elephant roadblock

We would love to see a roadblock like this in the wild bush!

 

Usually a roadblock means sitting in your car for too long while being completely frustrated but this kind of roadblock is what most holiday makers spend their time searching for.

A group of elephants took to the middle of a bush road and stopped all traffic from passing. The group created the road block while protecting a little one in the middle.

The Elephant is the world’s largest land mammal, and weighs up to 7 tonnes and reaches heights of 3.3 m at the shoulder. Elephants can live to a potential age of 70 years. The massive tusks of older bulls can weigh up to 50 or 60 kilograms, but tusks weighing up to 90 kilograms have been recorded.

The footage was captured before the motorists all reversed away from the majestic animals.
