Obviously giraffe is not the only one able to reach upper branches when needed.

About #391: this elephant knocks this tree over almost without touching it... Very calmly, simply

That was something, I am not sure about roots of that tree, but there seemed to be some longer ones. That was something only an elephant can do, no doubt about it, if we rule out tools and machines.

Here another elephant doing some "forest management".

Here in the first 02:15 of this video from Givskud zoo in Denmark, this cape buffalo is the boss of the savannah exhibit there. When I was there they stod and waited patiently until he had finished eating.
Funny to see how much stronger the rhinos are, but the buffalo comes back and are so aggressive that they manage to be the dominant species.

Then in some occasions one buffalo seems to attack also that one, which is in trouble with rhino. Nice chaos there :)

A rhino is much bigger and stronger, but the buffalos are more aggressive.
I have seen in Masai Mara a bull buffalo chase away a black rhino, but I guess they both can chase and dominate eachother.

Yes, if tigers and lions would all the time make attacks without surprise element, they would have been a long time ago both extinct species. Luckily they have some brain activity and avoiding suicidal attacks, at least when not desperate for hunger. When about 1-2 tons mass is charging with full speed it is no place to stand and wait what happens when it hits.....

Here is the footage showing possibly two young gaurs and a rhino in manas national Park.

I was here a few years ago and yes, I was told the same.
The Gaurs there are the most aggressive animal in the Wild Animal Park, this includes Cape Buffalo which are in the Africa side, that being said, when I was there they had to remove the large male Asian Rhino because he became to aggressive and dangerous to all the other animals there, this included the Gaur which he would routinely bully as well.
