A fully grown elephant has no natural predators. Humans are the only animal that can reliably kill them. Young, sick, and old elephants can be killed, especially by lions, crocodiles, hyenas, but it's rare for a healthy adult elephant to be reliably killed.
Kind of reminds me of this nature story/clip about a pride of lions I believe trying to take down a fully-grown giraffe. I don’t remember if it was fully-grown or close to it, but it was definitely huge, and they must have bit a bit desperate.
They went at it for something like four hours, with the giraffe being an absolutely tank that kept shrugging and kicking them off. I don’t remember if they managed to finally bring it down or just gave up, just that it was a serious ordeal for all of them.
Thanks, but no thanks. Am I the only one who can’t bear to watch kill videos? I’m such a sap I can’t even watch movies with animals supposedly being hurt or I just look away. When I’m watching a horror movie and they introduce a pet into it, I usually turn it off as I know what’s coming.
Planet earth keeps it pretty classy. But animal fight night is so trashy and unnecessary. It's like if SPIKE had an animal show. Fuckin Steve Irwin Bob Ross and Mr Rodgers are all ashamedly looking down on the shows creators.
fr. i saw that one BATTLE between them. Its amazing how combat is universal. The elephant basically prodded and pulled back slightly right as the rhino charged making it off balance. By then it was game over. Elephant charges, gets side control, and basically pushed the rhino down and that elephant face shove with his tusks and stabbed. You can tell when it hurt the Rhino. Both walk away though.
Wow, the size difference there is stark. Wonder if that's a large bull elephant, because it doesn't look like a particularly small rhino - good sized horns at least.
Between these two rhino's and that elephant.. if they had their horns, I'm not sure mommy would be the one left standing, 1 on 1 sure, 2 rhino's though.. dodging one, getting slammed by the other.. hmm 🤔 wouldn't want to witness it.
Even so, these rhino's are not at all looking to fight.
When Mythbusters were were in Africa for shark week they tested that on wild elephants and it honestly seems somewhat accurate. Though I get the feeling they more didn't want to squish it as opposed to being scared, but they did immediately halt and gave it a wide berth and walked around it. I'm not going to describe the various ways they tested it but it was very interesting.
They later admitted that it wasn't very scientific as they were using white lab mice instead of mice with natural coats like brown and grey. They also admitted that it seemed less about fear of the thing and surprise at it suddenly popping into existence (from their pov).
Yeah, even watching it when it first aired, I thought it felt more like the elephants response was "What the hell just happened? That poop just became a mouse. Better steer clear." Rather than "Eek, a mouse".
Depends on human, prep time and tool usage I suppose, also what is the prep time, is it time to aim your rifle? Remove guns, then most humans lose with prep time. I could dig a hole around myself for example, but what if the elephant doesn't walk in, what if it improvises, throws rocks etc. Most people have no experience with this (lol) so a lot of strategies would fail by default and then the elephant wins. Gun powder weapons and their ability to be used by anyone is the biggest factor, without it human struggles, some could do it, probably not most people, a lot would definitely fail.
I like the punt a badger video from a little while back, like I know those badgers would soundly kick my ass all over the place and the Elephant with what looked like a gentle kick sent it flying.
I’m so excited to see this here in Reddit. My friend Marsha Williams took this last week in So Africa and she’s not a Redditor. She shares her work on Insta (should you dare go there) @mewilliamsphotography
Horses can't digest meat at all, even though they will deliberately kill and eat small things and make themselves sick. I would guess cows, being ruminants, are the same. My horse loves raw eggs and killed a chicken that got in his stall, but eggs and chicken have no place in his diet. They can get salmonella, too. It's a behavioral thing for them to eat animals, not a nutritional one.
Eating the odd piece of meat doesn't mean they're classified as omnivores or opportunistic carnivores. Its not part of their regular diet, they can't digest it properly, and they haven't evolved to eat them. They're still herbivores. My rabbit would eat anything I did if I let him. He's still a herbivore.
hippos are biologically classified as obligate herbivores. The classification is assigned based on dominant energy pathway, not perfect purity. 95–99% of a wild hippo’s caloric intake is from plant-matter, and they have physiological adaptations for digesting plant matter - multi-chambered stomach, specialised gut microbes for cellulose breadown and plant fiber fermentation, long digestive tract etc.
My understanding is that its mainly about digestive length. With a long digestive tract you can extract more energy out of the same amount of plant material, which means you can support more tissue which lets you be big enough to have a longer digestive tract. Once you get past a certain size, it just becomes more efficient to get bigger - an animal double the size doesn't need double the food.
Being bigger also makes you a difficult target for predators, but that just applies equally to all animals. Predators need protection from other predators too, as well as fighting other animals competing for the same resources.
Predators only attack the sick, weak, and injured. No real use in attacking the strong and healthy because that's just going to make problems.
Most megafauna are herbivores. And they, on the other hand, are perfectly happy to hand anyone who comes their way a megadose of vitamin Fuck Up Your Day.
Rhinos are known for being pretty friendly when raised in captivity/ around people so I buy it to be honest... it's been said they have a doglike vibe on the zoo shows I watch
So much body language happening here! Watch the rhino's tail lol. Then mamma with the lowered head clearly saying "what exactly are you doing?" Then the rhino looks at the other like "you good?" then lowers its head in response to the elephant as if to say "we good, just got a little carried away I guess." Elephants calmly continue and the rhino's make their position clear with a final scoot back to give em space. Good job team.
While the top comment puts it in very human terms, the basic idea is right. Elephants and rhinos use body posture, vocalisations and spacing to negotiate these moments. The mother’s display was a clear warning, and the rhinos responded by dropping their tail, pausing and giving ground. It’s perfectly normal cross-species communication to avoid a fight, not just someone anthropomorphising them
Yeah, most of the time in the animal kingdom animals making themselves larger are doing so to seem threatening, while making themselves smaller is a way of submitting. Other common ways are breaking eye contact, lowering their head, and less aggressive vocalizations.
Edit: also, showing the backside is usually displayed by the animal in the more dominant position, think of it as “I’m not afraid of you attacking from behind.”
When Elephant gets big ears it means, you better stop everything you do and back the fuck off. Usually when animals try to make themselves look big (kinda given with an elephant) they wanna look threatening.
Cute, maybe, but the camera angle doesn’t do them justice. Look at mama elephant over there, that’s a fully grown African elephant. Large enough for baby to walk under her. Then compare her size to the rhinos. Those are huge rhinos.
Rhinos can be ornery, but they’re not typically overly aggressive if not threatened. As another commenter mentioned, they were very much just curious and got closer than intended. Mum said “Hey, that’s close enough.” and the message was received.
Had she felt any real danger from the situation, she would not have waited for the message to arrive.
Yeah I've seen rhinos be pretty curious about a lot of stuff. Once it was a waterbuffalo (I think) and obviously Mom just had to let it happen because what's she gonna do? There were more than 3 there if I recall. They were just curious to see what the fuss was about.
From what I remember, rhinos are one step removed from being blind. They see the world in fuzzy shapes. Probably thought the young elephant was a rhino calf or something.
Ok, she’s still a little cow that’s probably around 3 tonnes. Bull African bush elephants are on average two tonnes heavier and the larger males can be more than triple her mass.
This baby is very young and still uncoordinated. It takes baby elephants a couple years to fully develop their motor functions.
One area you can see their refinement is their trunk skills. By one year old, they will be able to grasp objects and manipulate things pretty well. By year two, they will begin to have full mastery. They're super cute when young, because they can't really use their trunks and they kind of flop around while learning from momma and mimicking their movements. Adult elephants use their trunks to grasp objects, eat, drink, etc etc. Baby elephants have to use their mouths for that, which is really adorable for an elephant.
Are you sure that's an adult female? Small size, small tusks, no mammary glands visible between the front legs. Could it be an adolescent with little brother or sister?
Female savanna elephants are generally around 8 to 9 ft tall at the shoulder. A rhino can exceed 6 ft on the same measurement. Tusks vary in size, and are generally smaller in elephants in the south of the continent, where this was filmed. Her nipples would be between the forelimbs and we don't get a great view of that.
Rhinos have really bad eyesight I have to wonder if he didn't even realize who he was following ar first or if he was just trying to get a better look lol
Do you ever wonder if all the animals in a particular ecosystem have some sort of understanding of each other's verbal communication? Obviously the visual communication works well, but are there sounds this rhino could make that the elephant would interpret as passive?
