Video: "Stubborn" the Khao Yai elephant sits on the roof of a car

 

Daily News

 

A video posted on Facebook showed a wild elephant in the Khao Yai national park in central Thailand straddling the roof of a car. 

 

There were two men in the car who escaped uninjured. 

 

But their roof was dented. 

 

The elephant was named as "Phee Deu" - the stubborn elder one. 

 

Daily News reporting the incident said that tourists had been warned to stay away from wild elephants.

Hmm. For some reason I remembered my ex-wife. Go figure.

Did he fall "in love" with the car

How do you stay away from wild elephants when driving on a road, perhaps the car wasn't meant to be there.

[dabhand 1,785]

Just hope they didn't lower the side windows.

If he did, they could have drowned.

It was a sad day for the village when "Ollie the elephant" was relocated somewhere south of here.

 

I guess I am kinda on the elephants side even though "Ollie" pinched a whole bag of donuts from me..

 

I love the wild elephants..

Yeah, but I couldn't eat a whole one.

Wild? They were livid.

Yes, that perfect road is only there for ox carts. Bloody motorist.

A good reason for avoiding trunk roads.

Perhaps the elephant has poor eyesight and mistook it for a mating opportunity.   

 

It's quite the video, but I'd love to see how they ended up like that. I suppose the road was blocked by the huge beast and it just got cozy with the car before the driver realized he or she was going to be trapped there until the elephant lost that lovin' feelin' and moved on.

He just needed to rub himself , no trees nearby so a car will do.
