Elephants.

Did you know that elephants are very soft in nature?

Yeap, those giants are actually like women.

They go everywhere together and with family. They have really strong family values.

They are very soft hearted and emotional. Our guide tells us that elephants mourn the dead. When their mates die, they would use their feet and rub them.

Elephants are also very protective and defensive. They look out for their young. So if you ever see a baby elephant, watch out for the mother!

And when you are in a situation like this -where you are crossing the road, but you have half the herd of elephants on one side and the other half on the other side, do NOT drive through. The elephants panic when you put something between them. Wait till they’ve completed crossing the road.

We got impatient and didn’t wait. When we drove through, the elephants got pissed off and two of them snorted really loudly and then came charging at us!

I was so frightened as our guide sped away, that I forgot to take pictures. It was scary to look back and see two giants chasing us with their ears flapping and their moves going boom boom boom!

Like women, when elephants are upset with you, they would look right at you, flap their ears and make lots of noise. That’s a warning that you’ve come too close and you have to move away. Usually if you stay put or back off, they would move away quietly and continue with their business.

When an elephant looks at you and KEEPS QUIET, it means he’s so angry that he’s not even talking or showing you his anger. That means you’re in trouble and he can come charging any moment. Sort of when a woman keeps quiet, it means die liao, big trouble.

Sometimes, they just turn away and show you their asses and refuse to let you see them.

Aren’t they just like women? Haha..

And then just as we were saying that.. an elephant showed up at our lodge and flashed us!! Eeeks!

Who says I’m like women? I’m 100% male power, ok!

We’ve never seen an elephant penis before. It was so funny! Hahahaha!
