A poor little ππππ¦ elephant was captured on footage as it was t.h.r.o.w.n in the air by an aggressive bull.
The calf was filmed being s.h.o.v.e.d along by the bull elephantβs trunk before the impatient male loses his temper.
He picks it up the 200-pound ππππ¦ into the air before unceremoniously dropping him to one side.
The ππππ¦ can be heard screaming in alarm as he does so.
The bull helps the ππππ¦ get up before deciding that he isnβt out of the way enough and s.h.o.v.e.s him some more.
Eventually the ππππ¦βs mother comes along and ensures her ππππ¦βs OK.
The bull goes off chasing her, leaving the poor ππππ¦ all alone amidst a heard of the huge beasts.
The poor little ππππ¦ is h.u.r.l.e.d into the air by the angry bull elephant
Even after he t.u.m.b.l.e.s to the ground the bull continues to nudge and s.h.o.v.e him
The poor little animal is left all alone wondering what happened
Amazingly, the bull continues to pick on the ππππ¦ and is later filmed s.h.o.v.i.n.g it to the side again.
The footage was captured by tourists in the Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa by nature guide Jeni Smithies and photographer Lloyd Carter.
Remarkably the bull picks up the ππππ¦ again as two female elephants look on
The footage was shot during the elephantβs mating season, which helps explain the bullβs aggression
One of them can be overheard saying theyβve never seen anything like it.
They speculate that the bizarrely aggressive move might be a way for the bull to show off his strength during mating season.
