This young male African Elephant tried to show me and my guests how brave and strong he is, while we were on a Safari in Kruger National Park, South Africa. Young Elephants do this quite often, and many people will move away at the first sign of aggression from an Elephant, but because I have studied animal behaviour, and work in their environment daily, I could easily see that this young Elephant will only be warning us and won't do actual damage.

It is very entertaining to watch them. The secret is to not move your vehicle, and stand your ground. The vehicle I was using was on Open Safari Vehicle, Specially converted to Safaris.

Note how he charges and runs after the smaller private vehicle that drove past me...That is what will happen if you don't stand your ground.
