Captivity is not good for elephants and many other animals. To learn more, please search “the captivity industry”. The elephants will thank you.

And to the people in the crowd calling her a he; there is a big sign within three feet of you that tells you all the information about the three FEMALE pachyderms the Memphis Zoo has. And the girl that said "it only has one bone thingy", really go back to your sorority moron. Its called a TUSK. Don't you people ever read.

Actually what happened is this: The trainers brought two of the three pachyderms in first, the trainers where going to give this one-Gina, a foot trim. Gina is upset because she thought she was going to be left out and she wanted to go inside. Now she is upset. The trainers are standing inside the green gates, giving her voice commands trying to get her to calm down before they allow her inside with the other three.

Thank you , very much for this video but it would be very kind to also

mention the reason for all this extra ordinary behaviour.

This sounds a type of incomplete picture.

after he gets done charging the green cage he stops when the other elephants come out. not sure if he was mad at the person in there.

There seemed to be something IN THERE, the house, behind the angry elephant and the person... An angry elephant, in general, would charge towards the direction of the camera person, too. But judging by how he focused all his anger towards the house, there's something in there, likely another elephant, like a younger one. They know each other's presence --- and could sense each other's distress, through low frequencies --- without visually seeing one another...

@HenryDavidT it might even be the person themself
