Two wild Asian elephants broke into a resident's house, wandering back and forth in the yard in southwestern China.

The CCTV footage was filmed in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province on September 28.

The homeowner attempted to ward off the elephants with a flashlight and the family dog barked frenziedly at a distance, reluctant to approach.

The homeowner revealed this marked the second time this year his household had been visited by these gigantic neighbours, the first encounter taking place in June.

Fortunately, the elephants simply helped themselves to some food before leaving, causing no major damage except to the front door.

It is understood that compensation will be provided for losses incurred due to wild elephants, as disclosed by the local departments.

Asian elephants, the largest existing terrestrial animals in Asia, are listed as an Endangered Species (EN) by the IUCN.

9月28日，云南西双版纳，两头野生亚洲象在深夜出来觅食，先后闯入一户居民家，视频中大象直接破门而入，在院子中来回走动寻找吃的，庞大的身躯着实有点吓人。主人只能用手电照着大象试图驱赶他，看家狗在一旁狂吠但也不敢上前。主人表示这已经是他家今年第二次被大象光顾，6月份就来过一次，但还好大象每次都是进来吃点东西就出去了，除了大门外，其他地方未造成什么破坏。主人还透露，对于野象造成的损失，当地部门会給与一定的补偿。
据了解，亚洲象是亚洲现存体型最大的陆生动物，被IUCN列为濒危种(EN)。亚洲象有可爱的一面，也有野生动物危险的一面。近年来，云南西双版纳通过强化以自然保护区为主的野生动植物栖息地建设管理、主动防范缓解人象冲突、积极开展野生动物肇事补偿工作和收容救助等，建立起人象和谐共生的局面。
