While they can get defensive if you invade their personal space, they are some of the most placid and beautiful natured creatures.
I remember once camping of the banks of the Kariba and in the middle of the night a large male elephant decided to eat from the tree that our tents where pitched under.
We were all terrified of this massive creature ripping off huge branches. But the irony was that the elephant could not have been less worried, and didn't show an ounce of aggression.
It is for this reason and many other great memories that I remember these wonderful creatures on World Elephant Day.
