THIS is a video about the little guy taking on the pack. Except in this case the little guy is a big guy — a juvenile African elephant — and the pack is a pride of 14 hungry lions.
The extraordinary footage shows the solitary elephant fending off the lions near a waterhole. One of the lions sinks its claws into the elephant’s rear flanks and even hitches a ride on the animal’s back.
The elephant manages to shake off some of the lions by entering the water, before turning back and attempting a charge — prompting the predators to come at him again, and an exasperated-sounding witness to mutter “Where are the other elephants? For God’s sake!”
