13. these arent males. They dont have tusks. Asian elephants with tusks are males. Cmon bbc u shd know better ..

14. most friendly fight ever!

15. The description wasn't typed by a native English speaker 😂

16. These guys admirably demonstrate that male dominance can be established using a benign contest of force that is no more harmful than an arm wrestle. Without the motives of pride, vengeance, greed and a desire to unecessarily harm their opponent, they are a more evolved mammal than humans.

17. Because of poaching… these males doesn't have essential self defense mechanism like what they was once, having a long tusks. Any of these fight among male elephants will be much longer process and more painful.

19. Wow Asian Elephant bulls fight gently like gentlemen sparing compared to their larger and more aggressive and violent African cousins, these two don’t have tusks. Male Asian Elephants have tusks but not all of them have tusks, Tuskless Males fight each other with their trunks like arm wrestling.

20. elephants fight with elephants

21. Mma world heavy fight championship

22. Are the elephants Canadian?

23. Fascinating about the no tusks! Why are they pressing their heads on the trees? I wish African elephants would develop natural selection to stop growing tusks, seeing that they have been decimated in numbers by gross humans 😢

24. African elephants are much more beautiful

31. When elephants fight, it's the grass that suffers.

32. How will it leave the bow?

33. They look so effeminate without tusks. So sad.

34. Fights sell, that's why animal documentaries insist on portraying that. But 99% of the time, animals are not fighting. So, instead of educating the public, these documentaries actually distort animal behavior. If you really want to know about animal behavior, read a peer-reviewed book, such as the books from professor Franz de Waal.

36. If these are the asian fight, imagine the african fighting.

37. Elephants are a very dangerous and unpredictable species of animal. They are only occassionally sweet and affectionate to humans and they are extremely moody and even territorial in territory that is not theres. The destruction to property , people and each other that they render when in musth and ruled by testosterone is in itself enough to remove them from any kind of "Good citizen" award like advocates of the species would like to depict. They lack self control that would allow them to be truly classified as an intelligent self aware species. And if this isn't true then they are knowingly acting with malice and indifference making them even more despicable. In India alone they cause 150-200 human deaths annually with most victims being totally innocent many of whom are women and children and babies stomped on in the middle of the nite by these elephants who stampede and raid villages in well planned plundering for food. And when not violently robbing the villagers of their precious food that they have preserved these elephants can be found trampling the the farmers harvest and potential food and income at market.
    Then when humans take a stand and strike back out if frustration they are condemned. Worldwide 500 human fatalities annually by elephant is a moderate estimation. By comparison if I add up human fatalities collecti Ely from lions, bears, Tigers, leopards and crocodiles the total will not touch that 500 human deaths annually.
    In India I have read of rogue elephants that killed 5,6,7. And 8 people andninveachh case there was near pathological forbearance with the killer even allowing them to continue killing rather than hunting them down instantly and euthanized them. Conversely, if a rogue Tiger, leopard or in Africa a Lion commits such an atrocity there is no hesitation. The animal is hunted and killed without mercy. The same goes for a crocodile.
    ALL THE BIG CATS ARE ALSO BEING DISRESPECTED AND PUSHED OUT OF THEIR NORMAL TERRITORY JUST AS ELEPHANTS ARE. THIS IS SO OFTEN THE RHETORICAL EXCUSE FOR BEINGNPATIENT WITH ELEPHANTS YET THE SAME LONG SUFFERING IS NOT BESTOWED UPON THE FELINES. WHY?

    What I'd wrong with our thinking that we overlook a baby or mother being stomped to death for fear that we may lack compassion for a 2 ton out of control beast that lacks even a degree of human abilities nor redtraint?

38. nahvi Ishaqlebbai alim mufti vs kaja kaleemullah ishaq fight

39. When Two elephants fight each it’s for dominance and to show who’s better

    But if two humans do that, it’s a goddamn felony up to five years
