溫馴的大象也會大欺小？一隻大象姊姊突然衝向妹妹把牠狠狠撞倒在地，象群的三頭母象馬上衝過來圍陣保護妹妹，整個互動極度像人類。

遊客今年2月在南非克魯格國家公園捕捉到珍稀的一幕，在一個象群裡，一隻大象姊姊突然爆衝上來，用頭搥將牠妹妹頂飛出去，象妹妹跌倒在地四腳朝天，摔痛了發出一陣悲鳴，象姊姊得手後默默往後退遁逃。

聽到小象的哭叫聲，草叢裡同時衝出3隻母象，很有默契地一隻站一個方位，呈三角形將小象團團圍住，其中一隻還伸出象鼻試圖扶起牠。小象很快自己站起來看似無大礙，母象群絲毫沒鬆懈，仍將小象包圍戒備了一段時間。

One for all and all for one elephants. #awesome #motherhood Some context provided by @wildlife_abbie ( insta ) This incredible video was captured on safari in Africa's greater Kruger area in February 2023. It's unclear exactly what the little bull elephant did to be knocked over, but we do know that his sister was the culprit, so I'm sure all of you with older sisters can understand this situation. The little bull cries out in pain, and you see a group of three mothers rush to his aid, directing their attention toward the group of tourists, perceiving them to be the threat. The experienced guide however knows exactly what's up and begins shouting to reassure the elephant herd, skillfully averting potential escalation. Elephant herds are extremely close-knit and have strong social bonds, so it's no surprise the mother's reactions were so swift.

園方表示目前不清楚象妹妹為何會被姊姊欺負，也許就是單純的手足爭執；母象衝過來護衛，將旁邊成群的遊客當作威脅，而影片中聽到的吆喝聲來自資深嚮導，出聲安撫象群防止衝突情勢升溫。

有網友指出，大象跟人類一樣屬於高度社群性的動物，也存在兄弟姊妹間的吵架和欺凌，英國曾拍攝一支大象家庭的紀錄片，某天一個寶寶誕生了，象群中年紀最小的那隻心生忌妒就踹牠一腳，還被家長教訓了一番。
