We all have been guilty of going the extra mile to get a good picture for the gram! In today’s age and time, it is essential to capture every moment. From breathtaking scenic shots to capturing the funnier side of animal life, people put in a lot of effort to get the perfect click.
But sometimes while capturing moments, we become oblivious to our surroundings. Recently, in a video shared by IFS Susanta Nanda from Odisha, we can see how humans can sometimes become a hindrance to wild animals.
Have a look at the entire video:
This elephant was gentle. It showed the lady in the most polite way where she belongs. All will not be that lucky. Maintain safe distance while interacting with Wildlife 🙏🏼 pic.twitter.com/lTg8WtpRLh

The woman, who was standing in the path of the elephant, was trying to get close up pictures of the giant mammal. As the animal moved closer to her, he gently nudged her to the side. The woman was very lucky in this case as the tusker didn’t cause her any harm.
Many people felt she was fortunate enough to escape the dangerous situation unharmed. Have a look at some of the comments:
It is really gentle approach by he giant of the jungle, and the women is seriously lucky also..

While this woman got lucky, it might not be the case every time. While we feel documenting wild animals is an exciting experience, we shouldn’t invade their private space. Safety should always be the top priority. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.
