Though strong and huge, elephants are widely regarded as gentle giants. These adorable and fun-loving jumbos are also exceptionally intelligent animals, capable of experiencing and understanding a wide range of emotions. However, once in a while, they also show their aggressive side. In a video going viral on social media, two elephants are seen engaging in a fierce fight, leaving users stunned.
The clip shared by Indian Forest Service officer Saket Badola shows both the tuskers pushing each other and fighting with their large tusks to overpower each other. The video seems to have been recorded from a moving vehicle.
''Clash of Titans,'' the video was aptly captioned.