"That's what I thought!"
The rhino’s tail curling up in excitement and then instantly dropping between its legs… bwahahaha!
Thank you for pointing this out. So funny.
I was so busy watching baby scamper under Mom that I didn't even notice this. Thanks for pointing it out!
Rhino: “Sorry M’am. Won’t happen again.”
Don’t talk to me or my son again
Came here looking for this! 😂
“We good?”
“Yes.”
“I said are we good here?”
“Yes ma’am.”
“I thought so.”
Then the final check-in with the kid.
"You ok? I told you to stay close." lmao
That rhino instantly got the message, really impressive to see.
In every video of rhino vs elephant, the rhino gets one-tapped.
Those elephant tusks aren't comfortable when they are tearing out your guts, and the rhino knows that.
Not to mention that rhino's horn looks like it's been removed, so it has no "weapon" with which to put up a fight.
This thought made me sad. Freaking poachers ruin everything.
If it makes you feel any better the horns might have been removed by conservationists so poachers don’t kill the rhinos.
Well yeah but poachers nesessitated that lol.
Fair enough. Still better alive than dead.
100%!
No maybe about it. Poachers don't do that, they just kill them. Fuck poachers.
And fuck the stupid of people thinking they are medicine
I have heard that before but it still sucks either way.
Does a fully-grown African elephant lose to anything? A pride of lions maybe but they’re probably coming out of it pretty fucked up.
A fully grown elephant has no natural predators. Humans are the only animal that can reliably kill them. Young, sick, and old elephants can be killed, especially by lions, crocodiles, hyenas, but it's rare for a healthy adult elephant to be reliably killed.
Elephants are often in herds and defend each other, as you can see in the video, so it's even more uncommon. In this video by the BBC, it took 30 lions to take down a young elephant that was isolated. This was an adolescent "teenager", about 10-14 years old.
Kind of reminds me of this nature story/clip about a pride of lions I believe trying to take down a fully-grown giraffe. I don’t remember if it was fully-grown or close to it, but it was definitely huge, and they must have bit a bit desperate.
They went at it for something like four hours, with the giraffe being an absolutely tank that kept shrugging and kicking them off. I don’t remember if they managed to finally bring it down or just gave up, just that it was a serious ordeal for all of them.
These massive herbivores do not mess around.
If its the same clip we're both thinking of the giraffe fell down but managed to get back up and run away
And the last lion to make an attempt gets absolutely bowled over, prime Derrick Henry style. Loved it
Thanks, but no thanks. Am I the only one who can’t bear to watch kill videos? I’m such a sap I can’t even watch movies with animals supposedly being hurt or I just look away. When I’m watching a horror movie and they introduce a pet into it, I usually turn it off as I know what’s coming.
Planet earth keeps it pretty classy. But animal fight night is so trashy and unnecessary. It's like if SPIKE had an animal show. Fuckin Steve Irwin Bob Ross and Mr Rodgers are all ashamedly looking down on the shows creators.
nah you’re not alone. same here
So a teenaged elephant is a literal raid boss
Elephants are the true kings of the jungle.
Imaging how terrifying elephant mom’s would be if they wore flip flops! (Thongs to those in Oz)
i wonder if/how The Thong Song hit differently down under.
Who u looking at Rhino?
"Really interesting sand around here..."
My dog does the same thing when she's sniffing at something she knows she shouldn't
Mummy elephant: "Get the fuck away from my baby or I swear to God I will not be responsible for my actions"
Rhinos: "Cool, cool, just wanted to hang out, no harm done"
Those rhinos are huge.
Ohh yeah, rhinos are definitely huge.
That said, it's also worth noting that African bush elephants can effortlessly toss a rhino around. That's how terrifyingly strong elephants can be.
fr. i saw that one BATTLE between them. Its amazing how combat is universal. The elephant basically prodded and pulled back slightly right as the rhino charged making it off balance. By then it was game over. Elephant charges, gets side control, and basically pushed the rhino down and that elephant face shove with his tusks and stabbed. You can tell when it hurt the Rhino. Both walk away though.
Uh that rhino ran away crying and prolly died
Maybe this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XcWlIPOLis
He brought a knife to a gun 💪💪 fight
Wow, the size difference there is stark. Wonder if that's a large bull elephant, because it doesn't look like a particularly small rhino - good sized horns at least.
