Elephant rams tourists' lunch table at safari park, netizens call it ‘gentle reminder’

A startled bull elephant sent tourists for cover when it rammed two men and overturned their picnic table at a safari park. A video shared by IFS Officer Susanta Nanda shows the huge elephant approaching the group while they were enjoying their lunch. While the tourist group seemed nervous they, however, remained quiet and tried not to look at the animal. 

In the 13-second-clip, the tusker can then be seen becoming agitated and flapping its ears. The bull elephant then ploughs into one man and then another, slamming them into their table and knocking it over. The plates and cutlery can then be seen crashing to the ground. Nanda posted the video with a caption that read, “simple warning”.
