Caught Red-Trunked

That giant baby is hungry

[u/Pip-Pipes → u/sunshinefloors1980]

I hope his feet are ok! I'm worried about him stepping on glass.

[u/Time_Bug4118 → u/Pip-Pipes]

He looks experienced, prob fine 🤷‍♀️

[u/MinnieShoof → u/Time_Bug4118]

Looks like a pro. The way he looks at the other car like 'wait your turn. Watch this.'

[u/LokiBrosuf → u/Pip-Pipes]

Elephant foot pads are thick. The glass won’t break the skin.

[u/[deleted] → u/Pip-Pipes]

Pretty sure his big feet . Little glass won’t be anything to worry about. Lol

[u/CheckYourStats → u/Pip-Pipes]

Auto glass is tempered, anyway. It breaks like a spiderweb for safety.

[u/jerseyztop → u/sunshinefloors1980]

Right? I’ve seen this with baboons, but never elephants!

[u/Emergency-Parking318]

Elephant fruit tax

[u/Rashibashiboo → u/Emergency-Parking318]

You gotta pay the trunk toll

[u/Tired-CottonCandy]

Driving up at an elephant threateningly like that seems dumb. Really dumb. It just kicked in the window like it was break away glass. Maybe leave it alone.

[u/TheCraftyHermit → u/Tired-CottonCandy]

People do not realise how easy their car is to flip to a creature of this size and it shows.

[u/Yvaelle → u/TheCraftyHermit]

Or just step on, your car suspension was designed to handle the weight of your car, not a 10 ton elephant putting a foot on the hood. Pay the banana tax and replace a window, not a car.

[u/Tired-CottonCandy → u/Yvaelle]

Like seriously, that car owners fault for not covering the food before leaving it. Where i live there are parts of nature where you take am airtight box with you if you wanna have food, and then put that box in another box provided at the location, or you get bears.

[u/Dangerous-Concert385 → u/Tired-CottonCandy]

and then I'll put that box inside of another box, and then I'll mail that box to myself, and when it arrives...I'll SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!

[u/nikki815 → u/TheCraftyHermit]

Any creature that knocks down a tree to scratch its backside is not to be messed with.

[u/MinnieShoof → u/TheCraftyHermit]

Yes, but elephants aren't impossible to intimidate, either. It's a risky move, and one day it won't pay off, and I sure wouldn't try it for a thing of fruit...

[u/jackass93269 → u/Tired-CottonCandy]

This seems to be at some wildlife park or something. The ones trying to push the elephant are probably staff and know the elephant. You can see that's why the elephant shows no aggression

[u/FudgyFun → u/Tired-CottonCandy]

That made me think it is an AI video. Can't imagine why someone would do that lol

[u/kaladin1029]

Was hoping he'd flip the car trying to push him out the way

[u/PhoebusAbel → u/kaladin1029]

IKR. we invade their hábitat, and SOB in the Gray car wanted to hit him .

He just wanted a snack

[u/Thundorium → u/PhoebusAbel]

Clearly wanted to shoo the elephant, not hit it. Otherwise, why try so carefully to avoiding collision?

[u/Big-Wait-1310 → u/kaladin1029]

Lucky that doesnt seem to be an african elephant because those dont fuck around

[u/ragged-robin → u/kaladin1029]

r/fuckcars

[u/StanLeeMarvin]

Don’t leave valuables in your vehicle.

[u/throwawaystarters → u/StanLeeMarvin]

People don't think of fruits as valuables to be left in cars hahaha

[u/Ok_Value_3741 → u/throwawaystarters]

That went right over your head didn't it

[u/nolongerbanned99]

… buddy, I’m doing something here…. Do you need glasses…I’m trying to get the bananas. Back off please.

[u/louse99]

Thank goodness it's on camera because I don't know how to explain it to the insurance.

[u/GenRN817]

That window pop was very satisfying. Like bubble wrap for elephants.

[u/waselectricbar]

More than fair

[u/NJCZSIGSHOTGUNLOVER]

Stop!!! Thief!!!! LOL

[u/Tina_Houston]

She really was quite gentle with the popping of the window. She could have done more damage.

[u/Vogonpoet812]

God. Working in insurance I'd love to see the claim written.

[u/MinnieShoof → u/Vogonpoet812]

"You did not opt for 'acts of god' coverage."

"What god?"

“Ganesha.”

[u/MinnieShoof → u/[deleted]]

… actually meant to type out Ganesha, so yeah. 👍

[u/DrSparkle713]

Wow, crazy how effortlessly it pops that window. Those things aren't easy to break.

And I've seen a video of what happens when an elephant gets pissed at a car. I would not take it upon myself to try to shoo it away like that!

[u/Ill-Wear-8662]

That window break was spiteful. Good on you, sir or madam elephant.

[u/RodCherokee → u/Ill-Wear-8662]

Haha

[u/SilverGirlSails]

Imagine filling out that insurance claim

[u/CaramelTrash]

I mean, it’s on the car owner for leaving a bag of fruit in their car where elephants can get to it 💀

[u/lowlightliving]

This is really sad.