Yeah compared to OPs post this elephant seems bigger
yep thats the one
Between these two rhino's and that elephant.. if they had their horns, I'm not sure mommy would be the one left standing, 1 on 1 sure, 2 rhino's though.. dodging one, getting slammed by the other.. hmm 🤔 wouldn't want to witness it.
Even so, these rhino's are not at all looking to fight.
We're powerscaling rhinos and elephants now
No need to. Elephants Destroy all other land animals 1 on 1, including humans
Cartoons have indicated a single tiny mouse can win fairly easily.
When Mythbusters were were in Africa for shark week they tested that on wild elephants and it honestly seems somewhat accurate. Though I get the feeling they more didn't want to squish it as opposed to being scared, but they did immediately halt and gave it a wide berth and walked around it. I'm not going to describe the various ways they tested it but it was very interesting.
They later admitted that it wasn't very scientific as they were using white lab mice instead of mice with natural coats like brown and grey. They also admitted that it seemed less about fear of the thing and surprise at it suddenly popping into existence (from their pov).
Yeah, even watching it when it first aired, I thought it felt more like the elephants response was "What the hell just happened? That poop just became a mouse. Better steer clear." Rather than "Eek, a mouse".
What about a human with prep time?
Bruce? That you?
Depends on human, prep time and tool usage I suppose, also what is the prep time, is it time to aim your rifle? Remove guns, then most humans lose with prep time. I could dig a hole around myself for example, but what if the elephant doesn't walk in, what if it improvises, throws rocks etc. Most people have no experience with this (lol) so a lot of strategies would fail by default and then the elephant wins. Gun powder weapons and their ability to be used by anyone is the biggest factor, without it human struggles, some could do it, probably not most people, a lot would definitely fail.
And we're back to the old question of "in how far is tool use part of the human arsenal in match ups against animals"
But I think we can all agree, 100 dudes could take on a gorilla
If she had full tusks… ooof
There's no reason for two herbivores to fight in this situation, so neither group would be willing to risk an injury here.
Even two rhinos with horns lose to a enraged mama elephant
I like the punt a badger video from a little while back, like I know those badgers would soundly kick my ass all over the place and the Elephant with what looked like a gentle kick sent it flying.
Elephants are cool and scary at times
The elephant cow probably is a younger one too, possibly her first calf
This elephant is surprisingly close in size to those Rhinos.
Or maybe this elephant is smaller
I’m so excited to see this here in Reddit. My friend Marsha Williams took this last week in So Africa and she’s not a Redditor. She shares her work on Insta (should you dare go there) @mewilliamsphotography
Please feel free to credit her, if she so wishes. I could not track down the original content creator.
Thank you Prestigious-Wall5616!
It's funny how the biggest, baddest mf out there is an herbivore.
The 3 largest land animals on the planet are all pretty badass, and also herbivores. Elephants, rhinos and hippos.
Oh no, hippo's are not herbivores.. they eat meat or fish whenever they get the chance.
My understanding is that nearly all herbivores are actually opportunistic carnivores, such as horses eating chicks. Even cows eat rabbits.
And even rabbits eat rabbits if they feel threatened enough.
look nobody can resist eating a rabbit now and again ok they're danged good eatin'
Horses can't digest meat at all, even though they will deliberately kill and eat small things and make themselves sick. I would guess cows, being ruminants, are the same. My horse loves raw eggs and killed a chicken that got in his stall, but eggs and chicken have no place in his diet. They can get salmonella, too. It's a behavioral thing for them to eat animals, not a nutritional one.
What!!!!!! TIL

Fair. Primarily herbivores. Many such animals eat flesh now and then.
A lot of herbivores eat meat from time to time, that doesn't make them omnivores. Hippos are still considered herbivores.
They're still classed as herbivores.
Even in the water, the largest whale eats only krill. Not an herbivore obviously, but also not a threat to anything you can see with the naked eye.
Gorillas
Giraffes
Opportunistic carnivores*
Rhino - pure herbivore
Would recommend looking into the subject more it's quite interesting.
All of the biggest dinosaurs were herbivores too.
Being bigger makes you a more difficult target for predators.
