Hungry elephant uses its trunk to break into van for food

It must be hungry! XD

A video taken by Willem Bakhuys Roozeboom, 45, shows an elephant using its trunk to break the door of a van for food. 

However, the car, parked at Mana Pools campsite, Zimbabwe, locked too tight for the pathetic animal to break into. 

The safari camp manager said that the elephant was probably attracted by the smell of the fruit in the car so it kept "hitting" the vehicle by its trunk.

Luckily, the animals soon found hard to get the food and gave up. 

Mr Roozeboom said, "Almost every day this particular elephant will visit the campsite gently walking around, sniffing cars, tents, chairs and our laundry on the line."

He suggested if people encounter the similar situation, they should not to do any sudden movements or chase the animals away until the animals get relaxed.

"The elephant knew I was there the whole time. He looks, but doesn't pay any attention to me while I calmly walk around staying out of his personal space. He just wants his fruits and vegetables," he added. "My girlfriend Iris Breeman, can be seen closing the back of our truck not to make it too easy for the elephant to get in and investigate what else we carried with us."
