During a safari tour in South Africa, a dramatic encounter unfolded as an enraged bull elephant attempted to flip a tourist bus, causing panic among the passengers. This terrifying moment, captured on film, showcases the elephant's significant strength as it lifted the vehicle off the ground, traumatizing the tourists. The incident is attributed to a confrontation between two male elephants that reportedly lasted about 30 minutes, according to the safari tour guide. Witnesses suggest the elephant's aggressive behavior may have been influenced by the musth period, a time when male elephants become highly aggressive. The footage of this alarming event has since gone viral, highlighting the unpredictable nature of wildlife and the inherent risks of safari tours in regions inhabited by such powerful animals.
