Angry Elephants Trumpeting and Rumbling

A herd of agitated African elephants trumpet, growl and rumble in a classic example of elephant communication, Tuli Block, Botswana. Elephants make a wide range of sounds, including growls, trumpets, squeals, shrieks and low frequency vocalisations. See http://www.wildlife-pictures-online.com/elephant-communication.html for more.

Why would you get that close to an angry elephant?

[Mollydollyyyy]

@lauraleesmithagain Hippos walk on land too, moron.

And people don't necessarily "jump into" lakes. Lakes/waterways are a means of travel. Hippos just happen to live there, too. And are strong enough to flip small boats and whatnot.

the closeness of the shots are freaking awesome, don't get me wrong. but you'd have to be inSANE to stick around angry elephants for that long!

Hippos do come onto dry land , but usually at night to eat grass

[Thizzilin]

They're so fucking beautiful-it's amazing

@Chris9017 Wow hippos? How can that be? I can understand elephants because they are on dry land, but why are people jumping into lakes with Hippos in it?

[Chris9017]

Yep, that's the number one cause of death, is from hippos, then comes elephants.
