Elephants - aggression or just playing?

  • puddock by puddock

    There's a bit of tussling going on here between two elephants - what do you guys think - aggression or just a friendly tussle?

    I assume a friendly tussle. I've seen young elephant boys doing this on a safari - little "fights" to prove their strenghts like boys do it all over the world. 😃

    But maybe @NuriaM disagrees?

    @Boleyn is right, I couldn´t have formulated it better 😃

    It´s a "play-fighting" situation, like two teenagers would do.
