INTERESTING FACT

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!

Kozer Man at 04:51PM, Mar 13th 2009.

SERIOUSLY SOMEONE LEAVE A GRAPHIC WARNING FOR THIS VIDEO. EVERYONE THIS VIDEO IS VERY GRAPHIC, UNSUITABLE FOR CHILDREN. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN MENTIONED IN THE ORIGINAL TEXT

Byron at 07:32AM, Mar 20th 2009.

oh shut up byron

buddy at 04:29PM, Apr 13th 2009.

OMGG that was such a horrible video! Byron is right - that is wayy scary and should have been mentioned in the text.

Sharona at 04:29AM, Apr 15th 2009.

Guys, hello? I believe the warning is already in the text ( the last sentence in the paragraph) The key words: Shocking, vicious, highly agressive behavior...

Passion at 07:43PM, Apr 19th 2009.

Oh, and the sentence b4 that says "will kill and destroy evrything in its path"...

Passion at 07:53PM, Apr 19th 2009.

OH MY GOD

this VIDEO is hell crazy and violent!

BE PREPARED!!

holy shit at 10:22AM, May 13th 2009.

Yes, I added one more warning to the fact about this video. It really amazes me how long took them to shoot the elephants down with tranquilizers.

Interesting Facts at 11:20AM, May 13th 2009.

Okay that is crazy! Not only is that agressive and violent but those elephants are severely underweight. You should NOT be able to thier backbones. No wonder the elephant went on a wild rage it was probably being abused. I feel worse for the elephants than i do for that man. No animal should be treated that way EVER. That is just sick.

Smiley at 01:01PM, May 24th 2009.

omg..Indians are mistreating the elephants. Maybe the elephhants dont wanna be sat on by an Indian.

Georgina at 05:26AM, Jun 1st 2009.

Okay it says what its bad in the video so get over it . No ones going to go around killing indians because they saw the video. so shut up and get a life

Me at 12:42PM, Jun 13th 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''

KIRBYISAWSOME at 11:55PM, Jun 17th 2009.

this is not even that agressive

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

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

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

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

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

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 04:01PM, Aug 3rd 2009.

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

PR0M153 at 12:08PM, Aug 4th 2009.

And I thought women were bad on their periods!

Jamie at 07:43PM, Aug 4th 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!

dinki at 12:21PM, Aug 5th 2009.

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 06:06PM, Aug 21st 2009.

i love it.
its sooooo... cool
lol

barbie at 06:51PM, Aug 24th 2009.

if i was an elephant, i wouldnt want some dirty person's nut sack on my back either. lol. the guy getting tossed already looked dead from not eating too much. aha

geo at 03:12AM, Aug 30th 2009.

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...

name at 10:23AM, Sep 29th 2009.

Can you give me your nameit is 4 a project

mae at 01:52PM, Nov 19th 2009.

Will you give me more facts about elephants

sara at 01:54PM, Nov 19th 2009.

I need his/her name too whoever made this

sara at 01:56PM, Nov 19th 2009.

Do U Ppl Not Read?! It's Acting Up Because Of Its Sexual Agressive Behavior! Not Because They Are Treated Badly, or Because Of Ppl On Their Backs!

Angie at 08:09PM, Nov 30th 2009.

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.
