When an elephant became agitated, he shot water cannons out of his trunk at a pack of wild dogs.
The occasion was captured on camera by Jackie Badenhorst near the Welverdiend waterhole in South Africa’s Kruger National Park.
The elephant, according to the 37-year-old, observed the dogs encircling it as it was moving toward a waterhole and decided to take control. The elephant moved between the dogs and raised his trunk to take a sip.
Mrs. Badenhorst, a resident of Pretoria said that when her husband and she got to the waterhole, they discovered a sizable pack of wild dogs drinking water.Soon after they arrived, a bull elephant started ambling toward them in the distance.
He became aware of the dogs as he approached the waterhole and immediately altered his demeanor and posture, elevating his head to project a larger, more menacing appearance. He gave them a little head shake to let them know who was in charge.
But when the frolicking dogs didn’t scatter, the elephant began sprinkling water at them to make them flee. She claimed that after spending some time at the drinking hole and still being bothered by the dogs, the elephant made the decision to leave for a more tranquil area of the savannah.
