Anxious tourist and the bull elephant, an epic encounter. Mokopane, South Africa: THRILLING images of a 15,000 pound bull elephant charging a vehicle full of tourists to less than THREE FEET AWAY before the quick-thinking driver reversed away.One of the images shows the bull elephant being too close to the vehicle, the tourists looking at him anxiously.Another image from Entabeni Game Reserve, Mokopane, South Africa shows him charging towards the direction of the vehicle.When bull elephants are mature, they begin going into a periodic phase known as musth, characterised by high levels of testosterone and a spurt in energy, during which they show heightened aggression and unpredictability.These images were captured by Melissa Matthys (40) using a Canon EOS R with RF 100-500 lens?“A herd of elephants was coming down the mountaitowards the dam,” said Melissa."There was only one young bull elephant in the herd“To test his strength and to challenge everyone else, he took advantage by charging towards the game vehicles“He started with a mock charge but then started running toward the vehicle.“The ranger started the vehicle and started driving away and then the elephant gave another charge.“He was less than three feet away from the vehicle.“We all were thrilled and our adrenaline was really high.” mediadrumimages/MelissaMatthys
