Elephant bull shows incredible power to push over huge tree
The video shows how a large elephant bull uses his incredible strength to push over a massive tree in the African wild.
The elephant is the world’s largest land mammal roaming the African wild and with that size comes incredible strength and power. Elephants are herbivores and they have a legion of ways getting to the food that they want during the different seasons of the year. Using their trunks and tusks as tools, elephants can strip down leaves, branches and bark from their favorite trees or dig up roots and bulbs with their feet. During summer months, elephants will also feed on grass, flowers, fruits, and berries. When food is scarce during the dry periods, elephants become more destructive in a way as they must become more creative in their ways of finding food. One way of finding food in the dry season is to push over bushes and trees, looking to get to the roots or the top of trees where the last remaining leaves are. The video shows how one huge elephant bull decided that one large lone standing tree was just the perfect source for one of his meals. It is incredible to watch how this elephant bull uses the bottom of his trunk and tusks to push over the huge tree slowly but surely. The elephant bull would give the tree a big shove forward before it bounces back again. The elephant would repeat the process, having the tree swaying forwards and backwards, while making progress with each push. With each push from the elephant, one can see how the whole root system of the tree becomes lose, popping out of the ground. After a few incredibly powerful shoves and pushes, the elephant bull amazingly managed to uproot the whole tree as it goes crashing down to the ground. Having the tree lying horizontal, the elephant now has easy access to all the leaves at the top of the tree and all the roots and the bottom of the tree. Consuming everything the whole tree has to offer can keep an elephant busy for a couple of days, meaning the big old elephant bull does not really have to struggle for food or walk long distances to find his food. It’s all there in front of him lying down on the ground, making for easy consumption.
