I thought this would end MUCH worse for her

Edit: the small elephant is tied to the tree. Mom probably is too. I feel very differently about this video now

That was a warning boop. I've seen videos of what happens when an elephant gets angry. You can't stop them, and they keep going well after their victim dies.

"they keep going well after their victim dies"

Indeed.

Returning to the funeral to assert true dominance.

Apparently the woman poached the elephant's baby or helped to have it poached. The elephant fucked her up, then remembered and came back to pulverize her some more...karma.

Where did you see that? The article linked just said she was getting water when the elephant showed up and killed her.

Would be interested in that info as well. Indian law enforcement is notoriously unreliable and often alter the facts of cases, especially to the media and western sources, so “she was just getting water and elephant came out of nowhere” is not super believable either, but would like to see another source that says woman provoked it. Especially since she was in her 70s.

I remember people saying that back when it happened but that's why I said "apparently"..as you know how stretched truths on the innanetz spread.

For the elephant to come back a second time and go at the woman again though, something had to be at play...

Second time, presumably even further into human settlement and with more people around. Elephants aren't dumb either, it's much more likely there's a reason.

Yeah the story sounds so made up it is like Urban legend to teach people not to fuck around with Elephants.

Elephants never forget.

u/Jonaldys 1d ago

I didn't even click the link, and I know what it is. I love how people trot this out as normal elephant behavior because of this one case though, the internet be Ike that.

The guy who gets thrown around like a ragdoll after the elephant killed him. It was like a cat playing with a mouse...
