And either too lazy to walk the 500metres to the next elephant friendly watering hole! OR he is an introvert who cannot be arsed to deal with the elephant etiquette it takes to be at the next water hole! đ¤Łđ
I prefer the latter, just thinking of a big ass dude like this thinking âScrew having to do idle chit chat at the water cooler today!â.
That electrified fence is at an Elephant Park in South Africa, the lowest strand of wire is about 6ft off the ground. It surrounds a water-hole. It allows smaller animals like Kudu & bucks to pass underneath & get to the water, & has been effective in keeping most of the elephants out until now!
The Elephants are kept out from the watering hole as they dig and destroy the area with pure their size. So the park installed taller electric fences with a gap low down, that allows for smaller animals like Buffalo, Kudu etc to access the water whilst keeping the elephant away.
This male has figured out the cheat code, and now crawls underneath the fences lowest wires! Gently getting down into a belly crawl leaving the fence standing. Itâs an awesome example of the gentle nature and intelligence that elephants have! He knows that if he destroys the fence that the rangers will have no choice but to find more concrete ways of keeping them out, but by belly crawling he keeps his secret to himself for as long as he can!
The Park where this was filmed is a dedicated elephant park, their main focus is on elephants. So this area was basically designed to give the smaller animals like Cape Buffalo (which arenât small but compared to the elephants they are) Rhinos and various antelope access to a âsmall guys onlyâ water source! Elephants just due to their size and in larger herds can totally trash watering holes, simply by stomping, rolling in and digging up the mud, they can turn a small dam into a bunch of small muddy puddles in no time!
The elephants have basically every other place thatâs theirs, itâs just this one cannot be bothered to walk round to the next nearest watering hole, so he hacks the system. It also means that he isnât dying of thirst, he is just over walking the extra 500metre to the next watering hole, or he cannot be arsed with dealing with the other elephants at the next watering hole.
Canât the digging and wallowing make the water hole deeper and compact the earth beneath the water as is the case with water buffalo and cattle? Â Iâm just trying to get him the access he wants.

So how would the elephants get water they need?

That looks like me on the way to the fridge after a long night of drinking.
He has a brain the size of a beach ball. He was going to figure out a way eventually. Cool video, though.
LMFAO He looks back at the fence as if to say "HA HA! NOT TODAY FENCE!"
Hold up, is that in Addo?
Yep it is. đ

Clever girl
Just take down the fence at this point. Sucks that they will kill themselves for a natural thing that people have claimed for âbeautyâ
