Khaberni - A motorcycle rider in Chamrajanagar, India, narrowly escaped a sudden encounter with a wild elephant while traveling on the Wayanad–Mulihol road in the Gundlupet area.
The incident occurred amidst a herd of elephants, where a passenger in a nearby car was able to record the encounter on his mobile phone, documenting the terrifying moments experienced by the rider.
The video showed the man abandoning his bike and fleeing quickly, while the enraged elephant charged towards him suddenly, causing shock among social media viewers.
It seems that the elephant was provoked by the biker's proximity, as wild elephants are usually very sensitive to any unusual movements near them, especially humans or vehicles approaching at a short distance.
The incident caused traffic to stop for several minutes, with citizens gathering to watch the scene closely.
Eyewitnesses confirmed that the herd of elephants was wandering near the road before the incident, reflecting the need to install warning signs and take precautions in areas frequently crossed by wildlife.
