How to stop a rampaging elephant with a wave of your hand

I guess ... just do this? (You probably shouldn’t do this.)

Someone was in a jungle and an elephant decided to charge at them. So they sent the elephant away with a simple wave of the hand. This is clearly a NEXT-LEVEL tactic. It’s probably like how you’re supposed to punch a shark in the nose.*

It’s clear that this is exactly what you should do the next time you make an elephant angry.** The elephant will clearly back off immediately.*** Thanks for showing us the way, buddy!

* You’re not actually supposed to punch a shark in the nose. You’re supposed to tear at its gills. But good luck with that.

** Please don’t do this and don’t make an elephant angry.

*** Seriously, please don’t try this. You will probably get gored to death by a pachyderm.
