Watch: Three men escape death by a whisker as wild elephants get disturbed

Indian Forest Service officer and wildlife enthusiast Susanta Nanda has shared a video that shows three men running for dear life as an angry herd of wild elephants chases them. One of them even falls down in sheer fright but fortunately manages to get up and start running again.

The trio being referred to as the “3 idiots” on social media ventured too close to the herd to shoot a video which disturbed the elephants and made them angry. The men were lucky to get away alive from a potentially disastrous situation as the elephants decided not to pursue them further.

Susanta Nanda wrote: “For having a selfie, they not only do foolish things but do them with enthusiasm…”.
