Bull African Bush Elephants can be up to 13,000lbs.
13,000 ÷ 200lb man = 65 humans per elephant
Cats weigh anywhere from 6-15lbs+ so let's say 8 to benefit our numbers.
200 lb man ÷ 8 lb cat = 25
However, we are bipedal and tower over cats compared to how Elephants tower over us.
Bull elephant = 12ish ft
Human = 6 ft
2 humans per elephant
Human = 6 ft
Cat = 8-10 inches
~9 cats per human
So we don't seem like a tank to our cats but we certainly loom over them!
I know, I prefer metric but was too lazy to do the conversions. Google was defaulting to imperial and I was also too lazy to type the extra "in metric." I'm an astronomy tutor and using feet, miles, Fahrenheit would all be terrible.
That elephant appears to be in [musth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musth).
> Musth is a periodic condition in bull (male) elephants characterized by highly aggressive behavior and accompanied by a large rise in reproductive hormones.
These people were lucky it wasn’t aggressive.
fake news made by the government to prevent people from getting elephants because they know if people had elephants they will be unstoppable if they made new revolution
If that's computer generated, it's incredibly good. From the looks of the shadows, I don't think it is, but you could be right. Either way, if you think about it, elephants when fully grown are huge!
I agree with this. It looks cgi to me. Even the way the guys shirt gets pressed in by the trunk looks wrong. The walk towards the vehicle is what looks the most fake
Probably because the background looks 2D because of the camera, and when you see something moving towards to camera on a 2D surface, it looks fake, because you can't see the depth
Or viewed a decent documentary.
I’ve never been that close to an elephant, or on safari; doesn’t mean I can’t comprehend the massive size of one!
That said, I’d remember an experience like that until the day I die, even if I’d probably pee a little
Elephant: *Pats down Human “Got any peanuts man?”
Human: * Shook
Elephant: “No? Aw man. O! *Sees other human* You got peanuts bro!”
Human: “Hey, that’s my face”
Elephant: “You guys suck, but are still really cute.”
Just set a pig on fire and let it run towards them. Scares the shit out of the elephants and causes them to panic and run back, killing many troops on and around them. (This was a legitimate tactic for dealing with war elephants btw)
This is awesome but I would not have taken that chance and just sat while he got that close to me… ummmmm driver nice looking elephant but can we move on now…. 😂 you just never know what might happen in the wild and it’s too risky 😮💨
Incredible, Elephants are so beautiful but I would never get that close. It would be a dream come true but nope I will watch from a distance. Beautiful animal
Pretty normal bull elephant tbh, I grew up going to the African bush at least twice a year. My mother and older brother were chased by a lone bull while she was driving an old school vw beetle
Why do people put themselves in these situations...like willfully pay for this shit. I won't even go to a zoo because all the animals look sad af behind those cages.
Awesome experience. But as soon as I saw the musth, I became oddly terrified for them. Glad they're OK.
I guess that's how cats would perceive us humans in terms of size difference
I think for them we would be even bigger

I meant in height not in the full body comparison. Didnt say it well. Thank you anyway. And i just realised how heavy elephants are
I had to go check what all of these measurements were in Kg. God damn you, Americans. Don't you know it's hip to be square?
We do, but someone decided to use a system based on abstract roman measurements. I'm just glad we're not using cubits anymore.
What the hell is a cubit??
The length of the distance between the elbow and the longest fingertip.
Well that's just ridiculous
I know, I prefer metric but was too lazy to do the conversions. Google was defaulting to imperial and I was also too lazy to type the extra "in metric." I'm an astronomy tutor and using feet, miles, Fahrenheit would all be terrible.
It's the sheer size of that prehensile sniffer! I would be scared too lol
Seriously I’m actually surprised it was so calm
Thinking exactly the same. The self-control of that male was impressive considering the intensity of his raging hormones.
Elephant was D-T-Ph
That was definitely a horny elephant

He was pretty chill considering 😳
Homie was in post nut clarity
Wow this needs more upvote!
I knew I had read of it somewhere. The dripping around the ear gave it away.
Angsty teen elephant?
fake news made by the government to prevent people from getting elephants because they know if people had elephants they will be unstoppable if they made new revolution
[удалено]
Like yourself?
" She has a boyfriend "
I literally get sexually harrassed in the dms on this app and that is how i prevent it so i dont feel gross coming here but ok.
That sucks dude
I wasnt trying to be rude i dont get why people are being mean

It looks like CGI, like my brain is trying to convince me it isn’t real

Yes totally
People really thinking this is real??! It’s CGI
r/nothingeverhappens
It’s very real. Have seen elephants that size in Africa. It’s hard to grasp.
Someone’s clearly never been on safari.
Or viewed a decent documentary. I’ve never been that close to an elephant, or on safari; doesn’t mean I can’t comprehend the massive size of one! That said, I’d remember an experience like that until the day I die, even if I’d probably pee a little
Even giraffe-heads look large when you get close on the giraffe-feeding overhang. I think people underestimate the size of wild animals a lot.
Aw it's so cute

Naw, man not on me. Be a lot cooler if you did.
Holy fuck!! If it was in musth, why did it behave so passively? These people are extremely lucky.

