Stupidity! Youth annoys elephant herd, watch what happens next

The recent incident of cornering a tiger and its five cubs from front and back in Nagpur's Umred Pawani Karhandla Sanctuary drew flakes on social media. Following that, another incident of two women narrowly escaping after falling from a jeep in front of charging rhinoceroses in Kaziranga National Park sparked concerns. And now, another horrible incident of a youth annoying elephant herd has surfaced showcasing his act of stupidity.

In the viral video, an elephant is seen chasing the youth. However, the youth seems to be least bothered. As the jumbo slows down, he turns back and walks towards the majestic animal. Instead of chasing the youth, the jumbo turns back. However, the youth walks close to it and annoys. Meanwhile, several other people can be heard making annoying sounds. The elephant gets irritated and again turns towards the youth. 

For the second time, the elephant ceases attack and walks on its way. And the act of stupidity by the youth again repeats. While the elephant takes its steps back the youth marches forward. Meanwhile, the elephant's herd approaches from behind the bush. 

As it seems, the elephant was trying to protect its herd while the youth continued to annoy it. Towards the end of the video, the youth is seen chasing the smallest member of the herd and the eldest member protests it.

Indian Forest Service (IFS) official Praveen Kaswan shared the video with a caption reading, "Identify the animal in this video. Maybe you are young and you can outrun the elephants. But these irritated animals don’t behave peacefully if they see other human for next few days. Don’t irritate wild animals for your fun." (sic)

Notably, in the incident of cornering the tigress and its cubs, the Maharashtra Forest Department suspended four Gypsy drivers and four guides for a week and imposed a fine on them.
