Irritated elephant chucks a tree branch at a Jeep-full of people
Elephants are majestic creatures. But while adorable, they can also be incredibly dangerous.
A Jeep-full of passengers on a game drive in South Africa experienced this firsthand when a young bull elephant attempted to throw a branch at the vehicle with his trunk, narrowly missing some of the people in the vehicle.
Game drives travel through the safari every day, and are designed to give visitors an up-close look at the wild animals that live in the region.
While getting this close to these animals is thrilling, it also can be dangerous, as this video reminds us.
