It's a pity for the baby, but this is Nature

Categories: Africa | Animals

It was in the Addo National Park in South Africa. A self-confident baby elephant beyond his years decided to challenge an adult male buffalo to a duel. While the rest of the elephants did not pay much attention to the buffalo that came to the reservoir, the young elephant clearly did not like his presence. He began to attack the buffalo, hoping that his small body would somehow scare away this bully. Naturally, this surge of courage did not impress the buffalo: he waited until the baby elephant came closer, and attacked him. As a result, the baby elephant flew into the air, flew several meters no worse than Dumbo and flopped to the ground. Don't worry, ladies and gentlemen, the baby elephant survived and did not even suffer serious injuries, except for a wounded pride. By the way, the rest of the elephants did not even try to intervene or take revenge on the buffalo - it seems that they realized that this would be the best lesson for their young brother.

9. The buffalo continued to "hang out" nearby, not feeling any remorse in front of the rest of the elephants. By the way, the elephants also did not really try to take revenge or punish the buffalo - it seems that they agreed that this would be a good life lesson for the baby elephant. In this case, the role of Moska, barking at an elephant, was just the same elephant.
