A visitor to the Pilanesberg Game Reserve in South Africa last month captured a dramatic fight between two wild elephants.

Filmed by Gareth Morgan, a regular visitor to the reserve, the clip shows the two huge African elephants pushing and shoving each other on a road, close to tourist vehicles.

After a few minutes, one elephant appears to establish dominance by muscling his competitor off the road.

Came across these two adolescent elephants blocking the road and fighting in the Pilanesberg.

I have spent a fair amount of time in the Pilanesberg over the past few years and know to keep my distance from these animals, this was filmed from 50 or more metres away whilst slowly reserving the car away from the elephants.
