This is the astonishing moment three elephants wandered around the corridors of an Indian hospital.

Footage which went viral on September 3 shows the animals inside Binnaguri army camp hospital in West Bengal.

In the video, one of the elephants comes through a door backwards, squeezing their big body into the corridor.

It stood in the corridor for a little while without moving, while amazed staff took pictures.

Watching from a distance, one of the employees shouted 'woah, woah!' as the elephant squeezed into a doorway.

He continued to shout 'woah!' as another two elephants appeared and followed the first into a doorway.

Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda shared photographs of the unusual intruders on Twitter, writing: 'Elephants in the room... From Jalpaiguri Cantonment.'

According to Indian Express, the staff were left intrigued by the visit from the elephants.

And Susanta's Twitter post attracted a swathe of amused commenters.

One person wrote: 'Oh my goodness' while another said 'woah imagine someone coming out of a room.'

And a third person joked: 'Inspection by the special tusk force'.

Just the Barbars coming to visit a sick family member.

“Excuse me. Could you please tell us what room Joseph Merrick is in?”

That’s nothing. Last year an elephant broke into my car and drove off with it. Neither the car nor the elephant has been seen since.

The elephants won’t forget it, either.

Thus began the war between alien elephants and humans. They just came for a hernia check-up but were refused an examination. They never forgot.

Good one.

My first thought was old time conservative Republicans wandering endlessly looking for their genuine Republican Party.

It’s all fun and games unless you’re the janitor on poop patrol.

“I think we’re going to need a bigger bedpan!”

‘Inspection by the special tusk force’.

Fortunately, the inspection was truncated.

Smart animals!

Indian elephants are pretty smart. The baby elephants are sent for lessons in calculus and piano music soon after they are born... and computer programming.. can't forget that. ;-)

They were probably looking for a good pachydermatologist.

[Moorings]

It is India. The janitor probably thinks it is holy poop and is very excited. "This week if I die, I'm going to heaven. I handled lots of holy poop."

Possibilities:

• They were looking for Babar.
• They are considering opening up a field hospital.
• They just came to cheer up patients.
• They were looking for drugs.

Maybe one of them had elephantitis.

Did they require special N95 masks?

I once shot an elephant in my pajamas.

How he got in my pajamas, I just don’t know.

There's a well known hotel/lodge somewhere in East Africa where one can see elephants casually strolling through its open air lobby to get to some tree that has a fruit that they like. I've seen videos...it's really kool.

I think they’re working in call centers now. And they all seem to be named “Steve”.
