Elephant attacks man who tried to take a selfie with it

Thiruvananthapuram: In yet another case of glamorous selfie, a man who tried to take picture with an elephant, was attacked by the animal. Sreelal, 37, tried offering a banana to a pachyderm resting after a tiring temple procession in Kilimanur, at 1 am. Taking advantage of the sleeping mahouts, the man tried taking a selfie, only to annoy the animal who first hit him with its trunk and then its tusk on his thigh. Locals and members of the temple management rushed to the man's rescue on hearing his cries, taking him to the Medical College hospital. This isn't the first case of an elephant attacking a human. Newspapers and television media routinely report similar incidents.
