A coworker of mine for some reason went on an African trip.
She said elephants are highly protective of their family members. A native African driver for the tour vehicle stupidly drove between a brother and sister elephant and stopped to make a call from his driver’s seat.
The male flapped his ears back and bellowed. The people screamed, “C’mon, get moving.” The driver looked just above mentally retarded, the coworker said, and his eyes were half closed and he smiled a big smile as if to say “not to worry.” The elephant started to approach to attack. “C’mon you stupid @#@#@, get us moving.” “Hurry.”
Finally the dimwit got the vehicle moving and the tourists were safe.
International studies give a sub-Saharan African average IQ of 66. Four data sets can be averaged to give an IQ of 68 as the best reading of the IQ in sub-Saharan Africa.

I’m guessing the truck got too close to a baby or the driver had messed with the elephant one too many times.
