💨 Abstract

A tourist in India, R. Basavaraju, trespassed in a restricted forest near Bankapur temple to take a selfie with an elephant, but the animal charged at him after being startled by the flash. The tourist fled, tripped, and was narrowly missed by the elephant. He was later fined and urged others to avoid such dangers. Forest officials warn that such stunts endanger both humans and animals.
