Elephants are very calm animals; however, like all wild animals, they can also become violent at any given instance. Recently, an incident involving an angry elephant has been shared online.

Elephant destroys Swift like it’s a toy

The video of this elephant thrashing a Maruti Suzuki Swift on the road has been shared on X by Torque India. It starts with an angry elephant destroying a white Swift stranded next to a bus. We can note that, using its trunk, the elephant first hits the front right end of the hatchback.

Following this, it then moves ahead and almost flips the vehicle. Despite this, it does not let go of the Swift; rather, it picks up the vehicle like it is a plastic toy and throws it towards the parked two-wheelers on the road. It then once again hits the Swift on the front right side.

After this, the angry elephant turns towards the bus, which was parked on the road. It can be noted that it was attempting to flip over the bus. However, due to the weight of the bus, it was unable to do so. The entire incident was being recorded by numerous people who were present at the spot.

Where exactly this incident took place has not been reported. However, it can be noted that this was not a wild elephant; rather, it was an elephant commonly seen with mahouts. Generally, these elephants are very calm, but it appears that this elephant became angry for some unknown reason, and due to this, it destroyed the Swift and charged towards the public.

Elephants destroy cars in jungle

This is not the first time that we have seen elephants charging and destroying a car. Just a few months ago, an incident was reported from Uttarakhand. It took place near the Bhakrakot temple on Marchula Road in Ramnagar.

What happened was that two Hyundai Grand i10s were parked on the road in the jungle. Thankfully, the two families to whom these cars belonged were having lunch at a place at a distance. In the video, it was noted that a herd of elephants was crossing the area.

As these cars were parked on their pathway, two of the male elephants in this herd started attacking these cars. They first attacked the grey Hyundai Grand i10 and then went for the white Grand i10. It was noted that they pushed the white i10 for quite a long distance before abandoning it on the side.

Elephants can be dangerous

While being near an elephant is a mesmerizing sight, it has to be kept in mind that they can become extremely dangerous in no time. They possess immense power, and as noted by the above incidents, they are capable of destroying anything that may come in their way.

So, if you are driving through elephant territory, make sure to drive away as quickly as possible without coming very near to the elephants. There have been many instances where elephants have also charged towards humans in jungle safaris. So always be careful around these majestic yet dangerous animals.
