The only question I have is WHY?? being Peter Beard a great African author why he put himself in such situation??. If it would be an elephant bull it may have a bluff charge but never an elephant cow!. Probably Peter had to push things to the limit because of the filiming crew... to sad!
but what was the point of the approach on foot ? what was it that could not be achieved by viewing from the relative safety of a vehicle ? I am gld he recovered but the initial approach was IRRESPONSIBLE.
at 1:15 they shouldn't had turn their back at the animal, if they stand still since they can't out run the elephant anyway and they both scream the loudest they can may be that might stop the elephant but who know. just like a dog, the min that you show fear and run they will attack you. i feel so sorry for peter but his alive so thats awesome...
ah...poor guy... that mean old elephant

Peter Beard has been living in Africa for decades and since the 60's has done a lot for the Elephant habitat.
He figures the Elephant that attacked him had been shot at one time or has seen an Elephant shot - and then took it out on him.
