Elephants can be dangerous due to their size and strength. They are known to be territorial and may act aggressively if they feel threatened or provoked. It's important to always observe elephants from a safe distance in their natural habitat.

Elephants can be very dangerous. They are extremely large animals. They are also territorial, and will attack if you get too close to them. Male elephants also go through musth, which is a form of "heat" that means they are ready to mate. During this time, they are very aggressive and will attack almost anything that moves.

What Eats elephats?

Humans are the only predator that a elephant has. ADDENDUM: Humans are not elephants' only predator. Elephants are also hunted by lions, hyenas and wild dogs. Elephant calves are far more vulnerable to attacks from these predators and are frequently taken from the mother if there are no other adult elephants to help her defend her offspring. Large groups of lions have learned how to attack and kill juvenile elephants who have wandered away from the herd and lone adult elephants, too. These carnivores have to have large enough numbers and be hungry enough, though, to risk such a dangerous undertaking.

They also complete for resources with humans that live in their environment. Many tribal Africans need to do as the elephants do, and move their people to where food can grow and water is nearby. This means they also have to deal with animals that want their food. Elephants have been known to raid farms, eating or destroying good deals of what the village had grown. They will also retaliate when the villagers chase them off. There have been reported cases of villagers killing a younger elephant that is raiding their food supply, only to have the mother elephant come back looking for their young one, and tearing down parts of the village. In one case reported case, she could smell the blood of her calf inside a hut, and came right through the wall, killing some of the people inside.
