a group of 12-14 hyenas chasing a herd of around eight elephants.
The elephant herd included two adult females, a few teenagers, and a baby that was a few days old. The hyenas were trying to get at the baby - which had already been injured.
The elephant is seen charging at the hyenas to ward them off its offspring.
