African elephants were caught in a fierce brawl at Shanghai Wildlife Park on April 27.

The video shows an elephant being repeatedly pushed by its peers, eventually kneeling at the edge of the enclosure before standing up to fight back.

Zoo staff have reassured the public, explaining that such skirmishes are a normal occurrence among male African elephants, especially during their growth phase as they vie for territory. This behaviour is part of their natural instincts and is not influenced by the presence of visitors.

After the altercation, the elephants were taken back to their shelters where they were examined by zoo personnel.

Authorities have confirmed that all elephants in the group are in good health and the incident poses no cause for concern among visitors.

The video was provided by local media with permission.

4月27日，有游客在上海野生动物园内看见几只非洲象发生打斗群殴行为，其中一只大象不断遭到同伴推挤，跪倒在场地边缘，很快又起身反抗。
对此，工作人员表示，这是发生在非洲象群体内，公象成长过程中的正常现象，是为争夺领地的正常行为，与游客行为无关。大象收回内舍后，工作人员对其进行了检查，目前象群身体情况正常。
