He goes around the other side to try and she keeps him at bay by using a Body-Nudge and by using her tail to swat him (Tail-Swatting). He leans back and gives a Grumble-Rumble.nnThis short video from Maasai Mara, Kenya, is part of The Elephant Ethogram: A Library of African Elephant Behavior. Visit https://www.elephantvoices.org/elep
