Indian Forest Service officer Parveen Kaswan recently shared an intriguing video of an elephant playfully interacting with a vehicle in the forest. The clip begins with a vehicle parked with its doors open. Suddenly, the elephant rushes towards it, cleverly closing the car doors before proceeding to playfully hit the vehicle twice. Fortunately, no one was inside the car during this playful encounter.

In his Twitter post on August 1, IFS Parveen Kaswan humorously commented that it seems the elephant broke their vehicle purely for fun. Thankfully, the forest staff were safe and watching from a tower.
