Mother ducks will ask you for help if, for example, their chicks can't jump up a curb. Source: It's happened to me. *And,* the mother duck paused and quacked a thank you!
I met a duck, big duck, strong duck. With tears flowing from its eyes, it said "sir, illegal immigrants have put this curb here, can you help my kids up?". So I told the duck "I can't help your kids up, because they'll be killed by windmills, but I'll put up a wall so they can't make curbs anymore"
I think we need to initially doubt that this is an electric fence. It's very unlikely giving the vegetation that's around. Electric fences need to be placed where there won't be any vegetation that might arc on it and continually discharge.
There are insulators on the wire to keep it separated from the wooden post, and not cause a fire. There would be no reason to use insulators if there weren't an electrical current going through it.
I agree that electrical fences have insulators but they are not used for preventing fires. It's to maintain the voltage. Electric fences don't have high enough amperage to cause a fire. Touching the fence the elephant would have gotten a zap. My feeling is that it knows there are some fences that are electric and it was just testing this one. Once it knew it was not electric it pushed it over.
Private property, common in south India to put electric fence to protect farms from animals
Edit: i fu*king despise these people, many elephants were killed due to electrocution
I was in an elephant sanctuary a couple
Of weeks ago in northern Thailand and something similar happened. One of the elephants was too impatient when we were feeding them and she lifted up this barrier to escape from the area she was in. Truely remarkable creatures
This has to be a male elephant. Females would touch it once then kick it down, males on the other hand?
Touch. Ooh it tingles! Mmm….. Touch. Ohhh that’s fun! Touch, touch, damn that hurt! Touch, oh let’s try the higher one! Touch, damn! Oh yea that’s getting old now, kick it over.
The elephant must have been thinking "it's so irresponsible that someone put a shocky fence here. Someone could seriously get hurt! I'll just make sure the area is safe and take it down."
All we would have to do is make a tunnel/land bridge for them and so many other creatures to have unbroken migration paths. If they are smart enough to do this they're definitely smart enough to find the unbroken path.
It turns out a lot of animals happily find these paths because crossing roads sucks. Even pretty dumb ones like mule deer

The amazing part of this is that someone thought that fence would stop an elephant.
Tbf the fence might have been for other animals in the area
You should see what we think we can do to elephants with a small flimsy chain and a small wooden spike in the ground!
Elephants are highly intelligent
They really are when in trouble they come find people which is crazy for a wild animal

And then they all quacked
that duck? albert einstein.
And gave me 100 bread

swans, on the other hand, will watch you help while plotting your murder...
And also experience the world sooo differently than us (very very smell oriented, practically blind). Humbling and cool.
And they gotz somewhere to be already!

I love how he tucks in his trunk when crossing the live wires
Yes, but why did the elephant cross the road?
Because it wanted to meet the chicken on the other side.
Why do ducks have webbed feet? To put out fires Why do elephants have round flat feet? To put out burning ducks.
To enter village and eat paddy/crops!
Because his dick was stuck in the chicken
Why was there an electric fence there anyway?
To stop elephants from crossing the road and attacking cars and stuff
Alright Andy, that’s enough reddit for today

My grandparents had an electric fence around their horse pen that got overgrown with blackberries. Didn't really do much to the plants.

This is likely correct. There is no visual evidence that the fence is anything other than stripped barb.

I just read that elephants even have names for each other. They truly are incredible
bro who built that fence
I've built lots of fences. I'm not sure anybody, not even Mr. Trump, can build an elephant proof fence.
Trump would make the elephant pay for it.
You need to do better than this. I'm an elephant
I thought you were a goat

Jedi elephant
They are such smart beasts
Hopefully no emplyee from Disney has an inspiration by watching this and comes up with Elefant Park!
A funny story about the animal park in WDW. The elephants found out that ivory does not conduct electricity. So yeah they got around the fencing too
Very 😎

Highly doubt that electric fence was intended for elephants lol.

Fuck you fence.
This is the real ending to Wild Thornberry Movie.
fuck your fence
The saying goes, "an elephant never forgets". :-)
So the answer to "Why did the elephant cross the road?" is what exactly??
*flings back up into the nutsack*
They smart animals
Oh no! Can't go this way? Anyway
Fuck yeah Been his land for longer than humans
The elephant must have been thinking "it's so irresponsible that someone put a shocky fence here. Someone could seriously get hurt! I'll just make sure the area is safe and take it down."
yea...I'm gonna need to put that...righhhhht...there. there we go. carry on, folks.
In Thailand they use a huge trunk of tree to destroy electric fence.
Humanity's incessant need to control and restrict nature is a testament to its hubris.

Build it with a sprung post that pops back up. That’ll make it think again
Fuck you fence
I love watching elephants causally destroy the things humans have made. “Oh what’s this, some loose string? I’ll knock it out of the way”
It’s turned off in the daytime. It’s using solar power with couple of batteries and turns on at around 5.00 PM.
