I remember watching a show on the National Geographic channel where a teenage Male Elephant killed like 8 buffaloes before it had to be put down by Park rangers (it also attacked human tourists)....And of course there were those rogue teenage Male Elephants that killed dozens of Rhinos in the 90's....

Elephants are very intelligent and complex social creatures and are similar to Humans...Young Male Elephants are often filled with aggression and frustration (kind of like an 18-22 year old young Male human going to bars and trying to start fights to look "cool" in front of girls or something) they can be real dangerous in many circumstances..

^From what I've read male elephants that act so aggressively almost always come from a heard/population where older males have been killed by poachers, once expelled they grow alone up without role models to teach them/put them in check.

edit: it seems that the the elephant in that video is a female, that is even weirder.
