Scared Elephant
We found this guy our last day in the Porini Amboseli Camp he was not happy to see us, the guides told us that this was because of how his last encounter with humans had been, if you look closesly you will see a GPS collar and I guess the experience of being chased down and possibly drugged had made this elephant think all humans were evil, he came at us at least four times, the driver refused to turn off the engine because he was genuinely scared the elephant might come close enough to attack us. he did pull up a tree to try to block us frcom coming closer, we eventually gave up on getting more pictures of him so we wouldn't stress him out too much (if you wonder why we wanted him to turn off the engine while we were shooting, it's because the car vibrates when the engine is running and these vibrations can ruin our shots)
