Id love to see a fair fight, though.
Exactly. I don't think elephants are exactly over-populating the African continent due to poaching for ivory. I think elephants also live for a very long time and often seem to mourn their dead.

And if you're being threatened by an elephant, you are 1, probably in the wrong place at the wrong time, and 2 weren't paying attention when they tried to warn you off.
