Man halts a charging elephant by remaining incredibly calm; Watch

Social media is full of videos and images of animals that netizens visit to often distract themselves from all the negativity that flows on the internet. Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda recently shared one such video of an elephant, where the giant according to him is communicating with the human in the clip at a 'different level'. In the video, one can see a tusker charging towards a man named Alan McSmith, an African safari guide, but suddenly stops looking at the calm nature of the human as he refuses to move. The animal is apparently influenced by the man's calm behaviour, who without making any physical contact makes the elephant do what he wants.

"Human & animals are capable of connecting at deeper levels...." Susanta captioned the post. The video has garnered more than 15,000 views and nearly 2,000 likes on Twitter since it was shared on July 18. Netizens are impressed by the video as one user commented, "Our ancient sadhus did same in wild. Animals don't dare to come near them during meditation. It's mind power and micro emotions on the face." Another user wrote, "I had seen this vdo sometime back. Is this really a behavioral fact of elephants ?!? What if the elephant is a raging one - can it still control itself sensing calmness like this ??"
