I have seen this big guy thrice near the forest check post on the gundulpet side of the bathery-gundulpet road. He hates vehicles and makes it very clear to the adventure seekers. The Checkpost staff told me sometimes he brings traffic to a halt by parking in the middle of the road , throwing mud and charging smaller vehicles. I kept my distance and he allowed me a few pics .It was thrilling to watch him strut across the road.

Nice perspective. Looks good.
I have seen this guy the other day near the main road. He needs his space. The problem arises when people don't respect his space. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! this is a huge Tusker. Lovely image Roopak, great work
tfs
Nice image. The walking pose is nice. I agree the way people honk and speed that might be surely annoying him. I have seen elephants in Bandipur are getting more impatient because of the constant human interference. Thanks for sharing
Fantastic image. If he was in a mud track or on any other natural ground, it would have been great.
Perhaps he had a nice swim in the pool for his tusks are gleaming...
Impressive image.Intimidating animal.One would wish he doesn't meddle with us!!Good work.
Regards
Lovely specimen. And why wouldn't he have a bad temper. he has all the equipment to back it up!!! :)
