Answer 1

Answer:

The greater mass also has greater momentum or inertia, that is resistant to change. In other words running zig zag slows the elephant down by forcing it to continually change directions. This may also discourage the elephant which may force it to disengage early.

If that doesn't work you could always pretend you see a mouse and hope the elephant believes you. MythBusters tested that myth and discovered elephants are indeed afraid of mice. Not movements in the grass just the actual presence of a mouse.

I just spotted a similar question which pointed out that an elephant can outrun a human but then most animals can. You'll probably be able to beat it over the first hundred yards but after that you better zigzag
