Elephants have been making headlines recently especially with news of the world’s loneliest elephant being rescued and an adorable baby elephant playing hide-and-seek making its way around.
And now, another elephant is causing heads to turn and this one’s right here in Malaysia.

Recently, an elephant was spotted along on Jalan Mersing-Kota Tinggi in the early morning.
The incident took place around 6am and from a video shared, the elephant can be seen on the trunk road, crossing and re-crossing which put a halt to traffic as cars were cautious not to spook the massive animal.

Taken from inside a lorry or truck, the video that was shared on the Info Roadblock JPJ/Polis Facebook page showed another car in front which attempted to drive past the elephant.
The driver of the car in front almost manages to pass the animal safely but things almost took a nasty turn when the elephant chased after the car! Luckily, the car was able to speed up and the animal lost interest and gave up the chase.
When the lorry decided to take a chance to drive past the elephant, the animal gave chase once again but fortunately, it gave up and the lorry was able to get by without incident.
You can bet we gasped a few times just watching this video!
Elephants may be magnificent and cute but they are massive-sized animals that can cause a lot of damage.
If you happen to find yourself in a situation like this, be sure to take all precautions not to spook or provoke the elephant as that may be dangerous for you, your passengers and the animal too.
