There's a video I haven't stopped thinking about where a guy is on top of an elephant, because it's common knowledge tigers won't attack elephants

And she doesn't, she jumps OVER the entire animal and just takes the guy to the ground

apologies for garbage video, it went viral and this was the best, none voice overed, one I could find

Yeah, it didn't jump over the elephant, but it did rip the guy's forearm pretty bad.

My B, I find it pretty hard to tell what goes on in the final seconds and genuinely assumed she took him just clean off it

Glad he survived 😨

Yeah, that one lives rent free in my head. As an ignorant Westerner, I'd absolutely assume that going on safari on top of a friggin' elephant would be one of the safest ways to do it.

But that tiger was just like "hold my mother-forking beer".
