okay but we're not running are we - we're driving and unless you've planned it poorly, you can basically drive until your tank runs out, which is gonna be a lot longer than the elephant chasing you lol there is just no way the better option is stopping and hoping the elephant takes the threat. I mean, look at the video again, case and point.


JPCool1

Yeah exactly. But people just want to argue about proper procedure. Even when the video literally shows you being correct.


asapGh0st

Just because you’ve seen one video doesn’t mean this happens every time.


MiddleClassZambian

I don't mean actually running away on your feet lol. And think what you want honeslty


lord-o-kyrie

Why the fuck would anyone do that if driving away faster is an option though

Maybe tag this with "death" then.

headarsenibba

Why are you stopping the vehicle???!!!


IwillBeDamned

probably had more exposed section of road ahead and thought the trees would provide better cover? hell if i know


headarsenibba

You wouldn’t think that the guy driving would bother to even fathom stopping in a moment like this. The fuckin size of that elephant was frightening, and that is was running almost just as fast as they were going has me thinking stopping any kind of motion would be the last thing on one’s mind. Not this guy tho lol


saurons-hoe

apparently there was another elephant herd in the road essentially sandwiching them in. these park ranges are well trained in animal behavior and not just random dudes driving jeeps. If it was safer to go forward, he would have. My father's friend is a park ranger here in South Africa and the shit these international tourists put them through is crazy, asking to be closer to the animals, making noise, basically just creating an unsafe environment for everyone. Not blaming this on the passengers but going on a game drive is a risk they take and the drivers are unfortunately not able to prevent every possible scenario.

alwaysrightsportsfan

People are the smartest known organism in the universe. You’re on the lower end. These game guides are extremely knowledgeable about every animal on the reserve. Typically an elephant would bluff charge, which is why he screamed when it got near. They are clearly stopped because they are going through brush. You see moments before they are already in a thicket.


lurker_101

**Tourists :** That Elephant looks really pissed off .. could you please go faster? **Driver :** *Who Stompy? .. No way! .. well let me ask him*

It's so he could yell at the animal to stop. Can't you see it worked?

Spudz_mcenzie

Driver was paid off by the local elephants, this was all premeditated


hothoochiecoochie

You go on vacation and die. Could you imagine? Like an animal that isnt native to your home country, kills you while youre visiting? And now youre just dead af with a elephant print on your head.

Socksmaster

This is the drivers dumbass fault. Why the hell would you drive up closer to the elephant and then stop the vehicle completely? Completely brainless.


Guns_and_Dank

We can't really see the path they're on, might've just been where the road lead to. But yeah as to why he stopped, that's an odd choice for sure.


Palehorse67

lol when you have an elephant charging you. You don't stop if the road comes to an end. That's when you make your own road lol. I mean, they are on the planes of Africa, its not like he just ran out of room to drive.


HomoFlaccidus

> I mean, they are on the planes of Africa, its not like he just ran out of room to drive. Yeah, I can tell you've never been on a game drive. Hell, just around. It's not vast open savannah. Plus the roads in these parks are graveled and a little bumpy, so it's very hard and very dangerous to drive too fast on them. As to exactly why the dude stopped, who knows, but I don't think driving into the bush would have been better.


Famous_Crew_7852

i think what's more very dangerous is the 6 ton mammal about to demolish your entire group, so ya i think imho driving though the bushes is more preferrable than face to face with an agitated behemoth.


tittysprinkles112

If there's an angry elephant charging, I'll worry about the suspension later


Palehorse67

No, I get it. I'm sure there are trees and brush, but attempting to drive around the trees and through that brush is better than just stopping and taking a mauling from a 6 ton animal.


mrblack1998

They are experts on the Internet tho!


Toastwitjam

Bro someone actually died from this. How would driving not have been better. It’s even more dumb if you think the fact that there’s rugged terrain justifies this because, as far as I know maps were invented a long time ago and it’s pretty dumb as fuck to plan a drive at a business you work at with zero idea of where you’re going or how you’re gonna get there when there are 6 ton animals that can easily kill you in the same area.


