Let me eat in peace! Moment when baby elephant sends a grinning tourist flying after having her photo taken while he was eating
This is the moment a baby elephant sent a grinning tourist flying after she approached him to pose for a photo while he was eating.
The woman can be seen smiling and whispering as she takes off her bicycle helmet with the elephant in the background next to a tree.
She then walks towards the animal, wearing green shorts and a swim top, while the hair is still wet, pointing to another animal further away.
The elephant is swaying back and forth, looking somewhat displeased.
While feeding on some fallen branches next to the tourist, he suddenly waves his trunk and lunges at her, causing her to fall flat on her back with a scream, before she runs away clutching her bottom.

Another user wrote: ‘Leave wild animals alone.’
Someone else added: ‘Never go close to the elephant when Tail is moving. It feels threatened.’

In April last year, a woman in India was attacked by an elephant after teasing it with a banana.
She daringly held a banana towards the animal’s mouth before pulling away just as it opened its mouth to chew.
The young woman smiled at the elephant as she dangled the fruit in front of her, but he clearly saw through the trick and waved his trunk and tusks, sending her hurtling backwards.
The animal was apparently angry because the woman was playing games with it, attacking her and causing the person filming the video to recoil in fear and drop the camera.
A video has emerged online showing a woman in an unknown Indian forest teasing an elephant with a banana through some plants before the elephant attacks her.
The young woman smiles dreamily at the animal as she dangles the fruit in front of her, but it clearly sees through the ruse, swings its trunk and tusks in a gruesome act of aggression and hurls her backwards.
Just before the attack, the woman was heard saying, “How cool is he?”
Footage of the incident was shared on social media by Susanta Nanda, an Indian Forest Service Officer who often posts intriguing wildlife content online.
He captioned the post: “You can’t fool an elephant even if it’s been tamed. They are one of the most intelligent animals in captivity.’
