Indians For Guns

When an Elephant Needed a Tummy Rub
This is the moment a bull elephant decided to scratch an itch on a parked car. The two terrified occupants of this VW Polo found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time as a giant elephant stooped down to rub itself against the vehicle's roof and bonnet.
The incredible images were taken by Armand Grobler, 21, a field guide and lodge manager, in PILANESBURG NATIONAL PARK in South Africa.
According to Grobler, there were two people inside the car at the time the massive bull elephant started playing with it…
'Yet even though it was in this condition, it displayed no signs of aggression or frustration and was in a more playful mood. Elephants frequently use logs, small trees and rocks to relieve an itch or remove parasites but with the car so close to hand, it was a chance too good to pass up

Heck - I am scared of animals I see on TV. I would have died if this happened to me.

Incredible, funny! And quite horrible for the poor folk who must have been terrified! Baap re!

Strike that place off my bucket list!! The car would have ended up smelling like Indian Railway station loo if I'd been in it!

I have to say that is certainly a magnificent elephant!

I am reminded of the movie HAtari when Baby Tembo climbed into John Wayne's bed with his wife.

I wonder if VW feels embarrassed about not doing any better against an elephant than a 1968 Opel Kadett



(anyone old enough to remember these tug of war commercials on TV?)

I must see if I can find that film!

But really, I would ditch the '58 Chevy and take the elephant. Almost every 1958 American car was horribly ugly, and the Chevy was near the top of that list.

Thanks for the film tip!

edited to add: Goodness, this movie has Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar! Now I know I must watch!

timmy this was like Disney movie for us kids ..cheers