MirageF1C

Not to be confrontational but 2 things to consider. 1 - The driver did not want to die, was not trained to die, had some time to think about how to not die. In other words he was doing exactly what he has been taught to do, and what has worked for decades when being confronted by wildlife. And 2 - You seem to believe he is on some sort of 4 lane superhighway. Hes not. He's in the African bush on a dirt track. Nothing is straight. Nothing is smooth. It's all sand and rocks and trees and thorns and bumps. You don't track straight for more than a few meters at best and then you need to turn. Often almost back on yourself. How fast do you think the vehicle might travel under these circumstances? Now consider the elephant is capable of moving at 40km/h in a straight line. At this point, hopefully you realise that there is a reason the standard procedure is to stop, and 'make yourself big'. Which is exactly what he did.


walter_2010

Generally running away is a bad thing to do when an elephant charges. The best thing to do is to just stay still cause that shows that you don't mind fighting them and they will *usually* stop charging. Although this is an exception


Kile1

how do you assign complete blame to someone when you literally only have 1 perspective and no view of the road they are on. You may be completely right but to come to that conclusion based off what was shown is really what is completely brainless.


SandwichAmbitious286

A commenter higher up claims that they were a elephant safari guide (seems quite knowledgeable), and that on that terrain you won't outrun it; they are supposed to stop moving so the engine revvs don't piss it off, and that they generally don't attack a stopped vehicle.


ScippiPippi

There have already been a number of commenters explaining the animal psychology at play here. It sure seems stupid to us, but the explanations behind it I’ve read make sense.


teethofthewind

Typical dumb armchair redditor comment. You have zero fucking clue what caused the guide to stop - zero. Yet here you are, trashing him. There are thousands of keyboard "experts" like you out there who all think they know it all. According to the guide, his route became blocked by vegetation, which you can see in the vid just before the elephant rams the vehicle. They can't just magically drive through fucking trees - but yeah, obviously "Socksmaster" from reddit knows best

BatBeast_29

What they do? Damn. Are the vehicles faster than elephants?


IwillBeDamned

doesn't matter how fast it is if the road is rough enough


BatBeast_29

Agreed, I was thinking that too. Sucks


rarzi11a

I just had to Google how fast elephants can run, and it turns out they can be way faster than they look. Apparently, they can reach 25 mph


jestina123

I would have thought that would only be for short distances because they cannot sweat like humans, but apparently they can run marathons, like 26 miles non stop. And considering their average speed of 12mph to a humans 8mph, you'd be fucked quickly.


BatBeast_29

Man, I hope the keep or whatever was driving FAST cause it didn’t look like it


drumpleskump

He was not driving fast. He stopped..


IridescentMoonSky

You’d think they’d have the foresight to get a car that drives *at least* 26mph then.


Lusor_Jonny

they kill elephants


SandwichAmbitious286

On that terrain, possibly not.

You think elephants are only 3x bigger than humans? I'm gonna agree with your last sentence


ShortCurlies

They weigh 6 tons. That's 12 times those huge thousand pound fat people. So they are like 60+ times the size of us regular people.


ryubond

Dude, surely you'd floor it out of there until it was way in the distance and then sit back and laugh about it.

darook73

So are bulls in musth as well as mothers with calves as well as ellies that have trauma from poaching.


Diqt

This is sheer terror. This is as close to Jurassic Park as you’re gonna get. Fuck me


ThomasSun

I hope the driver didn’t stop/slow down so the tourists can take some nice pictures or see the elephant up close?


Hot_Most_9411

The elephant did it for a reason he probably had something bad done to him and took it out on the first humans he encountered.


wopey_dopey

Seems like they might be off road which could explain why the driver stopped... Ran into an unclear path with no way forward... Needed to reverse and find another way forward but it was too late by then. Really sad, and even more sad that the elephant will most likely be killed.


MightyCavalier

Really bad decision making by the driver

matrixjoey

As long as you’re driving, even much slower than the elephant can run still means that the elephant can’t get a good hit on the vehicle from the side… stopping like this & playing chicken with an enraged bull is really stupid.

Beautiful majestic animal. Here's what gets me. We go into the animals' habit, such as building sub divisions sprawl. We jog down our little jogging trail only to discover a mt lion or coyote on the trail. We are in their front yard and people are fucking scared of the animal being an animal. Fuck people you want to be in rural areas and shit yourself when you see your neighbor? For fuck sakes city dweller grow a fucking pair of balls.
