Elephant terrifies tourists - rummaging around looking for a snack in their Jeep
A greedy elephant terrified a group of tourists on safari when it began rummaging around in their Jeep for a snack. Ilona Johansson Jänkänpää, 22, was on a safari ride in Yala National Park, Sri Lanka, with boyfriend Jacob Tillberg, 24, and some friends. The elephant ran at the vehicle and a video shows passengers lifting their legs as it rummages around while the driver warns them "it's ok, don't worry" and "don't move". The elephant eventually left after finding nobody was carrying any snacks - but the tourists were left terrified, on March 13.
