Elephants are very similar to humans in that they protect their families, as the following video clearly shows.
Yasoprakas Debdas recently shot a large elephant on the road near Gorumara National Park in northwest Bengal, India.
The video opens with a large female elephant chasing a man on a bicycle. But for what reason?
It turns out that the elephant is a mother looking for her family, who are waiting in the bushes along the road.
Mom wants to make sure there are no people or traffic jams that could hurt her family.
When he is sure it is safe, he moves the herd to the other side of the road.
Fortunately, the cars in the back are lagging behind (as if there are policemen blocking the road) – the way for the mother and her family to cross the area.
