run away at the sound of a bee
Experts say that elephants can be driven away by showing bright lights, burning sticks containing chilli powder or by making a loud buzzing sound like a bee or by playing drums. Campaigns have also been launched in many states to train the people living around the forest.
neither climb the tree nor throw water
- Never stay within 100 meters of an elephant. This can make him feel threatened by you.
- Do not try to save life by climbing the tree. An elephant’s trunk weighing more than 100 kg can easily shake or uproot a small tree and make you fall.
- Elephant skin is up to 2.5 cm thick. In such a situation, instead of pacifying the anger of the elephant, by throwing a lump or pebble-stone, it can flare up.
- The trunk of an elephant can hold up to 8 liters of water. Showering water on them is not the right option at all.
- Due to consuming more food, their group does not stay at one place. They keep walking in groups of 2-3. In such a situation, if an elephant is seen in the forest, then go through it peacefully because there can be many other companions.
