Whenever people encounter wild animals in the open, there are chances of human-animal conflict. If an animal leaves its natural environment and enters residential areas, they have to deal with all sorts of situations that might trigger its behaviour changes. One such video of an elephant in Assam’s Guwahati has recently emerged on social media.
Elephants are considered gentle beings. However, this video proves that they can be pretty aggressive. Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda shared this video on the micro-blogging site with the caption, "Toys-the gentle giants play with From Assam. Refugees in their own land." The video indeed makes your jaw drop.

The 29-second clip reportedly recorded at Narengi Military station in Guwahati, Assam, begins with an elephant standing in front of a car in the open field. Moments later, the jumbo propels the Hyundai Santro hatchback in a circle with its trunk. In the background, people shouting and banging plates to scare the elephant can be heard. It appears like the vehicle was in neutral gear; because of this, the elephant could push the car around. Finally, the animal returns the vehicle to the same place from where it started moving it. Fortunately, the car was able to escape severe damage.
