Comparing 1 against 1, wild elephants have never been afraid of lions.

Among the large-bodied animals in Africa, elephants are perhaps the most unpredictable.

That’s because it’s rare for any animal to be both large and intelligent; Sometimes gentle and virtuous, ready to extend a helping hand and protect vulnerable animals from the claws of dangerous hunting animals; Sometimes he is madly angry, able to defeat any animal in sight.

Not given the title “lord of all creatures” like lions, but it can be said that in the wild natural world, elephants are the animals that are most admired and respected by all creatures.

Therefore, in their operating environment, elephants have almost no enemies. With their inherent position and strength, only those who are reckless and unrestrained will attack African elephants.

The reason is because elephants, in addition to their large bodies, are also ranked among the five most dangerous wild beasts in Africa (Big Five). Since the 19th century, the “Big Five” including: leopard, lion, African buffalo, rhinoceros and elephant have symbolized the most dangerous and difficult to hunt animals in nature. course.

At that stage, if the participants in the hunting game who obtained the trophy were among the “Big Five”, then that person would win and be gloriously awarded the trophy.

Among them, the African elephant is the largest species in the group with a weight that can reach more than 7 tons. With their tall physique and huge weight, African elephants have almost no opponents in the vast steppe. In addition, they are also highly appreciated by scientists for their great intelligence.

Recently, a security camera placed at the Naledi Game Lodge area of ​​the Balube Animal Sanctuary accidentally recorded an interesting encounter moment between these two animals. This is technology managed by Mr. Aidan Rademeyer, an employee working here.

Normally, this camera only records the scenes of herbivores or birds every day, but somehow luckily this time it captured the moment the predator was a lion.

That day, the female lion was lying down sunbathing and enjoying the rare peace next to a stone well.

While his eyes were half-closed, the lion suddenly heard a rustling sound somewhere. The sound became increasingly louder, signaling the appearance of a stranger coming here.

At this time, the lion’s peace was shattered. Although the lion is a predator at the top of the food chain, this time the opponent is a bit too much for it. After a while of delay, the lion was finally chased away by the elephant who sprayed water at him.
