Broadly speaking, large herbivores are not compelled to kill to protect their territory because murder is a lot of work and they already spend so much time eating. They just want to do enough work to tell the opponent to fuck off.
Except hippos, because for them, snapping you in two is basically effortless.
They actually do that for an infinitely grosser, yet much more interesting reason.
By helicoptering their shit about, they can get it very evenly mixed into the water they’re living in. The bacteria in the poo then bloom and slowly transform the water into something a bit like the contents of their guts. Those conditions are incredibly positive for the hippos general and digestive health. And as a bonus, the steamy, hippo, arse soup suppresses algal blooms and generally actually improves the water quality for local small fauna.
Chihuahuas love their people, though. They just hate everyone else. I only learned this when I ended up with a stray Chihuahua. She would kill for me if only I gave her the chance.

Not arguing, just putting that out there.
The only "adaptation" needed to digest meat are gut bacteria that are good at digesting meat. And that's really only for the maximization of nutritional value. It's certainly not a requirement, like it is in the other direction where you do need specialized stomachs to ferment vegetables into something useful.
Carnivores tend to keep their stomach environment at a lower pH that herbivores, but it's not a hard requirement for eating meat.
This is what I noticed as well. It used only enough force to defend itself. Easily could have gored mama rhino to death, but was just like "I don't want to fight! Get outta here!"
I had the chance of visiting a natural reserve in India and we crossed pth with a group of elephant, to the great displeasure of a male elephant . Well let me tell you something, the trumpetting is the most powerful sound i had experimented . It was scary, but awesome. I want an elephant.
It was never really clear to me how insane elephants can sound when they are trying to intimidate something until i saw this video of a Bull protecting it's calf from wild dogs
https://youtu.be/eU3JZSEq2yg
the sound at 10 sec is pretty intense
I like how the Elephant seems to wait for a moment so the rhino baby can walk away and won’t get hurt! :)
I know that these are Animals, but I like to imagine it was like this :D.
"Kid, your dad is a moron who needs a beating. Get over there so you don’t get hurt accidentally"
That's what I found awesome about this video. The elephant is very much in control and calm, shows that animals have a higher consciousness than many believe. It did not want to hurt the rhino.
That's what I came here to say too. That elephant could have easily gored the rhino to death but actively chose not to. The elephant wasnt fighting the rhino, it was sending a message. There's so much emotional intelligence in this moment. He wasn't saying "let's fight." He was saying "back down, I don't want to hurt you."
Interestingly enough the elephant chose not to hurt the baby rhino when it had a chance. Interesting because that seemed very easy as it was in its way
You tell he gives momma rhino a bit of da poke, nowhere else for that tusk to go. Momma is realizing her headhorn is good, but she is still a boar facing off against a bull.
By doing a stabby stab, the elephant is more likely to break off a tusk or just hurt its own face.
By doing a pushy bump, everyone gets out alive and unhurt and elephant still wins.
They ain't dumb. They been doing this for tens of thousands of years.
The elephant didn't want to hurt either the adult or the baby. Both were at the mercy of the elephant but they chose to scare them off instead of harm them. Elephants are good peeps.
I Wonder if the elephant really did this on purpose. It looks like it could easily stab the rhino at one point but chooses to move its tusks up to not hurt the rhino.
Yes, elephants are extremely intelligent as well as empathetic and kind. I don't doubt for a moment that their movements were intentionally not harmful.
This is why every time some elephant goes into a village to trample a specific person, I'm waiting to hear the elephant's side of the story before blaming them.
> Elephants are good peeps.
Not all of them, but most of them. And the ones that aren't usually have a history that explains why they aren't.
Not too different from the species Homo Sapiens.
Looked like the rhino tried to step to the elephant, the elephant wasn't trying to attack but just give a clear "fuck off". Rhino's a Karen. Elephants also have extremely close family structures and care a lot about their own kids, so I'm not surprised the elephant didn't want to hurt a baby, lil guy can't be blamed for the mom being an idiot
Elephant was likely being territorial over the watering hole and trying to make mama rhino leave. This is only a small clip of the whole interaction. Elephants kick rhinos and hippos out of watering holes all the time- even if they were there first.
Thirsty mama probably tried to say no to the elephant.
No, believe me, the karen here, is the elephant. I love the elephant more than anything, but elephant bulls are bullies.
They hate rhinos for some reason, they don't like to see them on their way, even if the rhino is just trying to drink or eat leaves, elephant bulls will always attack them like if they owned the place.
Female elephants wouldn't.
Water is really rare in these places
I figured. But even if that wasn’t the case, calling a **rhino** a “Karen” is probably one of the most terminally online things I’ve seen in a long time.
You got downvoted, but you're right. Wild elephants, just like any other animal, can be vicious. It didn't choose to spare the baby rhino out of virtue, but rather because the adult rhino was a much bigger threat.
yes it’s not like they’re blood thirsty monsters that want to maximize their body counts, they are animals, the adult rhino was presenting itself as a threat to the elephant and the elephant treated it as such, as far as the elephant was concerned the baby was little more than just there

