The incident took place in Kruger National Park
A shocking video showing an intoxicated man charging at an African elephant has been posted online.
Filmed in Kruger National Park in the North-East of South Africa, the man is shown running at the wild elephant which appears to advance momentarily before fleeing.
The man is reported to be an off-duty park ranger.
Weighing in at 12,000 pounds, African elephants are considered highly dangerous animals as they can be extremely aggressive when provoked.
The tusks are potentially lethal but in most cases, human deaths occur by trampling.
Anyone remember the eagle picking up the kid? That was “real” too.