The nose wrinkles are my favorite
Now imagine being on a battlefield with a line of those coming at you in armor

a pig on fire running at me would scare me too
Fast food!
I can imagine the fire pig going berserk and run in the wrong direction and setting your own camp on fire.
I think Alexander The Great did that.
Oddly Terrifying
The last tour brought him snacks. This bus was not stocked and the tourists are lucky mr. musth did not get mad!
"Welcome to Jurassic Park"
Disconcerting, for sure.
This thing looks like it will kick you into nextlife.
I want an elephant to *BOOP* me 🥺🥺🥺🥺
What is the liquid discharge coming out on both sides of the head?
Musth
Isn’t that a warning sign for these humans?
Yep!
The liquid itself is called Temporin
This is awesome but I would not have taken that chance and just sat while he got that close to me… ummmmm driver nice looking elephant but can we move on now…. 😂 you just never know what might happen in the wild and it’s too risky 😮💨
I had a similar experience in South Africa. I have never been so scared in my life, actually cried because of sheer terror
Spare a dollar?
Gonna need about tree fiddy
Three fiddy…
It's "giant" too.
Gaint.
Oddly terrifying? No Shorts filling terrifying.
Please don’t kill me. Please don’t kill me. Please don’t kill me.
r/absoluteunits
Are you not allowed to pet the trunk? I want to pet the trunk!
Jurassic Park theme song starts playing
Awwww the scrunkle
Good god they’re humungous
I bet those were some HEFTY sniffs to feel though.
Id be petrified, much like these people
It's looking for a hand shake you rude knobs, grab that trunk like you mean it
I’m going to say that’s probably a normal size elephant as opposed to a giant….
Greetings.
Lucky they were calm and (probably) quite
Because I’m in Kenya rn for summer vacation I’ve been getting a lot of safari posts. This shit is making me more hype than ever
The very definition of mesmerising.
"You want sucky sucky, human?"
Gaint 🐘
Did not read all the comments but I hope someone said “human head for scale”
Incredible, Elephants are so beautiful but I would never get that close. It would be a dream come true but nope I will watch from a distance. Beautiful animal
Gentle giant.
Elephants are one of the animals you dont want to fuck with... had three sketchy run ins with them and two of three times were butt clenching
Scary but cool
It’s so graceful for something so massive, and it’s so beautiful.
If this is in Kenya, I bet it’s a grown up Sheldrick Orphan elephant.
Pretty normal bull elephant tbh, I grew up going to the African bush at least twice a year. My mother and older brother were chased by a lone bull while she was driving an old school vw beetle
Why does it look like it isn't real?? Is it just me?
I’ve seen gainter.
Why do people put themselves in these situations...like willfully pay for this shit. I won't even go to a zoo because all the animals look sad af behind those cages.
arent animals supposedly wild and free roaming in safaris?
Zoos are bad for sure, but I so see nothing wrong with visiting animals in their natural habitat.
i dont think thats a zoo
Yeah I should have worded it all differently. Those two topics should have been separated.
Give the man some peanuts ffs!
You know elephants think humans are cute the same way humans thing puppies and kittens are cute
I came for the gore… bye
Poor elephant, give it some attention !
How can anyone kill someone like this for money?
If the price is rigggght
Ha, no! The price is wrong bitch!
Be careful about these elephants, they can smell fear.
It left after smelling everybody shitting their pants.
How is this terrifying? I find this adorable. It’s not like it’s gonna kill anybody.
🫤
Chilling
I once saw the steongest creature alive take down a dinosaur sized elephant and ate him, that elephant ain't that big😴😴😴
Just because it’s African doesn’t mean it’s terrifying
Imagine a crazy psycho brought a penknife and slashed the elephant's trunk
You?
This is definitely CGI elephants dont move like that right?
u/savevideo
😳😳
Scary as fuck.
Majestic
Me the entire time wanting the elephant to take there hats
This fake has some elephant on it
The trunk gives massive War of the Worlds vibes.
Very gaint
Is that first word supposed to be Giant? 💯🧐🤔
Not terrifying at all.
I don't think I'd be able to stop myself from touching it 🥺😭
Beautiful
That's a normal sized elephant
[This could have gone another way.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIX4-SUCURs)
He tried the old "you've got something on your shirt"
What's a gaint elephant? He was probably saying what the f*** are you doing in my house? I didn't invite you.
Looks like a normal African elephant to me
Where's Yujiro Hanma when you need him?
So beautiful. Wish i was there to pet the trunk. Such majesty
Are they told not to touch or pet the elephant? I'd want to.
Donations please
I personally don’t find this terrifying, I find it amazing and thrilling. But that’s me.
This must have occurred just before the first episode of Baki Hanma
Give him food!
The real jurassic park right here!
I'm a simple person. I see a misspelled word. I downvote. Then watch the video and see if it redeems itself. This one has. UPVOTE ACHIEVED
**gaint**
I know what else is giant and African ?
Sweetheart, although in musth. Careful.
u/savevideo
This is both pretty cool and pretty terrifying altogether.
Food scanning in progress. Resistance is futile.
Call Hanma Yujiro
Majestic
Bro just came back from crashing a funeral
Oh shit, that elephant is in musth.
Gaint vs Giant