My understanding is that its mainly about digestive length. With a long digestive tract you can extract more energy out of the same amount of plant material, which means you can support more tissue which lets you be big enough to have a longer digestive tract.

Its always been that way right? Big ol herbivores have ways of being scary. Mammoths, Giant ground sloths, Moose, Sauropods, Ceratopsians
That was honestly very respectful and civilized lmao
I don’t blame the rhino. Baby elephants are fucking adorable and I’d want to get too close too
Your comment reminded me to check r/BabyElephantGIFs.
She straight said BACK THE FUCK UP! and they then try and pretend to be casually eating dirt.😂
Bitch I am an elephant!
They were following the baby like it was a cute puppy, I wonder if that's what they were thinking 😂
Rhinos are known for being pretty friendly when raised in captivity/ around people so I buy it to be honest... it's been said they have a doglike vibe on the zoo shows I watch
They have incredibly poor eyesight I think, so they startle easily, they also seem quite curious in most of the videos I see, not a great combo lol
Yeah i bet! Dangerous! On the zoo shows i've seen they like scratches and treats though which is kinda cute
So much body language happening here! Watch the rhino's tail lol. Then mamma with the lowered head clearly saying "what exactly are you doing?" Then the rhino looks at the other like "you good?" then lowers its head in response to the elephant as if to say "we good, just got a little carried away I guess." Elephants calmly continue and the rhino's make their position clear with a final scoot back to give em space. Good job team.
Can anyone confirm what’s actually happening or is it Reddit humanising animal body language again?
While the top comment puts it in very human terms, the basic idea is right. Elephants and rhinos use body posture, vocalisations and spacing to negotiate these moments.

When Elephant gets big ears it means, you better stop everything you do and back the fuck off. Usually when animals try to make themselves look big (kinda given with an elephant) they wanna look threatening.
Those rhinos look so sheepish and cute after they were reprimanded
They probably thought they were all hanging out, crossing a river, doing herbivore things.
"I just thought... like an uncle... apologies 😔"
Cute, maybe, but the camera angle doesn’t do them justice. Look at mama elephant over there, that’s a fully grown African elephant. Large enough for baby to walk under her. Then compare her size to the rhinos. Those are huge rhinos.
The baby knocking his head on his mother's leg💀 kid was not looking at all lol
TIL elephants kids are just like human kids lol
What would rhinos do to the baby elephant anyways? Obviously they know not to f with the mom, but do they have a record of messing with the babies?
They wouldn't dare with mom around. Elephants are extremely protective of their young though.
Rhinos can be ornery, but they’re not typically overly aggressive if not threatened. As another commenter mentioned, they were very much just curious and got closer than intended. Mum said “Hey, that’s close enough.” and the message was received.
Had she felt any real danger from the situation, she would not have waited for the message to arrive.
Baby elephants are also very curious, so it's possible baby might decide to mess with the rhinos. Best to keep some distance.
“Why so smol”-Rhino
Yeah I've seen rhinos be pretty curious about a lot of stuff. Once it was a waterbuffalo (I think) and obviously Mom just had to let it happen because what's she gonna do? There were more than 3 there if I recall. They were just curious to see what the fuss was about.
Right, but they wouldn’t dare what exactly?
Rhinos have such bad eyesight I wouldn’t be surprised if they thought the calf was a baby rhino
From what I remember, rhinos are one step removed from being blind. They see the world in fuzzy shapes. Probably thought the young elephant was a rhino calf or something.
Doubt it thought the baby elephant was a rhino calf. They are nearsighted and color blind but not one step removed from blind.

That could be a heavy duty rumble right there!
Would be a very one sided fight. Elephants can spear the rhino and move them around with so much ease it boggles the mind.
Looks like pretty even battle smallish elephant vs 2 big rhinos.
African elephant. Also, the largest Asian rhino species (Indian Rhino) have only one horn.
Oh so the elephants aren’t small the rhinos are huge.
No, its an African elephant, you can tell that by its ears
Ok, she’s still a little cow that’s probably around 3 tonnes. Bull African bush elephants are on average two tonnes heavier and the larger males can be more than triple her mass.
She said rhiHellNo!
Lololol 😂 😂 😂 🤣
omg look at the baby elephant crashing onto mom's leg, that cracked me up so much!
