Baby elephant attacks zookeeper
A video of a baby elephant knocking down and injuring his trainer at a Ohio zoo in the U.S., is making waves on the internet.
The YouTube video shows the animal pinning the keeper in a corner of its enclosure after being startled by his arrival. The elephant is then seen backing away before charging at the keeper.
The video, which was released by the Toledo Zoo, also shows the keeper stumbling out of the enclosure as the elephant stands back.
It was reported that the keeper has been taking care of the elephant since birth and the cause of the attack is still unknown.
The injured keeper has been in hospital since the attack occurred three weeks ago. He and his family had initially tried to prevent the release of the video but subsequently changed their minds to show the public that the animal had not been mistreated.
Watch what happened.
