Usually the matriarch (lead female) will charge any enemies that threaten young or baby elephants in the same herd. Most of the the time the charges are just warnings and don't actually come in contact with the predator, but if the predator persists, than the female will really charge and injure or kill the animal; this is especially common when elephants are laying there eggs and they become very protective.
