A dramatic video has emerged of a huge bull elephant attacking a van full of tourists at Kruger National Park, South Africa last month.
The footage, captured by a tourist, shows the moment the animal slams headlong into the side of the vehicle, in an apparent attempt to flip it.
It is unclear what provoked the elephant, although the park rangers have been alerted to the incident.
Thankfully, none of the passengers of the van were injured in the charge.
"We were heading South to the Malelane gate to leave Kruger Park with the whole family in a mini van.
The Elephant then tried to flip over our car, [but] luckily that did not happen.
We had damage to our car but luckily we could drive away," the filmer wrote online.
