I think it’s pretty clear that they just wanted to 'scream and shout at the people’s like the researcher in the article says. A herd of angry elephants looking to do actual damage would have easily crushed that car if they wanted to. This was just a warning, as the calf turned out to be fine.
“Wait! Just hang on I- Yes, yes, I know. I struck one of your young. Don’t worry, this’ll all be resolved momentarily; I’ll just take a minute to upgrade to something more robust…”
(I don’t know why but it feels like this needs to be said in Nigel Thornberry’s voice)
The aftermath because dumb article didn’t provide picture:
That’s not crushed! Clickbate at its finest!
“Totalled” doesn’t have the same joi de vivre
That’s not totaled either. Severely dented is the most I’ll allow.
I’ve seen people drive cars and worse condition than that.
I’ve seen cars in Minnesota that look like that and are so rusted out that they’ll give you tetanus just looking at them
Every panel dented. Yeah thats totaled. No way you can fix all those panels for the worth of the car.

That is way too small a car to be in when an elephant decides to go ham on your ride

That’s far less crushed than I was imagining.
