If you ever encounter a wild elephant, it might be best not to do this.
There’s such a thing as being too friendly, which this Irishman in Sri Lanka discovered to his detriment when he encountered a wild elephant all the way down in Sri Lanka.
JOE reader Elaine Harney sent us this video of an Irish gentlemen stopping his tuk-tuk when he encountered a massive, roaming elephant.
Our pal – his vehicle proudly donning the green, white and gold – stops to offer his new friend some food.
The elephant stops, takes the food, then promptly topples the Irishman’s tuk-tuk in the middle of the road. The man in question, thankfully unharmed, was none too pleased afterwards having lost both his avocados and his tuk-tuk.
