This is what happens when you invade an elephant’s personal space (especially when it’s eating). I mean, how would YOU react if a stranger started stroking your hand (the trunk is like a hand for our large eared friends) while you were having lunch?

Sadly there was a recent incident where a girl was killed at a zoo by an elephant throwing a rock at her.