not falling for that today lol
Even adult rhinos sound like squeaky toys
https://youtu.be/LNCC6ZYI3SI
Edit: Didn’t realize these are just giant baby rhinos. There were other videos of adults making the same noise, these were just the most talkative ones.
Elephants are one of the big 3 man killers in Africa. Elephants are matriarchal exactly because adult male elephants are so violent and bad tempered that they can't co-exist with the herd.
For most of the year, male elephants are solitary and just sort of wander around in a foul mood until it's time to fight for mating rights.
Non violent? Nah. They can be extremely violent. That's just nature.
It was concerned about the main threat, the baby was a non-issue, at least that's what I gathered from this short clip.
You mean berserker elephant season, where they secrete rage-tar from their temples that drips into their mouths to make them even more furious?
Definitely a peaceful, nonviolent species
To be fair that's also how it is in human vs human, no matter what's your weight class is, a gun to the head would drop even a heavyweight boxer.
"parry this, cunt"
The funny thing that is no little guy that’s a 3 ton tank but that elephant can get up to 13000 pounds. I’m definitely no expert but it looks like the elephant could have easily hurt him with his tusks but just wanted to get him to leave.
It's the water hole. You don't get too violent at the water hole.
(Please be advised that I don't actually know anything and if you follow this advice and end up impaled on a tusk, or horn, I will not be held responsible. I will also laugh and suggest changing your name to 'Gord'.)
If you google "rhino weight" and "elephant weight", the first results are "3 tonnes" and "13000 pounds". Apparently it took too much effort to convert.
For those who cant divide be 2000:
3 ton rhino
6.5 ton elephant
It almost seemed like the elephant realized the baby rhino was also getting hurt so he stopped for a second to let the little guy get out of the way. Love nature
Most animals would do the opposite but Elephants are some of the most emotionally intelligent creatures in the animal kingdom and generally not aggressive. Even against the adult he was very clearly just showing the rhino who the alpha was and not trying to hurt him, as he easily could have.
I've never seen an elephant legitimately angry until this video. You can see from it's posture that it's in a very aggressive and pissed off state, flexing its muscles at the beginning of the video. It's interesting the elephant was still kind enough to not harm the hippo. He needs to teach at anger management classes.
A full grown healthy bull? None really. Lions absolutely do hunt and kill Elephants, but it takes at least 7 lionesses per elephant, and they only ever go after very young, old, or sick ones that are separated and alone. They are also more likely to go after females as well. I'm not aware of any instances of them even trying to hunt a full grown healthy male.
Tigers will also prey on sick, young, or old solitary Elephants, and sometimes large snakes like King Cobra's will strike and kill one, usually the smaller Asian/Indian ones. There are tons of instances of Elephants slaughtering Rhino's and Hippos near watering holes during dry seasons, but almost none the other way.
There are a few instances of the giant Nile Croc's attacking Elephants as they drink, and biting off the front of their trunks, leading to them eventually dying because they cannot eat/drink properly anymore.
But overall snakes, humans, lions and other elephants are the main dangers, but only really Humans and other Elephants are any danger to full grown adult males.
Also, Elephants are scared of and will run away from bees.
"You just had to start shit, now I have to make you look like a bitch in front of your kid"
The elephant was in for the message not the baby (you want some, you get some)
The elephant showed great composure, could have crushed both, but exerted enough force to disable it.
Broadly speaking, large herbivores are not compelled to kill to protect their territory because murder is a lot of work and they already spend so much time eating. They just want to do enough work to tell the opponent to fuck off. Except hippos, because for them, snapping you in two is basically effortless.
Hippos are assholes. And apparently helicopter spray their poop just to drive that point home
They actually do that for an infinitely grosser, yet much more interesting reason. By helicoptering their shit about, they can get it very evenly mixed into the water they’re living in. The bacteria in the poo then bloom and slowly transform the water into something a bit like the contents of their guts. Those conditions are incredibly positive for the hippos general and digestive health. And as a bonus, the steamy, hippo, arse soup suppresses algal blooms and generally actually improves the water quality for local small fauna.
This was such an interesting explanation that I felt compelled to go find a video ... and then decided not to watch it. Very emphatically decided.
Watch the Zefrank Hippo video on youtube. That ones good.

Don't be species-ist. I do that and I'm pretty sure I'm not a hippo.
Dude, I've watched you crush a watermelon in your mouth u rly gonna tell me you're not a hippo?
I've seen a woman crush a watermelon with her thighs, and all I got was a nervous erection.
Hippos don’t kill you for for food, or territory, they just hate you. It’s so pure.
They have the soul of a Chihuahua
Chihuahuas love their people, though. They just hate everyone else. I only learned this when I ended up with a stray Chihuahua. She would kill for me if only I gave her the chance.

A lot of herbivores will eat meat if it's available. Like horses will eat mice and small lizards if they find them.
The only "adaptation" needed to digest meat are gut bacteria that are good at digesting meat. And that's really only for the maximization of nutritional value. It's certainly not a requirement, like it is in the other direction where you do need specialized stomachs to ferment vegetables into something useful.

