Elephant Facts

Elephants are well known for their intelligence and caring for each other. Elephants cry and laugh and they are largest animals that live on land. Elephants live long, between 60-70 years. Elephant's musk has more than 100,000 muscle units and elephant poops around 80 pounds a day. It is known that elephants take a great care over dead bones of their family members. However, it is the myth that they carry them to secret "elephant burial grounds". Interesting elephant fact is that periodically male elephants go through musth or extremely aggressive sexual behavior. Musth in Persian means "intoxicated" and it is recorded that male elephant in musth has 60 times higher level of testosterone than in the normal elephant. Elephant male in the musth will kill and destroy everything in his path. Take a look at this shocking vicious video to learn more about this highly aggressive elephant behavior. Again we repeat THIS VIDEO IS VERY AGGRESSIVE!

LOL the elephants just like "Hey ima take u for a ride on my tusk. *carries around* whoops i dropped u. Whered u go? *steps on him* Oh there you are...get back on...why aren't u moving? *nudges and throws him off the to the side*" poor guy. This is why u don't take these beautiful giants out of their natural habitats and put **** on their head, then ride them and expect them to go along with it.

Elephants only attack when they feel dangered mabey you guys should read up on your facts, if people wasn't standing around and left the elephant alone instead of picking up a stick and smacking it then the elephant would have stopped attacking stupid people, elephants are really friendly and riding an elephant is a ritual in different religions/ lifestyles. you wouldn't understand because your not around them like others are. Elephants are show cases, riding elephants isn't abuse. Get your facts stright before you go judging ethnic groups.

how would you guys feel if people were taking you out of your habitat to ride your back. youd be pissed. just because it is an incredible mammal DOES NOT mean ppl have the right to do this. Alot of humans shouldnt even be living on this earth with such an ignorant mind set. you people piss me off.

Elephantsown, man! this is just moar proof. But rly, he did warn us twice that it was graphic, and the animal IS only naturally reacting because of the musth making it agressive.

Human nature is well illustrated in this video...
Did you notice that the man being attacked could have escaped earlier like most others? He tried to help another guy (blue color shirt) who was being targeted. Unfortunately, the elephant turned its attention to him while the blue shirt guy took the chance to run away. Tragic...

It was mentioned that it was an agressive video TWICE..."Take a look at this shocking vicious video to learn more about this highly aggressive elephant behavior. Again we repeat THIS VIDEO IS VERY AGGRESSIVE!".....what part of that don't you understand?

Patti at at 06:06PM, Aug 21st 2009.

Hello guys!
Many of you think that the elephants are abused in India.This is NOT true.Elephants are treats as God (which is exactly God Ganesha).And apparently this video is about the intoxicated 'musth'edness of the elephant.

And this does not happen all the time, well its like saying WTC was safe all the time.You cant predict anything!

OMG! That's insane. Y didn't they get out of there?! They stayed around watching! GET OUT OF THE WAY! RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

Yeh, I agree with Kyleleigh's comment. Did they not think that cramming hundreds of hysterical people and lots of agrressive, wild, enormous animals together in a small space was heading for distaster?

Melly at at 04:01PM, Aug 3rd 2009.

hmmm maybe if they werent trying to ride wild animals they wouldnt have this problem in the first place.

kyleleigh at at 05:07PM, Jul 22nd 2009.

OMG.......that's all i can utter.

The Answer at at 11:18AM, Jun 25th 2009.

this is not even that agressive

tanya at at 10:00PM, Jun 21st 2009.

sure i understand the elephant is aggressive, but really this poor animal looks like it has been treated poorly and it seems to be expresing his feeling. Its probaly like '' I HATE YOU ALL''
