An elephant comes to drink water near a resting lioness. When the lioness sees the elephant, it's too late to run, so she hides behind the well. All seems to go well, until the elephant notices her, gets a fright, and sprays her with water. 😂 Send in your wildlife video here, and earn money: www.latestsightings.com/partn...

Even elephants know to exert dominance by spraying a cat with water.
Lol, why are cats so afraid of water 💦😊
I don't think I've ever seen a better example of just how expressive an elephant can be with its trunk...
Looks like a juvenile as well.
Watch the video where an elephant lifts a giant croc out of the water effortlessly.
CD
They do gesticulate with their trunks a lot. And with how smart elephants are, it's possible that it's part of a proto-language. Sure wouldn't surprise me.
Precision dipping. For sure.
i always thought lions roars were intimidating but WOW the elephants roar is like a dinosaur. such powerful creatures, we're lucky to walk amongst them
Well for now, they'll probably go extinct by the time we die.
Los elefantes no rugen; ellos barritan.
Dinos had no voice mechs.
We're lucky they're peaceful too.
@@coleycole5344not always. Male elephants 🐘 are very unpredictable especially during musth
He thought the lioness was thirsty and offered her a drink. A true gentleman.
That’s what it looked like to me too! After his first drink he seemed to step back and wave like ok your turn now
its waiting by a water source to find or wait for food like a lot of predators do
Don't use genders. Americans will get offended.
He got the lioness wet😂😂😂

RIP headphone users.
When I watched the video for the first time, my editor warned me, and I'm glad he did 😂
Thank you for this, I saw your comment on the main screen and immediately turned the volume down. Good looking out 👍
Thanks man, your comment saved my ears. 😊
I learned the hard way 😩
Thanks for the heads up 👍🏾
both the lioness and the elephant looked like adolescents. This was hilarious!
kids huh,
Funny how both sizing each other out...
they were.. probs might be best friends in near future
Yeah! Lion thinking 'maybe I can grab that trunk.' elephants like ' i see you thinking there. 👀'
Yeah, going by the size and his tusks, he can't be fully-grown yet. Also, he reaches for that water like a kid reaches for a cookie jar.
I love how the lioness tested the patience of that juvenile elephant to the limit.
Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. 16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. 17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. 18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. 19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. 20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. 21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. 22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. 23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. 24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.

As someone who's fed an Elephant once at a zoo, they are truly an extraordinarily majestic animal.
I once stumbled upon the moment the elephants were given their evening bath. The handler gave the elephant a carrot for lifting its legs, so she could wash underneath, but as she was washing the foot (holding the foot with one hand and the hose in another), the elephant just stole all the carrots from her back pocket with his trunk :D
@@vihmaussivenitaja Wasn't that the point, to calm him down? 😅
You fed on elephant
Bro’s talking as if he has an official qualification in feeding elephants
Please stop starting your comment "as someone who" 😂it's really annoying and trendy
It's funny how it's all a big misunderstanding that they can never explain to each other 😂 for the elephant it's "hey, I came for some water, what are you doing here!" and for the lioness it's "hey, I'm trying to sleep, what are you doing here!"
Nah, that lioness got too greedy, and wanted to take it down...
@@edwinreveron870It was laying down before the elephant came and was scared so it tried to hide behind the rock. It was never hunting
A Leoa estava esperando uma presa sim. Ela estava estudando pra ver se tinha chance com o elefante que era uma fêmea.
"What are you doing here" that was the problem...
The elephant was like " how you gonna lay next to the water well "
This was a young one, clearly didn’t know what to do with the lion at first. But after a few drinks, it figured it out, like we all do.
Hahaha good one
😂
after a few drinks ☺️
The lion was young as well
Lol
The most surprising thing to me is that they're both out there by themselves. Where's the pride and where's the herd?
Some lion king stuff lol
The elephant said "I didn't mean to scare you buddy, come back".
Nah, It sounded to me like Stay Outta My High Quality H2O.
