Great info buddy. And damn, those are alot more rhinos killed by elephants than i ever thought, by that chart, i can see most are males although it is very hard to distinguish those colors of adults and subadults (The colors are basically identical)

A lot of information are too brief. For example sexually mature animals which are not fully grown are included in the category of ‘adult’. I guess it is similar to including an 18 year old as an adult?

The hunter becomes the hunted: Leopard is forced to hide up a tree after angry elephant chases it away from its herd
A leopard in South Africa was forced to seek sanctuary at the top of a tree after being targeted by an elephant
Photographer Kevin Dooley, 60, captured the elephant reaching for the leopard at Madikwe Game Reserve
The elephant tried to reach into the tree branches and scare off the big cat who remained high off the ground
A predator was left hiding at the top of a tree in South Africa in a desperate bid to avoid becoming prey itself after an elephant chased it away from its herd.
Photographer Kevin Dooley, 60, captured the moment a leopard was forced to jump into a tree to try and stay out of range of the determined elephant.
Dooley, from Albuquerque, New Mexico, took the striking pictures at the Madikwe Game Reserve as the bull elephant headed towards the big cat.
The images showed the elephant trying to reach up into the tree's branches with its trunk as the leopard sought safety.
'Finding leopards in the wild can be quite difficult, however to witness an interaction between an elephant and a leopard is certainly a once in a lifetime experience. I could not believe what I was witnessing.'
In the wild, elephants have been known to target large predators such as lions or leopards, acting aggressively in order to defend other younger members of its herd.
Though not always chasing the animals into trees, elephants will often make trumpeting noises to scare off the predators.
As herds wander through the savannah, they will communicate with one another through low rumbles - including alerting members of the group to potential dangers.
Individual predatory animals, such as leopards and lions, stand little chance against even the smallest of adult elephants due to the protective group mentality of the herds - with other elephants charging or displaying aggressive body language to deter would-be attackers.
