    Default Always keep a safe distance with wild animals -near miss charging

    Incident happened from Muthanga Forest,kerala.While elephants are standing nearby the main road, and like they want to cross the road.Many cars and bikes ,parked very close to elephants and suddenly this one charged to the car, a bike rider left his bike down and ran away.Thankfully nothing bad happened,otherwise people always blame animals only if any accident happens .By this time i stopped my car at a far distance .After all this drama ,i continued my journey .I clicked few shorts of this incident mainly to show and aware people those who don't know about the animals behave.

    Lot of these conflicts happen on the highways that pass through elephant corridors. People are not aware that they are dealing with wild animals and should maintain safe distance and give the animals the right of way. Only when some serious issue happens then the FD takes notice . The situation nicely depicted in the image. Thanks for sharing.

    Stupidity of people in full display. Elephants are sentient beings. Give them space. They will move on their own. No point in blocking their path. At times they have been hit by vehicles and retain that memory. So some of them charge when you move too close to them.