Thanks to the good souls that dug and built a watering well for the beautiful animals.
True
Isn't it normal ? Cuz it's everywhere in india even in the cities sometimes.......
Only thanks to white people and their generous donations and volunteer work. If it had been left up to Africans both animals would be extinct by now.
I would have shot both
I’d love to dig a well so animals can stay hydrated always.❤
If you've ever seen an elephant in person you'll know how majestic they really are. The way they look at you.
this is true this happen to me and im spiritual on top of that it was so much , i even felt it wanted to be away from the circus this was in like 2005-06 im so glad barnum and baily closed ppl stop going
im glad you said this im not alone in it
@@delusionsama spiritual?
@@delusionsama what happened to the elephant
Elephants are equal parts beautiful and terrifying.
Lion: "Freeze, don't move!" Elephant: "I'm thirsty, I'm just getting a drink."
It is interesting that the lioness despite being half a sleep was able to hear the elephant footsteps from far away. Also I like how the elephant became aggressive as soon as it felt refreshed by the water lol
The ground vibrates from the elephants weight as it's walking.
He looked satisfied with himself at the end, the fact that he managed to scare off a lion. Lions can roar loudly, but even that's nothing compere to the sound an elephant makes. They're not only big, but also intelligent. That makes them so powerful.
They should have put an audio warning because the elephant might have damaged my eardrums.
I don't think it's a fully grown elephant. Perhaps it'll start making the more familiar trumpeting sound then. This was amusing to watch,though. I think the lioness knew not to mess with an elephant.
Both animals are intelligent and powerful.
@@ritemolawbks8012 If you have your audio system set to as level where it can damage your hearing that will definitely happen sooner or later, even unplugging a cable or power spike can do it. Turn it down.
@@ericconnor8419 You're going to have to repeat it louder. I can't hear. Also, 💛💙Slava Ukraini ! 💙💛
I love how the elephant notices the lioness, freezes, and then continues walking all casual-like. "Oh, don't mind me, just here for a drink, lovely weather we're having, innit?"
Es un gentleman
according to the description the elephant didn't notice the lioness until the last minutes when it scared it away. the whole time the lioness was trying to hide from the elephant which isn't a surprise actually. lions, big cats in general, never attack elephants alone, they need to be in packs, otherwise it's a sacrifice, as a single elephant can completely crush a big cat
I think it’s a young male
😆😅🤣😂
And then proceeds to lose his shit on the poor lion lol
That scream was frigging terrifying at the end 😂
That elephant is basically still a child 😊😄 this is cute
Elephants can actually roar. Even young elephants can be terrifying.
Lioness don't roar!
@@paulisrael2869 yes
Im always blown away when I hear what an elephant sounds like. That shit is loud AF!
Even a lion is no match for a juvenile elephant. A lion is no match unless there is a pride of lions and 1 stray smaller elephant.
Elephants trumpet.
Amazing how cute and scary elephants can be, at same time.
Female lions are the most dangerous hunters but that elephant was NOT impressed.
*Lioness: **_"I'll take a few steps back until I calculate what's happening"_* *Elephant: **_"I'll take a few steps back until I calculate the distance needed to soak that Mother"_*
There's absolutely no stopping an angry 🐘. Everything and everyone gets the hell out of the way or risks getting tossed around like a beach ball. That lion stood zero chance.
I just love how they're both super awkward with this situation. Very relatable, it's like when you take a seat in a train and then notice you're sitting next to a very suspicious and possibly aggressive character.
First noticed the lioness, then got afraid because there could be more lions, then confirmed she was alone and made the go away move
The elephant's initial walk with the swag was charming 😍
@smm62 Hey, I did not notice that right away. . . that young boy was BOPPIN' . . .
1:57 was the best. That went he said, "I'm going after that b-t-h!"
