A tourist who attempted to snap a photo with an elephant was subsequently severely injured after being trampled and stripped — revealing his bare behind for all manner of beasts to bear witness. Authorities are calling it a reckless and dangerous stunt.
The shocking incident, which occurred near a temple in Karnataka, India on Sunday, was captured on video by other visitors at the wildlife reserve. The footage has since gone viral online, sparking outrage and renewed warnings about human-animal interactions.
The tourist, identified as R. Basavaraju, had reportedly trespassed into a restricted forest area when he encountered the wild elephant. Witnesses say Basavaraju attempted to take a selfie with the animal, which was eating carrots by the roadside at the time. The tourist, identified as R.

My friend’s daughter was killed by an elephant she was riding. Fell off and the elehant stepped on her. Not elephant’s fault.
Idiot tourist companies should never let tourists ride elephants. Elephants belong in the wild with their families. They are devoted parents to their young.
