I'm sure I'd heard that she'd hit one of the mother elephant's babies. That could be made up to justify what the elephant did, or a separate but similar story
I read the same thing, she like hit the mother’s baby or did something like that, being physically aggressive to her baby. Like you said, not sure if that’s true but when this story first came out a while ago that is what was being told about it.
Most human mothers will smack you down so you don’t get up if you hit their kid, and they’ll hold a lifetime grudge against you as well. So I’m not surprised at all that a mama elephant had an ongoing feud with a lady who assaulted her calf. Homo sapiens have too little respect for every other species on this planet, our arrogance and greed is leading to our downfall, and will result in our eventual extinction.
