Elephant Slams Tourists While They Brunch In Zimbabwe Wilderness

A viral video shows a group of tourists on a Zimbabwe safari who were approached by a bull elephant as they were eating breakfast. What happened next must have been frightening.

The elephant was eating pods dropping from a tree nearby and appears to be startled by the group when he notices them sitting nearby.

The elephant swings his trunk at two of the men in the group, throwing them from their chairs, before the group runs away. No one was seriously injured.

The video, posted on YouTube Friday, was captured at Mana Pools National Park, home to the Zambezi River, elephants, lions and breath-taking wilderness.
