For those of you who have seen the 2016 movie "Brothers Grimsby" & remembered the very crude elephant sex scene, & you're probably wondering, "does that happen? If so, why do they do it?" Well, At 2:25 to 3:45 where it ends, there is answer.
(or should i say: confirmed, wild, "unbelievable but true" answer)
Even female elephants play mind games with males. Not only human females. Send out s signal make men fight over her then looses interest only to test if he is persistent enough. This is why males die before females bc they drive us insane
2:27 Brothers Grimbsy refrence.
It’s greatness of efforts spent on makers I thank their mental courage in this task
2:07 typical female behavior. Send out signals then flake.
sighs Nostalgia….
Fantastic
omg the male is enormous
sanskrit speech
So ….. if it takes the females ( 2 ) years to carry, then give birth, do the males in musth repeatedly attempt to impregnate other females in estrus until they are out of musth ?
For males, life is only good if you are an alpha, while for females, life is always good!
Have two midterms tomorrow and what am I doing with my life
Currently 2:38 AM and I now know what a female elephant's reproductive system looks like…
OK
I was a very fit sperm… now I like to eat pizza
what a difference between a male and a female elephant the male is larger than the female but similar in appearance
i luv elephants
i feel they r kind
5% of the comments are WOW THIS IS GREAT
90% is weird perverts that really like elephants
The other 5%? Well… It's j st people commenting without saying anything..
Until this I didn't know that elephants fought each other at all. I always thought that they were peaceful. Are there any animals that don't fight to mate? From insects to mammals, they all seem to fight over something.
First of all…the female looked like Echo, if anyone has watched "Echo and the elephants or the Amboseli" you will know what I'm talking about second…the part where her mating call is traveling looks like a horror movie third…it's not Echo cause her tusks are curved like that but longer
It's very nice. !
I show a lot of animal videos, too.
Your video is good.
I was very moved to see your video.
nice… Thank you.

o.o why did i click this video
Your pony icon says enough ^^
Elephant booty calls.
It's 1Am
You were once a zygote which is a combination of a male and female gamete. A single sperm by itself it not enough to form an individual.
If Elephants evolved to be as smart as humans, I can imagine how ultra annoying mating would be, how big a pain in the ass the women would be. After aggressively fighting other males because you're horny as hell, the woman plays hard to get. It's stressful thinking about it.
Beautiful miracle! Elephants are magnificent animals!
Ehem!
No.
Thank you.
