Arnold Schwarzenegger shared his close encounter with an elephant on his Instagram while on a safari in South Africa.

The video starts off with the animal standing in front of Schwarzenegger's vehicle. The elephant appears to walk away for a moment but then charges. The vehicle escapes with the passengers unharmed.

I couldn't have written this safari encounter better if it was a movie. I'm absolutely in awe of these beautiful, strong animals, even though some of us had to change our pants after this. We need to stop killing them - take a photo, not a shot. Would you rather be able to experience these creatures or a hunk of ivory? I thought so.