I love how the Lion hid behind the well then peered over the top to see what the Elephant's intentions were. 🐘
Reminded me of the "get bad" walk Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder were making when they entered prison in Stir Crazy. - kzhead.info/sun/hpSxY7SrsaePqWw/bejne.html
He was trotting happily with his tail swinging side to side 😅. Adorable 🥰
Many thanks to the people that dug and constructed that well . I wish there were more at vital intervals all over Africa.
how do you know its africa?
Maybe there already is. You can’t assume there isn’t. People go over there or the people from there do take good care of their wildlife
Kidafi built the biggest irrigation project in the world but you heard nothing ever about it because he wanted off the dollar and wanted dinar and the gold standard and to help his people. Go look him up. Obombya and Killary and our weekend at Biden president killed him.
@@prajwalbharambe343Oh i don’t know, maybe the elephant and the lion somehow tipped them off.
Most importantly a big thanks to Mother Nature who alone makes the rain fall without her water you can build a million watering holes but without mother nature's water those holes would be useless love you and thanks mother nature you are the best better than all of the rest
The lion is so amazed with the elephant, his jaw dropped.
What a beautiful sound the elephant makes very powerful and I love how he defends himself
Aww he bopped up so cutely then saw the lion and got shy and timid putting his head down. His trunk almost considered changing direction and turning back. He was so sweet trying to coy-ly drink his water and eventually got some annoyed at the hissing cat he said F* THIS!! I'll drink here if I want and if you don't like it, BOUNCE!! Once he saw kitty run he said.. YEAH AND DONT COME BACK! Its MY WATER WELL! He's a cute elephant but he knows how to stand up for himself 😍🙂👍.
What's this, the Disney version
Man, that adolescent Elephant had some powerful noise. That was very impressive to see. The lioness wanted no part of that. 🤣
That lion is a cub
@@kartosenlitminey Still wouldn't have really matter lol
@@kartosenlitminey no way, a cub would never leave its mother alone.
@@kartosenlitminey that wasn't a cub lma
@@Cincy1 that's strange
I love how they are both looking at the other to see what they're going to do, mainly the lion, it was definitely anticipating something
The elephant was just minding his own business, having a drink of water and eventually just had enough of the staring.
lion: everything that moves is food unless it chases me elephant: everything that stares at me and doesn't move is a threat
He'd hate haunted houses
If I saw this title and thumbnail on any other channel, I'd immediately think this is a clickbait. But the fact that it isn't speaks volumes about how good this channel is.
Elephant said "DAAANG YOU MUST WANT SOME?!! YOU BEEN STARING SINCE I PULLED UP!" Lmaoo this is almost the equivalent of me watching my pittie eating, trying to make sure he doesn't choke but he picked up his bowl and did a 180😭
😆😅🤣😂
Oh how I love watching animals in the wild! This is precious!
I found it interesting that each animal was alone when they usually travel in their groups.
A lioness all on her own should feel ashamed that she has no pride.
@@stephenpain9236 lol
group was probably near.
@@stephenpain9236 lol, excellent.
@@stephenpain9236 yeah just like American women how just sleeps with men instead getting married and be honorable woman but no they rather to be whore what a shameless women
Just imagine you have to sneak past a lion to drink a glass of water.
Lol😂!!
No need to sneak if you’re an elephant.
Also imagine you can only drink water via your nose that's also a giant hose.
You mean "strot by making the earth shake, drink calmly, and then chasing the lion away"
"I just offered you some water! COME BACK!"
I'm not sure if he didn't notice the lion at first but this absolutely made my day
it seemed like he took up a suspicious scent first with his trunk, thought nobody was still near, approached the well, took a sip and then noticed to his surprise there was indeed a lioness lurking around the well. knowing a lone lioness is not a threat to him anymore he assessed the situation, took some more sips and when that cat didn't move away on her own volition decided to help take her leave as he prefers a bit more privacy from carnivores when drinking and planning to take a mud bath in the pond later.
The real king of the jungle.
Savana não selva
Nah, tigers are
@@urmom-eh7zy Elephants are bro. I do love tigers though, but thats not saying anything
The King is still the Male Lion. He is called the King because he RULES his Pride in a Sovereign way (Males eat first, protect pride in battle etc). People just like to say " Tiger " because Tigers actually do live in Jungles, or Elephants because they are the biggest thing on land but in terms of SOVEREIGNTY it belongs to the Lion hence why you see it on so many Heraldic shields on flags of countries. Not Elephants or Tigers.
@@yaahlabanyamyan144 Well I only heard here that the lion rules only his own family in this so called Sovereign way, not the entire animal kingdom as the metaphor says.
Funny how the Elephant peaks its trunk just over the edge to drink up after discovering the lion on the other side. Great video of majestic animals.
"after discovering the lion on the other side." charged at the lion... no drinking... Lion felt and hear the elephant and was hiding...
1:54 LOL, that elephant was laughing at her.
hhhhhh
. Mattox , .I noticed the same thing😅
I loved how the Elephant backed up with it's ears out.. very impressive

@@slockywush04 This is a fixed live cam at Naledi, with a Zoomie in charge of the camera at a computer, and not a person filming it live and in person. That’s why it’s so steady, lol. Most people are not professional videographers. 🙂

You can't help but love that little trot and sudden stop....like oh oh I better play it cool. I love and respect them both.
He got tired of him staring at him while he was drinking 😂
I imagine the elephant was whistlin’ while strolling down to the well 🤣
Just by reading the title and seeing the thumbnail i would've never clicked on this video because it looks like clickbait, but because of the channel that posted it, i clicked on it. This channel never clickbait.
I agree. This was the most clickbaity I've seen from them yet though. I think the lion was barely sprayed.
We try making titles and thumbnails as clicky as possible, but ALWAYS sticking to the truth! I'm glad you like it! :)
I love how they act like they don’t see each other…then the elephant just punks him for the entire well.
The noise an elephant makes! Imagine hearing that at night near your tent.
Never underestimate the charge of an elephant, even if he's young.🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
Freaked that lioness right out. I bet she's still running after the water then the roar of the elephant. You could just see the elephant sizing up the situation and planning just what to do. Incredible.
He seemed to be looking around to see if there were any other lions in the area, before deciding it was safe to proceed
Cute Jumbo not only sprayed water at Simba but also some trumpet scolding lol 😆 😄 I love elephants ❤
Then ran after it.
I could tell that both of them were uncomfortable for both of them, but the elephants agression at the end surprised me.
Lion: It’s too hot here nowadays, don’t you think? Elephant: Yeah but let me help you
I feel sorry for the lion. Seemed more scared/unsure than the elephant. But I'm glad they figured out their issues without fighting, and both got away without injuries.
What fight that elephant only had to fall on the cat game over.
@@hamhockbeans he'd stomp him like a human would om a cockroach
Lion cant do any harm to that elephant
Yeh there would only be one winner if they were both to fight
What would YOU do if there was an animal 6 times your size with tusks coming at you??
I'm glad that I got to see this male ellie walking up and picking up the scent of a lion and being very aware of how close it is. Then, giving the lioness a good spray.
That lion never would've tried to attack, they're not suicidal. They don't attack elephants without a pride, it's suicide otherwise. They only target calfs / wounded / sick elephants.
@@tiberiusstormwind855 That cat know that elephant could kill it by just falling on it.
This elephant is a baby. He's less than half fully grown.
@@Metal0sopher Already too large for a single lioness to take down
The elephant can just sit on the lioness to turn her into ground meat
The elephant looked young but the sound coming out of it was crazy loud and serious busyness level. 😁
Years ago while watching elephants perform for a now defunct circus, I heard how loud an elephant roar could be. It was rhe final stunt where all the elephants raise up and rest their front feet on the hips of the one in front of them. But timing is important. One elephant missed her cue and was trying to raise up before the one behind her rested on her rump thus preventing her from being able to lift herself onto the elephant in front of her. She let out such a huge roar the whole stadium got silent! And the elephant behind her quickly backed off. Her trainer realized what happened and paused the show. Then when she had calmed they continued without incident. She got the trick right the second time around and seemed to respond to the applause of the crowd. As spectacular as they were, I'm happy elephants aren't being used like that anymore. And at the same time I'm grateful to have seen them up close.
