Perhilitan Personnel ‘Scold’ Elephants in Perak, Herd Calmly Returns to the Forest
Elephants Stop Traffic Along Perak’s East-West Highway
A heartwarming yet amusing video recently went viral, showing what appeared to be personnel from Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) calmly interacting with a herd of elephants along the East-West Highway (JRTB) in Gerik, Perak.
The video, shared by TikTok user @hamdisayuti79, quickly gained traction online as Malaysians were entertained by how the situation unfolded.
Calm Words Instead of Force
In the clip, the individuals were driving along JRTB when they encountered four adult elephants and a calf lingering by the roadside.
One of the men could be heard casually talking to the elephants, even counting them one by one, before politely asking them to head back into the forest.
Instead of retreating immediately, the elephants curiously moved closer to the vehicle, prompting the men to knock on the car and firmly but calmly “scold” them, while pointing towards the forest.
Surprisingly, the elephants appeared to respond to the gesture and direction, slowly turning around and making their way back into the trees.
“Thank You” After the Elephants Leave
Once the elephants safely returned to the forest, the men were heard thanking them in a lighthearted manner, adding to the charm of the encounter.
The interaction highlighted a non-confrontational approach in managing wildlife encounters, especially in areas where human development overlaps with animal habitats.
Netizens Amused and Impressed
In the comments section, many Malaysians expressed amusement at how the elephants seemed to understand human gestures and tone.
Some praised the calm handling of the situation, noting that force or panic could have led to dangerous outcomes for both humans and animals.
Others jokingly wondered what “special skills” the Perhilitan personnel possessed to communicate so effectively with the elephants.
