Are we just not gonna talk about the fact that a whole elephant walked up behind this guy & he had no clue it was even there until the ellie basically tapped him on the shoulder? Is the elephant super-stealthy or is the guy just that oblivious?

Yayyy! Thanks for sharing this!! This elephant is nick named short tail and is a frequent visitor around hotels adjoining yala national park in Sri Lanka. He's a friendly gentle giant!

He reminds me of Dustin Hoffman in Midnight Cowboy "Hey, I'm walkin' here!" pic.twitter.com/1fIJgQpFSE
