Replace the fences with a wall and make the elephants pay for it.

Polite, or just being tall enough that destroying the fence would cost more energy then simply walking over it? Anyways +1 because elephant

Who cares? I wanna know where the heck she's *going*? Did she decide one day "I need a vacation. I think I'll walk to Cairo."?

Fun fact: Elephants remember electric fences.
luckyMexican
We will be polite too
BewareTheJabberwockie
Thats a bit of evolution at work. Farmers kill them for breaking fences, she's learned to step over so they dont come after her.

The fence? It's electric. Boogie woogie, woogie.
NotoriousBadassWhoLovesMusicals
Okay lets kill them and use their horns for potency mixtures
nooganfreisen
What time is it when an elephant sits on your fence?
NotSameDoggeAnymore
Time to get a new fence! This was my favorite joke when I was kid lol (admittedly I still chuckle when I hear it)

What is an elephant's sexual appendage?

Look at that, a train wreck.

The wire is attached to the posts directly. The wire is grounded meaning it can't be electric.
MelvinSderberg
I'm too dumb to know if it's true, but you sure do sound smart
TheZulthar
Or barbed, which seems more likely
dogsarecooltoo
it's a electric! Boogie woogie, woogie!
The electric slide! ... god we're old.
hovelhopper
Is it that she's polite, or did she learn previously that barbed wire hurts?
circlebreaker
Naw, they have really thick skin. I think they're in the same territory as Rhinos & Hippos. Extra-extra-extra thick hides.
Iloverocks3000
She knew she'd get hunted and shot if she did
KiltedinSeattle
Yes.
AmbiguousYes
Nice
aMimeHavingAStroke
Guess that's why no male elephants take that route
scootermcgruter
I mean humans would avoid just smashing into a fence like this for both reasons...why can't they?
chuchundra
I don't see barbed wire on any of the fences she's stepping over in the photos.
mrkite89
I prefer to believe she's just being polite. Don't judge me, I just need this right now!
PajamaStripes
Lol like barbed wire can get through elephant skin.
HeinrichHiTheSSGuy
Elephant skin is very thick on some parts like the trunk, but very thin and sensitive for example on their belly
Frederf
Oh yeah you're so smart what's a trumpyderm then?
illidank
Yes, the steel can get through 4cm of skin. Ear skin is only 2cm. Their thickest skin is about 2in thick. With 10k mass, it can do a lot
gdp1
How do you know this?
DeadSucc
*whispers* Is he an elephant too???
JPre35
I wanna say its the hurting..but there have been studies elephants are self aware..meaning idk if thats exactly the case
GadenKerensky
Ever seen how they react to mice? Mythbusters did a test... they sprung a mouse in surprise in front of an Elephant, and they recoiled.
RiddlingVenus0
Yeah but they decided they couldn't be 100% sure if it was scared of the actual mouse or the fact that it appeared suddenly.
They think it was less scared of the mouse and more unwilling to squish it underfoot. They think the elephants would find it unpleasant.
Ultemus
They have an extremely advanced nervous system allowing them to feel empathy

LepusSeptentrionalis
Empathy? Then they're more advanced than humans.