That was really cool to watch. Both creatures are beautiful, but there’s something about the elephant that makes you really like him. 😊
Elephant was like “GITCHOASSOUTTAHERE”
😂
Man, that elephant is so adorable. I just wanna be his friend
The way he gestured his trunk when he first notices the lion, I like to imagine is the elephant equivalent to an eye roll lol. "Oh brother, here we go"
The Lion didn't want any smoke or water... He was just like 'I can't get any sleep around here for the life of me'.
That was a ''she'' a female lion ...
That elephant was just shocked to find that lioness so nearby. Even though he could smell it earlier.
They have great sense of smell but the eyesight is not great
But lone lions cannot take chances however hungry and strong they are .
I love how the elephant was letting the lion first learn how it drinks water but after a few dips it pretends to drink but still keeping water in its nose and then surprise spray it XD
What's more humanlike is ... He's stretching his Trunk and sucking in water like we stretch our hand across a table😂😂😂😂😂
Elephants are so beautiful... I can imagine how cool it would be to have a trunk like the elephant and just have fun with it, spraying water at your friends 😂

1:52 the elephant: 'yeah, that's right! You'd better run away, if you don't wanna get your ass kicked'
Well, this one really escalated quickly.
I like the way the Elephant look's like it is sneaking sip's of water, and as soon as he splashed the lion, and it backed off, that was the momment the Elephant thaught to scare it off more :)
When the paws and the trunk meet, it's a tale of thirst, courage, and a roar that echoed through the savanna!
I am in awe of elephants. Truely amazing creatures. Intelligent, loyal, sensitive and a trunk!. Sounds like my perfect man
@poppy_custard You made me laugh.
He doesn’t exist.
We have a local rescue for elephants. They have done an amazing job giving them hundreds of acres to roam. What’s amazing is the memory of the elephants. It’s true. They remember certain guests who return regularly. The hours are limited as they don’t like them disrupted too often but it’s a great experience. Most incredible animals.
Most animals recognize humans they see regularly.
"Be careful of lions at the well, honey..." "And so I took that personally.."

Elephant was like : Why are you running? 😂
This is a young African Elephant maybe in his early teens. They have very bad eye sight but have great hearing and their sense of smell is truly remarkable. His trunk and his tusks with his bodyweight (+-13000 ponds) when fully matured, will be a formidable force that even a a pride of lions will rather avoid.
The elephant sounds like godzilla with that trunk.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think I recall that that was how they did Godzilla's original roar; by recording an elephant.
@@jaypee9575 That's crazy they probably did and tweaked it a little to make it sound more monstrous.
One thing to notice here is how alert those big cats are . They can sense danger even while sleeping that is many metres away from them
Our Yorkie can hear our car a block away. Our car sounds different than most cars because it is a phev. The speed limit here is 20mph. That Yorkie hears everything.
An elephant probably rumbles the ground when it walks. The thundering footsteps probably woke the cat up.
This shows the unbelievable intelligence that elephants possess, not to mention they can be downright mischevious when they want to.
That Elephant said, you keep staring like you're trying to figure something out. Let me help you! 🐘
he’s all calm, like, “mmm, let me drink that water” then BOOM the flashbacks changed everything, poor guy
Bruh that elephant even had me shook a lil bit . I never knew elephants roared like that wtf
Elephant, king of the jungle! I love how quick and nimble they can be
Elephant like "come on out kitty cat I know you're behind there"
They both looked scared of each other until the elephant decided "Imma scare it off😈"
Elephant: What did you say punk? Yeah you better runaway…
that little guy is just discovering its strength, but even so, he was determined, polite, and only wanted to drink. that lioness wanted to show him who's boss, and she managed that very well :))))
