Indian Administrative Services (IAS) officer Supriya Sahu on Saturday shared a shocking video showing a group of people attempting to take selfies with a herd of elephants. In the short clip, people can be seen stopping their vehicles dangerously close to the wild elephants as they were trying to cross the road.
The video opened to show two men taking selfies with the herd of elephants. However, moments later they were seen scuttling away as the wild tuskers suddenly picked up the pace, appearing to almost charge towards them before continuing on their way to other side of the road.
Watch the video below:
"Selfie craze with wildlife can be deadly. These people were simply lucky that these gentle giants chose to pardon their behaviour. Otherwise, it does not take much for mighty elephants to teach people a lesson," the IAS officer captioned the post.
