Watch: Courageous baby elephant charges safari vehicle

A baby elephant in South Africa’s Kruger National Park apparently has a low tolerance of tourists in shiny safari vehicles.

The accompanying footage, shared Friday by Wildest Kruger Sightings, shows the young elephant gathering courage to charge the vehicle in a show of bravado typically reserved for larger elephants.

No contact was made during the half-hearted charge. But the charge, and the obvious concern among the larger elephants, persuaded the driver of the vehicle to pull forward.

Wildest Kruger Sightings did not provide video credit or the date of this interaction.

Kruger National Park, located in northeastern South Africa, spans nearly 5 million acres and is one of the largest game reserves on the African continent.