Look like a nice respectful interaction
"don't ever talk to my son"
"Can we adopt the little booper snooter??"
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"
Back. The fuck. Up.
If she had thumbs she'd be snapping.
"sorry, but your child smells funny" - rhino
Does baby have a limp?
Feet sinking into the soft sand I reckon.
He is still learning to walk on different surfaces
This baby is very young and still uncoordinated. It takes baby elephants a couple years to fully develop their motor functions.
One area you can see their refinement is their trunk skills. By one year old, they will be able to grasp objects and manipulate things pretty well. By year two, they will begin to have full mastery.

Adult elephants use their trunks to grasp objects, eat, drink, etc etc. Baby elephants have to use their mouths for that, which is really adorable for an elephant.
Moms will always be mom's...
Hey dawg quit creeping on my kid.
"Back it up. Back it up, slow. Yeah."
"Back it up."
"Yeah."
"Back it up."
"Okay."
"B-B-B-B-Back it up."
"That's it."
"That's right."
"Backin' up?"
"Yep, just backin' up."
"No, no. Just back it up.""
Are you sure that's an adult female? Small size, small tusks, no mammary glands visible between the front legs. Could it be an adolescent with little brother or sister?
Female savanna elephants are generally around 8 to 9 ft tall at the shoulder. A rhino can exceed 6 ft on the same measurement. Tusks vary in size, and are generally smaller in elephants in the south of the continent, where this was filmed. Her nipples would be between the forelimbs and we don't get a great view of that.
Rhino was just trying to get a good close up for his instagram profile lol
"Woops, sorry ma'am"
Should we be concerned that these rhinos don't seem to have horns?
They've been dehorned by a wildlife veterinarian, to deter poachers.
That's a smart strategy. However, wouldn't this put them in disadvantage against other animals?
"Fuck off Randy"
I wouldn't want to mess with an angry elephant momma!
Ofc not.. we're puny humans..
Slightly off topic but when baby elephants are nursing do they do the trunk suck then squirt in their mouth or go in mouth first?
Mouth only
Beautiful maternal instinct..
Rhino got the message loud & clear
Love her boots
The rhino looked so betrayed. "I thought we were friend?" 😢
Oh man, that rhino's tail is giving away all the secrets! 😂
That rhino's tail is spilling all the tea! 😂
Finally a good video without annoying background music
Kinda hot in these rhinos
That's how I sometimes when waiting in a line. Next time, I'll trumpet scream at the person behind me getting too close.
“Could you fucking not?”
creep behavior smh
Reminded me of the moose (wolverine) from Brother Bear
Wild how it dropped its head to make sure the rink understood
"The FUCK are you looking at???!!! .... .... .... Thought so"
Rhino: Look I just wanted to smell a baby, we don't have any left!
“Can we help you?!”
This is real life.
“What the fuck are you doing..?!”
Where’s the rest of the girls to back momma up? They usually hang and are extra security
An elephant can intimidate a rhinoceros with just a glance.
“Whaat. We’re just walking here”
Rhinos have really bad eyesight I have to wonder if he didn't even realize who he was following ar first or if he was just trying to get a better look lol
They have an excellent sense of smell though. They can smell a human at least 200 metres away in a light wind.
"I am trying to see if it's mine."
Gotta protect your kids from horney strangers
More civilized interaction than many humans
“Yeah, see… that’s what I fucking thought….please back the fuck up!” 😂😂😂😂
"I HAVE A BOYFRIEND"
"Just trying to warn you about the big crocodile... geeze"
Rhino's like TEEHEE we took you for a Rhinosaurus
Do you ever wonder if all the animals in a particular ecosystem have some sort of understanding of each other's verbal communication? Obviously the visual communication works well, but are there sounds this rhino could make that the elephant would interpret as passive?
Y’know what?
That was a universal GTFO if ever I heard one
"yup yup got it, sorry, sorry about that, yup understood ma'am"
Mom elephant: really right in front of my baby elephant?
'La la la, I'm just sniffing the sand..."
3.5 tons of FAFO.
"Don't be trying to smell my baby!"
“You giving me the hairy eyeball? Back the fuck up!”
Where the other mommas?
How is it that nobody is recognizing how stunning they look in those knee high boots?
