The African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana) can be considered as a vulnerable animal species, but it is not a threatened species by any definition. There are hundreds of thousands of elephants in the wild, and their population seems to be increasing steeply. On the other hand, the elephant population growth is threatening the survival of other critically endangered species, such as the Black rhinoceros, African wild dog, and Blue wildebeest. With the reduction in habitat (as a result of the African population explosion), the elephants are putting an ever increasing load on the remaining native vegetation, and the species which depends on this vegetation.
Two things....
1. There are 54 countries in Africa so please show some respect and name the country where this occurred. It is rude and ignorant to continually to refer to the continent in one insular prism.
2. Dude should have kept his eyes averted, clearly wildlife orientation classes are needed.
