Have you ever been in a situation where you have to deal with a child throwing a fit? It doesn’t matter if you are a parent or not, you’ve probably been in close proximity to such a situation at some time in the past. It is a very frustrating issue for the parents and obviously, the kids aren’t having a very good time either. If you are somebody that thought throwing a fit was something that only human children do, however, you really have a lot to learn.
If you haven’t seen this video of a baby elephant throwing a fit in the middle of the road, you really are missing out on something special as well. It shows that elephants are very thoughtful animals, and they are more like humans than most people realize. This child obviously thought that he wasn’t getting enough attention from his parents so he decided to throw a fit and it is the most adorable thing that we have seen in a long time.
The video shows the baby elephant crossing the dirt road and when he gets to a patch of grass, he decides that he has had enough of it. He wants more attention from the parents so he begins tumbling in the grass. When the first adult elephant walks by and completely ignores him, he then decides to throw himself out into the road.
Watching this little elephant roll around and have his own temper tantrum is something that we don’t often get to see. Just like a human child, however, ignoring him seems to be the ticket to getting him back on his feet again. When he falls over on the road and pretends like he can’t get up, the adults walked by as if he isn’t even there.
After being ignored by the second adult elephant, he decides that enough is enough. His little temper tantrum did not have the desired effect so he decides to get back on his feet and rejoin the group.
You can watch the full temper tantrum in all its glory in this video:
