I would like to clarify what is happening in the elephant scene, as many commenters clearly didn't understand what happened. Two of our friends were still INSIDE the red tuktuk after it had been knocked to the ground when the elephant charged at us. That is why my friend was yelling and clapping at the elephant; it was an attempt to lure the elephant away from the red tuktuk so that our friends inside could escape unharmed. He wasn't "harassing" the elephant for fun or for views, as some people have suggested in the comments. Our mistake, as mentioned repeatedly in the video, was stopping so close to the elephant for photos.

You were unlucky that there were no large vehicles nearby at that time. Maybe a bus or a truck would have chased him away.. with their hone of course. But, sometimes elephants attack busses also if they get too close. Your friend did the best he could. Glad all are safe.

I think there is a lot of anger around what has happened here and I agree with almost all of it. Can I add that it would be best to change the title of your video to "we caused the elephant to attack us" considering your group caused chaos, trauma, and hardship to everyone using the road at the time and in the future. Elephants have an excellent memory and will now attack any tourist, motorbike, and red and green tuks. And yes, if you were genuine, you would have taken the effort to find the owners of the bike and paid their dues. The elephants are wild and I don't know what made anyone of you think it would be ok to stop and go near an elephant just to take a photo. Specially when you notice no one else is doing so. I watched the whole video and know you have understood your mistake, but I think the frustrations are coming from the lack of actions taken after to remedy the damages you have caused as a result of your actions.

@Ben Brasnett You didn't HAVE to share the content. The only reason you are sharing it is because any comment posted, even negative ones, make a splash on the KZitem algorithm. I'm glad you realise what you did was utterly stupid. Because it WAS utterly incomprehensibly stupid. If a grizzly bear was wallking by the side of the road, would you stop so close trying to get pictures of it? I doubt it. The very same rule applies to wild elephants. You also don't seem to realise the repercussions of what you've done... the fact that you agitated and made this elephant angry means they take that attitude with them to any village or other person they come across in that moment. Once it left you lot alone, it'll take that annoyance to the nearest village, which puts the people in the village in danger. 10 seconds worth of a Google search would've informed you about the wild elephant population in Sri Lanka, and that would be you doing due diligence. You're not a child... you're a grown man. So this isn't just a mistake, it's purposeful avoidance of rules in another country for clickbait views. For a person who travels and has been a self-proclaimed nomad for 10years, it seems you've learned the square root of f**k-all in your travels. You and your ilk don't seem to read government association warnings on wildlife, won't take a guide who could give you a better idea of the country and the culture, think that budget travel means you can do whatever the hell you want to create "experiences" (your words), completely disregarding what those experiences means for the people of the vicinity in the country. You just behave like a bunch of c*nts, the poorest representatives of your country of origin, dripping with entitled white privilege. Your kind might as well stay at home.

Recommended method to run with a elephant is ZIG ZAG method. But I think it is a concept of a fool. Elephants are very dangerous and Intelligent. If he really needs to attack you, he will enter the bush and will appear from your back side while you are expecting the elephant from road. We already heard this type of stories.

All is well that ends well. So fortunate he didn’t trample the Tuk Tuk with people inside like he did the bike. (Not so) fun fact, around 150 people died in 2022 alone in Sri Lanka from elephant attacks. Glad you shared the video. You certainly got a wild story to tell your grandkids.

I think they never read an article of the loss of habitat for the wilde animals and the bad treatment elephants who are trained to work get, like in Thailand. Pakistan has 2 elephants that died from Sri Lanka, and now SL is going to gift Pakistan again two elephants. Another old Thai elephant got repatriated from Sri Lanka. And then you have fools like these here looking for a scope at the cost of it.

Sorry it's not a natural elephant attack. There are road signs which warn not to stop and feed elephants (in other words, don't stop driving too). Also these are wild elephants they don't understand human signals and if they feel threatened they will attack and they can run fast (however they a gentle giants too and harmless if we respect them). However in my whole life in Sri lanka I know many people who drive past these roads at night too and the elephants don't damage any vehicles. In this video I see the Tuktuk is parked. Its best to record video while moving and don't stop, don't touch and don't feed. Overalls a kind reminder to all...please watch and enjoy these wonderful wild animals from a distance.

It is a wild elephant . You should not have get so close to the animal to take photos . If you leave him alone it would not have attacked. If you want to take photo with elephant you should try with tamed elephant . Wild elephants are quite dangerous . Never try to reach so close to them in the wild. Never try to play tricks with them. If you leave him alone it may not attack .

The law should be strictly enforced against such activities. The relevant authorities should act immediately. Here, the human elephant's privacy and freedom are respected. Due to such behavior of the local people and a minority of foreigners, the population of people living near the forest is at risk. It is one of the major problem in Srilankan rural areas.
