The saying that you can never truly tame an animal is absolutely true. This video that is making rounds around different social media platforms is a testament to it.

Others commented telling how these wild animals should not be messed with.
Me and my cousin went to feed a young pet elephant who for some reason got pissed off and hurled my cousin lightly. He was thrown a few yards away. Was rushed to the hospital with severe eye injury and scratches. Such is the power of their trunk. They are not to be messed with.🙏

Another user shared how elephants are the most dangerous animals in India.
Elephants are the most dangerous thing in the Indian jungle, when you calculate their spread/numbers/intelligence/strength. I always roam in and around jungle, and these are the ones i keep an eye for..
And always stay at least a 100 meters from them when and if i see them.— Saikat Bhowmik (@saiko4u) April 27, 2023
