KARNATAKA, INDIA - OCTOBER 18: A trip to the wilderness turns scary as one of the elephants from the herd loses its cool and attacks the safari tour bus in Karnataka, India on October 18, 2022. The video starts like any other exploration video, where a group of tourists are watching a herd of elephants in their natural habitat. The elephants seem relaxed when the driver pulls up the bus nearer to the beasts for a closer look. This doesn't go down well with one of them and it starts chasing the vehicle trying to threaten it away. The driver, being a professional quickly takes a reverse and moves away from the herd. The charging elephant follows the vehicle for some time before changing its course.
