A viral TikTok post of a game ranger yelling at his passengers during a drive has netizens puzzled. An elephant was strutting down gravel in the veld when he and the passengers parked in observation. Some people were chatting in audible whispers, but nothing alarming. Yet, this was still too loud for the ranger.

"Be quiet!" he yelled.

The elephant walked past all other cars and stopped by theirs

It's as if the elephant could sense the tension in the car as he stopped for quite some time right next to them. Yet, the game ranger continued to yell for people to be quiet, even though no one was talking. Was he nervous?

People were confused why the game ranger was yelling

It's unclear why the ranger was tensed up about the situation. But netizens felt he may have made the situation worse. Here is what they had to say:

@Carlo Wulf said:

What is the point of shouting be quiet? He is making the most noise."

@Troy'amiN mused:

"The elephants are familiar with rangers and get super curious hearing voices they've never heard before. That's why he could shout."

@ChulluNcoko joked:

"Me holding my breath because we were told to be quiet. Why is the ranger making the most noise?!"

Michelle David added:

"The driver is making more noise than anyone."

@vusi said:
