Watch: Elephant prompts man to step out of its way by kicking up dirt towards him

The man, surprisingly unaware of the elephant’s presence, turns back and runs away from the animal. The gentle giant then crosses the spot where the man was previously standing.

This 23-second clip, which appears to have been recorded on a CCTV camera, was posted on Twitter by IAS officer Awanish Sharan.

A wild elephant wanted to go his way, but found a man in the way. Just see how he removed the obstruction without harming a life. pic.twitter.com/Z5oRjA8E9B

Elephants think of Humans as we humans thinks of puppies. We are like pets to them.

ये हाथी कभी किसी स्कूल से तालीम लेकर नही आया पर समझदारी बहुत है।

इंसानों से ज्यादा समझदार जानवर 🥰 इतने में इंसानों का ego बीच में आ जाता और लड़ाई का कारण बन जाता। जैसा अभी के माहौल में चल रहा लोग फालतू में लड़े जा रहे।

OMG! How could he not hear the elephant? It’d have heavy footfalls for such a giant that it is!😀

Animals are actually better than humans. This planet would have been nicer if all humans believed to stay with one single belief and cared for each other. But there are differences everywhere. At least the animals think in the way nature wants them to think. And Humans don’t.
