Elephant bull shows incredible strength when he pushes over large tree

The African elephant is the largest and most powerful land mammal roaming our planet. The video shows a real-life example of just how powerful they really are when an elephant bull, almost effortlessly, pushes over a large marula tree in the African wild.
Finding elephants on safari in an open vehicle can be an intimidating experience, as we all know what elephants are capable off, being the heaviest and the strongest land mammal on earth. Reports of elephants rolling tourist vehicles in various safari parks around Africa is not unusual, while these giants have the ability to move or remove anything in their way. Many times, something does not have to be in their way, it is just because they can. Seeing this incredible display of power and strength in front of you during a safari is a next level experience. Pushing over massive trees is another speciality and ability of big elephant bulls. The video shows a big bull elephant in the Kruger National Park, busy pushing over a large tree called a marula tree. Marula trees are one of the most popular trees for elephants and giraffes to feed on. These trees hold beautiful fruits during summer and the tree itself is always storing a lot of water in its branches, down the tree trunk and into the roots, all swollen with water right through the year. Elephants know all of this and if you are big enough, pushing over and uprooting a marula tree during the dry season will supply you with a juicy meal for a good period of time. The bull elephant made it look so easy and with a few pushes, with the tree swaying back and forth, the tree fell over with a huge crashing noise. Gone is a fifty plus year old tree in under a minute. It’s sad in a way to think about it like that but on the other hand elephants play a vital role in transforming the African landscape at the same time. After the elephant would spend a day or two feeding on the tree, he would leave. There where the tree has fallen, a whole new environment and hiding places for smaller animals are created.
