A mighty African elephant (Loxodonta africana africana)

I don't know why this angered male elephant rushed towards me while in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. Could it be for the criminal wildlife trade that kills tens of thousand each year for their ivory tusks?

According to The IUCN Red List of Theatened Spieces the African elephant is listed as “Vulnerable” in Africa and this is why organisations like the Big Life Foundation, biglife.org/, are so important and work so hard.
