Mammoth attack IRL

Witnesses said that the animal suddenly picked up big stone in its trunk and took aim before shooting it, hitting the girl and knocking her unconscious.

Footage shows the child lying on the ground, bleeding from her head as a pack of people came to pick up the body and port back.

Fukkn' roasted. GG.

This dreadful ailment's heavy toll;
The spleen is what the English call it,
We call it simply, Russian soul.”

Mammoths having ranged attack turns out to be realistic?

Elephants seem more and more like us every passing day. Their acts of self sacrifice and compassion punctuated by such senseless violence and cruelty.
Laying flat.

Truth be told, elephants are very smart animals and trunks are very versatile tools. The only thing that really impedes them is that trunks are not as dexterous as fingers are.

If trunk dexterity is improve to finger. Say elephant grows literal hand with five finger at end of trunk. You think this animal is threat to human dominance?

This is the closest I could find of a dexterous elephant, sorry.

As for your question, that is up for debate. I myself do not know elephants' in intelligence in comparison to humans but recalling one incident where an elephant had hoisted several people onto its back when a flood was going to break out, I think there is a chance that we can co-exist.

I remember read story of elephant gets shot by poacher. It will go to ranger station and peek into building to get ranger attention. Then they do medicine to this elephant. But if elephant is smart enough to do difficult task, I think humans will enslaving them for labors. It is inevitable for conflict to come from this one.
