"According to the Post, the elephant has since been reunited with his herd. He’s reportedly been named “Hercules” in honor of his tremendous show of courage."

If any Elephant reading this -

I love the way these guys try to guide him with their energy.

You know the elephant is saying..."keep playing, one of you'll gonna catch a tusk to the ribs in a minute".

I couldn’t stop watching! You really know how to keep your audience engaged.

So a lot of people on this thread are saying ' Why didn't you help it?!'

The elephant as a creature proves the nonsense that "might makes right". The elephant is one of the only animals capable of advanced social mechanisms like compassion and love. And yet it is a fierce creature ready to crush and fight off the malicious. The elephant represents the unity of both strength and kindness. No wonder Julius Caesar identified with it. 

This elephant never gave up.. It taught us a good lesson..

1:30 that kick though

You have to love his guts! He dragged some and drew others out to the water where it was HIS advantage and if they continued to come after him he started kicking ass!

His will to live is unbelievable, He deserves that name and has the battle scars to prove it!!! We need more Elephants please stop poaching them!!!

DUDE, where is his mom, his grandmother, his aunts? THE HERD?  A baby elephant alone like this is practically unheard of... This is WHY he was attacked. Lions would almost never go after an elephant. Poor lil guy. :(  

That kick though 1:30 LOL!
