In southern India, an angry elephant nearly trampled tourists who wanted to take pictures with it.
According to the portal, two tourists were driving along the highway when they saw an elephant walking along the side of the road. They stopped to take memorable photos with the giant. However, this meeting almost ended in tragedy.
As it quickly became clear, the elephant did not want to be photographed and was in a bad mood. He chased the men, and when one of them fell, he tried to trample him.
Witnesses of the incident believe that the fallen tourist was very lucky. The elephant was distracted from him by a passing car.