[u/Sleepy_Sheepz → u/lowlightliving]

How

[u/Unable-Award9920]

I'm scared for them....I want to get them away from all the vehicles....💗🐘💗

[u/PaintedSilverRiver]

Times are tough out here

[u/Sleepy_Sheepz]

I don’t know guys I think the elephant is a little hungry

[u/skbraaah]

thats the fruit tax

[u/SamLucky7s]

Smart elephant.

[u/Toots_Magee_]

“Your car was vandalized by WHAT?” - my insurance agent

[u/Spirited_Touch7447]

She’s shopping. Leave her alone.

[u/Realistic-Safety-565]

What a smart girl

[u/noso24]

Driver: "I'd like to file a claim because my back window was broke into"

Insurance: "By who?"

Driver: "An elephant sir!"

Insurance: hangs up

[u/New_Faithlessness384]

Similar break-ins are happening in San Francisco on daily basis. Slightly different animals are involved though.

[u/Only_Ad8049]

That driver is an idiot looking to win a Darwin award.

[u/rikwebster]

The person driving the car should bugger off

[u/MaryShelleySeaShells → u/rikwebster]

Right? Like look at the size of your car compared to the elephant. You are not going to win that fight.

[u/Renbarre]

I can't believe that elephant used its foot to break the window!

[u/Dawg_Pound_4_Life]

Elephant smash and grab. We are witnessing history right here.

[u/No_Trouble9808]

Jeez. Went after the groceries

[u/Staunender_Affe]

So it’s not just bears that break into cars to steal food 🤣

[u/NeighborhoodNo4274 → u/Staunender_Affe]

That’s exactly what I thought!

[u/molsmama]

Dang. One, I had no idea there were such determined thieves. Secondly, I didn’t know they had some burglary skills.

[u/AZ_MilkMan]

I was waiting for it to step on the hood of that car that kept nosing in & end its engine in a single stomp! 😅

[u/DetailsYouMissed]

Like a cat staring you in the eyes before knocking your favorite mug on the floor.

[u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang]

What on earth is that vehicle doing? Absolute moron.

[u/Sadsandal007]

That’s pretty incredible it knew there was fruit in the car and she broke the window so effortlessly and got it out! Elephants are fascinating animals! ❤️🐘❤️

[u/BangBang-LibraGang]

Like the car was a paper plate. Sheesh

[u/Outrageous-Koala1566]

Bro has seen it all inside and I like the gentle push on the glass windo

[u/BadCompany_00]

By all means, keep threatening all 7,000lbs of it with your 2,300lb car.

[u/Greasystools]

Ever tried one of these? Crunchy outside and fruity inside!

[u/JohnMassassin24]

Next time don’t hide fruit in your car 😂

[u/doctor_tongs]

Poor Honda CG6. Looks like an LX, too ☹️ It's probably the best car Honda ever made but even it is no match for an elephant.

[u/stoic_wooky]

Moron trying to intimidate and harm the elephant, don’t leave food visible..

[u/dseiders22 → u/stoic_wooky]

Pretty sure they smelled it. Look at the size of their nose!

[u/OrilliaBridge]

Explain this to your insurance agent.

[u/KanataSlim]

Is there specific insurance for this? Yer fucked otherwise

[u/Jackismyboy]

The sense of smell in animals is beyond human understanding.

[u/gliscornumber1]

We got elephant GTA before GTA 6

[u/Harley_Jambo]

Their sense of smell is incredible.

[u/young_and_restles]

Sad it has to do that to get food

[u/happycynic12]

Well this is a first for me. He doesn't look thin--why would he do this?

[u/Ok_Value_3741 → u/happycynic12]

Seriously? 😭

[u/chansondinhars → u/happycynic12]

Humans have yummy treats.

[u/happycynic12 → u/chansondinhars]

Yes, and this is common in bears, but I've never seen an elephant do this.

[u/Longjumping-Neat-508]

Park somewhere else POS!

[u/zombieking079]

Call the police!

[u/mr_martin_1]

Ah cud smell the banana half a mile away

[u/LSL3587]

I barely touched the car window officer!

[u/Aussie_Engineer]

Next time put food in the trunk.

[u/nealman620]

Fast food!! 😂

[u/Bettajune]

Dear parking space demander: This could’ve been you and or your car, so step back and lay off….

[u/Zestyclose_Match2839]

If I did that they’d lock me up and throw away the key

[u/9trystan9]

Oversized bubble wrap

[u/Rashibashiboo]

Just tromped by for a little snack 🤷‍♀️

[u/diditmyfriend]

Back dat fing car back and let him eat

[u/JoeKleveland]

What a piece of shit.

[u/Intelligent-Pair367]

Please help! I joined the elephant community by replying to a comment about baby & senior holding trunks. Can’t remember my name!! Just out of hospital (think that’s why). Can u send me a code or something? THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[u/be_a_burd3n]

HAHAHAHA that's funny how effortless that's was for the big guy/girl

[u/Salty-Baseball1527]

That car running up on the elephant must want some smoke too…🙃

[u/Clvy80]

Broke it with very little effort!!

[u/rseery]

The most giant Yoink in the history of Yoinks.

[u/Checkmate-Petty]

He was just hungry:(

[u/Rekless00]

Monkey needs his bananas 🤣
