Connor Cash McClendon 🇧🇼 discussed elephants' habit when with calves:
"Elephants protect their young ones with everything. Deeply sorry to the tourists who experienced this. Botswana 🇧🇼 is still your no 1 tourism destination."
Rahama 🇨🇦 🇱🇷 commented on the elephant attack:
"Elephants are very gentle, they don’t attack you until you do something to them, so what did these people do to them?:
Calton blamed the wildlife guides:
"The tour guide was very careless; these animals should not be approached when they are with their young."
Britt Biller agreed
"Guides are getting far too confident, and the tourists trust all will be fine, and it's not !! She is a Mama Elephant protecting her babies. Stay very far away.
Blaine 🫅 added:
"Tour guides should take full responsibility for this. They should know better than to be this close to wild animals, but they keep on pushing the limits."

"Rumours still going around that the guy in the background is still saying..... hey hey hey till today 😂"
