Elephants have been known to kill people. There are different reasons as to why this may happen. If humans are seen to be imposing on the territory of the elephants or seen to be posing a threat to their young, they may attack. Young male elephants may do so when they are trying to prove themselves as being powerful during a mating season or when preparing to challenge a dominant male. Elephants have been known to enter villages in groups and trample through them causing damage, often believed to be looking for a missing elephant. Generally though, elephants and humans can co-exist in peace.
