Standing down a charging elephant

Back to this topic

Standing down a charging elephant · Proposed air date:

Dr. Dave has seen the video and retells how his friend and expedition partner approached a bull elephant, could neither outrun it nor escape up a tree and finally stopped its charge by turning, shouting and spreading his arms. The brothers' disbelief and Dr. Dave's lively narration make it a vivid human story rather than a product segment.
