Watch the terrifiying moment a safari game vehicle gets stormed by an angry elephant bull.

It was a close call for wildlife guide students taking a safari tour on Sunday, after their car was charged by an aggrivated elephant.

In the now-gone-viral video, two elephants can be seen wandering toward the vehicle when a third comes charging from the left.

The male elephant was in musth and is seen using its tusks to shift the vehicle off the path.

According to the tour company, elephant bulls in musth 'experience high levels of testosterone and may display aggressive behaviour.'
 
 

EcoTraining, the company who hosted the thrilling safari at Selati Game Reserve in South Africa confirmed the incident in a statement.

"On a routine activity, the EcoTraining instructors and trainees came across a breeding herd of elephants. The vehicle stopped to observe the elephants and give them a chance to settle down."
 
"An elephant bull, who was with the breeding herd, mock charged the vehicle. The elephant bull mock charged again, when they moved forward slowly, and then made contact with the game drive vehicle and displaced it off the road."
 
"Once the vehicle had come to a standstill, the trainees were moved to the second vehicle that was parked in close proximity. Both EcoTraining instructors that accompanied the trainees have more than 25 years of experience in the field."
 
Mr. Bryan Havemann, General Manager of Selati Game Reserve, confirmed that “although the vehicle was damaged, thankfully none of the people on the vehicle were injured.”
 
The company have provided professional counseling for everyone involved.
 

A second video, filmed by an onlooker in the vehicle behind, shows passengers scrambling from the first car while someone can be heard yelling, 'Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out of the car now!'.

It then appears as though the angry elephant retreated shortly after attacking the vehicle. 

Let this be a reminder to never mess with these giants, gentle as they appear from a distance.

Not convinced? Check out the damage of the vehicle!

guests trapped in pub

A group of 61 people were locked in a pub in the UK for three days due to being snowed-in. Guests and staff were trapped during a show with an Oasis Tribute band called 'Noasis' which provided entertainment for the three days they were stranded.

Reports say 61 patrons braved the UK winter to see the Oasis cover band at Tan Hill Inn which sits 1,732 feet above sea level in Yorkshire Dales National Park. Being known as Britain's highest pub, the venue was covered last Friday 26th of November with heavy snowfall, leaving all guests and staff stuck with roads blocked and access limited.

Some guests were able to leave with the help of a mountain rescue team including a man who needed medical treatment, however around 50 people remained trapped in the pub.

Although the Tan Hill Inn does have some accommodation, the rooms were limited meaning many had to sleep on sofas and mattresses on makeshift beds in the pub's lounge whilst keeping busy with pub quizzes and games, movies and karaoke. Luckily during the winter season, the venue had stocked up on food meaning there was no risk of running out.

Three days later, guests were finally able to leave, with the cover band, 'Noasis' announcing on Facebook, "Noasis have left the building!"

They gave thanks for the guests and staff writing, "Thanks to everyone for your messages of support, thanks to everyone for the camaraderie within the venue. Thanks to Mike, Nicola the venue manager and her wonderful staff for looking after us all and thanks to Kendal mountain rescue for all of their assistance. If we've forgotten anyone then a big thank you to you too! It's been emotional!"

The pub called the ordeal a life changing experience, thanking all who were involved writing on Facebook:

"We will ALWAYS remember this group of amazing people who came together, and hopefully, in challenging circumstances, enjoyed what we all think was a life - changing experience. ❤️💯 IF YOU are one of those people in the crowd, you could honour us by saying a few words in review and tag us in. I know as owners we are incredibly proud of our staff - each and everyone. Well Done NICOLA & Team. ( currently we are in all the National Press / National TV BBC & SKY ) in the New York Times. As well as Fox News .. and GMTV - good luck with that Nicola. ) Not bad PR for you all … you can all say “ I was there “ 😉❤️👍🙏

One of the biggest YouTubers on the planet (Mr Beast) has recreated the whole Squid Game in real life.

And it cost over $3.5 million to make!

Jimmy (My Beast) is known for his massive videos that often involve truckloads of cash.

This video is no different. He's got 456 people to compete for $456,000 US Dollars.

The first challenge up was Red Light Green Light and you might be wondering how are they eliminated?

Each player has an explosive pouch under their shirts so when they lose, the pouch explodes!

Watching the players try and hold their pose was intense, but nowhere near as intense as what was to come.

One thing I noticed was a logo underneath the counter on the TV in the waiting room and then a massive logo on the money ball.

This was a really interesting piece of native advertising for a mobile phone game. I wonder how much they paid for that!

Next up was the Dalgona challenge. The one where you have to get the shape out without breaking it.

The contestants had no idea which shape they were lined up behind until the reveal.

A surprising amount of people managed to complete the umbrella.

Tug of War was third and the Marbles game was the fourth challenge.

Both sets were recreated to give the illusion this was the real squid game.

In the middle of the video, the contestants are given a Ddakji challenge (the paper flipping game).

This was to supplement the riot that took place in the series.

Interestingly, they split the challenge and the sponsor message up so it didn't feel like you were just watching an ad.

This is why Mr. Beast is so successful. He knows how to integrate a sponsor without making it boring.

And let's face it, when it costs $3.5 million to make, you need sponsors.

The Glass Bridge challenge was very intense.

Whilst there was no glass, the platforms did collapse if the players chose the wrong path.

This one came right down to the last seconds.

The final challenge?

I can't tell you. You are going to have to watch the video.

We were literally on the edge of our seats.

And as a bonus, here's some behind the scenes footage of how they achieved the MASSIVE task of recreating all the sets for Squid Game.
