Everyone Hands Up, It's a Robbery! Elephant Steals Potatoes From Truck

13:00 GMT 04.08.2017 (Updated: 19:31 GMT 19.10.2022)

This astonishing video of a wild elephant inspecting a truck was captured by drivers on a road in West Bengal, India.

The full-grown elephant stopped a truck loaded with potatoes, removed the tarpaulin cover and began munching on the food. The hungry jumbo's snack break halted traffic and triggered panic among truck drivers who started bursting firecrackers near the animal to shoo it away.
