First of all, we have to clarify a theme, and that is "territory war". This may sound a bit like the plot of a martial arts novel, but in fact, in the animal world, territorial battles are also a common thing. Just like us humans compete for territory, houses, and cars, animals also have their own "rules".
It is said that on April 27, a tourist witnessed a fight between several African elephants in the Shanghai Wild Animal Park. According to the video circulating on the Internet, we can see that one of the elephants is like an "unlucky egg", constantly being pushed by his companions, and even kneeling on the edge of the field. I was distressed when I saw it, and wondered if this elephant had to practice an "iron cloth shirt" to be able to carry it! However, this "unlucky guy" was not a vegetarian, so he quickly got up and resisted, putting on a posture of "I'm not easy to mess with."
At this time, I was thinking, what is the deep hatred between these elephants? Why did they suddenly start fighting? Could it be because of who stole whose bananas, or who took a good position from whom? Haha, just kidding, in fact, according to experts, as African elephants get older, male elephants do have this kind of aggression in order to compete for territorial rights. This is also a natural phenomenon in the animal kingdom, and we humans may be surprised to see it, but for them, it is commonplace.
What is the outcome of this "battle for territory"? Don't worry, I will reveal the answer to you. Shanghai Wild Animal Park said that after a "battle", the elephants were all taken back to the inner house. They have been carefully examined by the staff, and the herd is in good physical condition and there are no major problems. It seems that although the elephants fought once, they were quite "leathery" and did not suffer any major injuries.
Speaking of which, I've got to tell a little story. Did you know? Actually, in ancient times, we also had stories about elephants in China. Legend has it that in an ancient dynasty, the elephant was regarded as a mascot and was often used to symbolize the prosperity and prosperity of the country. At that time, elephants were not just ornamental animals as they are now, they were important "national symbols". Of course, the elephants at that time did not fight for territory as they do now, they lived a comfortable life under the care of people.
However, times have changed, and animals nowadays are more following the laws of nature and living their own lives. Just like this "territorial battle" of Shanghai Wild Animal Park, although it seems a little fierce, it is actually an indispensable part of their lives. We, human beings, should respect their habits and not interfere with them too much.
Okay, with all that said, let's wrap up today's topic. That is, the African elephants in the Shanghai Wild Animal Park staged a fierce "competition" in order to compete for territory.

Although the scene was a bit thrilling, fortunately they were in good health and did not suffer any major injuries. This also allows us to see the true face of the animal world and feel the charm of nature.
So, when we go to the zoo to see the animals in the future, we have to observe their living habits and understand their world. At the same time, we should respect their way of life and do not interfere with them at will. After all, this world belongs to everyone, and every living thing has its meaning and value.
