After a very short charge he stopped and probably decided it was futile, so left.

It is very scary having these massive creatures walk by you and when one suddenly charges your hear races. But it was worth it to see them up close.

I was just glad it was a young bull so he gave up quite fast.

Wow! None of the elephants we saw tried to charge our vehicle! Often elephants passed right in front of us, quite placidly. Do you know what provoked him?

He was a young bull and we think he was only play charging, or practicing as he gave up right after I took the photo and joined the rest of the herd.

Scary as elephants are quite strong.

They are, and if it was an adult bull I would have freaked out a bit. Luckily he was very young and I think he was more scared than anything else. He turned around and joined the rest of the herd as soon as he saw that we were not moving or running away.
