Video of provoking elephants goes viral

In the viral video, it can be seen that some people are doing things like slingshot towards the herd of elephants and making loud noises. Forest officials say that such activities can provoke wild animals and can also put human lives in danger.

Forest department gave strict warning to people

According to wildlife experts, elephants are of calm nature under normal circumstances, but in some situations they can become aggressive. Like if someone intrudes into their personal boundaries, tries to go near their children or they feel any kind of threat.

This is the reason why the Forest Department continuously appeals to the people to be careful in the forest or elephant corridor areas and not to disturb any wild animal. Even after this video went viral on social media, many users have expressed displeasure over the carelessness of the people and advised to adopt responsible behavior towards wildlife.
