Episode 3: Attack of the Elephant

So we're driving around in the back of a pick-up truck with our Safari-man Stephen. We see antelope and baboons. Meh. We see tracks of lions and hyenas. Meh. Then, suddenly, off in the distance, we see an elephant. An angry mother elephant with several baby elephants. She does not like the fact that we are in her space. So she makes her angry elephant noises and starts running at us. She would charge towards us, stop, make her angry elephant noises, and then charge a little closer. It was pretty terrifying. Fortunately some of the terror was captured on video.

"Here Phil, film it!" Mom was saying. I was more concerned about having a quick exit to the opposite side of the vehicle in case the elephant decided to actually ram us. Apparently it wasn't too far off from that... the Safari-man Stephen ended up shooting the elephant. Not shooting it dead, just kind of scaring it away. Except it wasn't that scared. And although the driver had stopped the truck, he was having trouble starting it again. For a minute I thought we would be gored to death. But then the truck started and we quickly drove away.
On the way back we saw some elephants on the main road. They were calm and used to people. They didn't make any angry elephant noises. Basically they were boring.
Boring
So I'm glad we got to see some angry elephants.
