It’s well known that Asian elephants are more calm in temperament. It’s the African elephants that are more prone to violence and unpredictability.

Far enough away from Yellowstone that no one ran up to get a photo with it

I have long advocated drinking gin & tonic ….the tonic for malaria and the gin to prevent elephant bites. While I have so far avoided both malaria and being bitten by an elephant, this incident shows you can’t be too careful.

I was in Bangkok about 30 years ago for a conference when the traffic was stopped for an elephant walking down the street along with dancing girls and acrobats.
It was a live, moving commercial for Chang’s Beer. The truck at the end of the commercial was giving away free cans.

Just like horses, many elephants are easily startled by a sudden loud noise they’re not used to hearing.
Thank goodness nobody was impulsive enough to shoot her.
Being kind and patient goes a long way with most animals who happen to be lost.

It’s literally true. Don’t blame me!

We don’t do that kind of stuff here in Montana, besides elephants are currently NOT in season.

Can you imagine waking up from all the noise after passing out on a bench after a night out, and seeing that walking down the road?
Instant vow to quit drinking lol
