Elephants are large powerful creatures.
They are able to easily kill a person by stomping or smashing them with their very large heads. They also complete for resources with humans that live in their environment.
Many tribal Africans need to do as the elephants do, and move their people to where food can grow and water is nearby. This means they also have to deal with animals that want their food. Elephants have been known to raid farms, eating or destroying good deals of what the village had grown. They will also retaliate when the villagers chase them off.
There have been reported cases of villagers killing a younger elephant that is raiding their food supply, only to have the mother elephant come back looking for their young one, and tearing down parts of the village. In one case reported case, she could smell the blood of her calf inside a hut, and came right through the wall, killing some of the people inside.