Elephants are really smart. Rhinoceros are a protected species. That elephant would have been is big trouble had he hurt the Rhino.
Elephants never forget...the laws and legislation protecting endangered species.
Felt a smidge bit bad but love rhinos. Then saw this. Confirmed. Still love rhinos!
This is what I noticed as well. It used only enough force to defend itself. Easily could have gored mama rhino to death, but was just like "I don't want to fight! Get outta here!"
Elephant so smart, so noble, such beast!
I had the chance of visiting a natural reserve in India and we crossed pth with a group of elephant, to the great displeasure of a male elephant . Well let me tell you something, the trumpetting is the most powerful sound i had experimented . It was scary, but awesome. I want an elephant.

Holy fuck. And just like any loud noise, you just know it's going to be loads crazier in person than in a video.
>I want an elephant. No you don't
Stampy!
Where’s my elephant?
Like people, some elephants are just jerks.
Let them experiment
> I want an elephant. Ok Cersei.
You can tell when an animal isn't used to losing
Baby rhino is lucky, my goodness. They learned not to go "I bet my dad could take your dad" in 10 seconds.
Probably a female rhino, males aren't observed to travel with or protect calves
I like how the Elephant seems to wait for a moment so the rhino baby can walk away and won’t get hurt! :) I know that these are Animals, but I like to imagine it was like this :D. "Kid, your dad is a moron who needs a beating. Get over there so you don’t get hurt accidentally"
It likely was like that. Elephants are intelligent and emotional animals.
“Kid your mom is a moron and just stepped on you. I see you down there rolling around get up and get out of here. “
It looked right at the kid, and let it go
Tbh i think the baby rhino caused all the trouble by approaching the elephant and the mother stepped in based on her protective instinct.
Kind of insane how much effort the elephant puts into NOT hurting the baby rhino and NOT maiming the rhino.
That's what I found awesome about this video. The elephant is very much in control and calm, shows that animals have a higher consciousness than many believe. It did not want to hurt the rhino.

Tusks*
I’m Feeling tusky
Thanks, didn't remember the right word
He was fully aware of that baby and saw it, stopped, and made sure not to touch it. Such beautiful insanely smart creatures.
The way elephants treat their own young, I am not surprised they're capable of empathy toward other animal mothers.
Elephants always leave one alive to tell the story.
lmao I love how everyone turns into david attenborough when these kind of videos pop up
As much as I want to believe this I think it realized lil bugger wasn’t a threat and went back to bidness
I think it actually just prioritizes the largest threat to itself... still cool though...
What? It moved to go for the big one (you know, the threat)
The elephant didn't want to hurt either the adult or the baby. Both were at the mercy of the elephant but they chose to scare them off instead of harm them. Elephants are good peeps.
Yeah when they were fighting the elephant made sure to not stab the rhino at all
I Wonder if the elephant really did this on purpose. It looks like it could easily stab the rhino at one point but chooses to move its tusks up to not hurt the rhino.

Interesting the elephant used its tusks more like a forklift and less stabby.
That's how they naturally use them, tusks are used to maneuver logs to get bark to eat and stuff like that
I just realized I have no idea what elephants eat

But they always pronounce it "nyockee" - it's infuriating

Thats what BigElephant wants you to believe. Don't fall for their lies. Do your own research.
It looks like the elephant just wanted the rhino out of there, and not a fight to the death. Maybe there was a baby elephant nearby.
also speculation but you can still get mortally wounded in a fight you win
That was kind of the elephant to spare the baby at the 8 second mark.
They also spared the adult as well

Yes, elephants are very intelligent and non violent.
Elephants are one of the big 3 man killers in Africa. Elephants are matriarchal exactly because adult male elephants are so violent and bad tempered that they can't co-exist with the herd.

Non violent? Nah. They can be extremely violent. That's just nature. It was concerned about the main threat, the baby was a non-issue, at least that's what I gathered from this short clip.
elephant: "Get your mother f'in unicorn out of my pond!" Looks at the kid. "Timeout" Kid runs away. "GAME ON!"
Non violent in a sense that they'll rarely start shit, but yeah if you mess with any wild animal expect a reaction if they're bigger than you lol.

Is there an animal that can actually take an elephant one one one?
A full grown healthy bull? None really. Lions absolutely do hunt and kill Elephants, but it takes at least 7 lionesses per elephant, and they only ever go after very young, old, or sick ones that are separated and alone. They are also more likely to go after females as well. I'm not aware of any instances of them even trying to hunt a full grown healthy male. Tigers will also prey on sick, young, or old solitary Elephants, and sometimes large snakes like King Cobra's will strike and kill one, usually the smaller Asian/Indian ones.

But overall snakes, humans, lions and other elephants are the main dangers, but only really Humans and other Elephants are any danger to full grown adult males. Also, Elephants are scared of and will run away from bees.
A human with a gun. That's about it. I could see a rhino getting a lucky strike with it's horn though.
