A bull elephant took out his seasonal disappointment on a car in a Thai wildlife sanctuary by stamping over the vehicle and ripping off the cover over the engine with its tusks, before trying to sit down on it.

The young couple inside the badly damaged car luckily escaped injury after the beast went on the rampage down a road running through the Khao Yai National Park near Bangkok. Having established its authority, the young male then headed back into the forest.

Authorities for the sanctuary, which is home to at least 300 wild elephants, have urged visitors to take extra care as it is mating season and the bulls can become aggressive.

Sanctuary chief Kanchit Srinoppawan said: “The drivers stopped when they saw the elephant and the elephant could not cross the road so he felt stressed and stamped the car.” Mr Kanchit warned visitors: “When you see an elephant do not honk, do not flash your car lights, do not take photos and keep your engine running.”

But he pointed out the park belonged to the wildlife. “We must balance between people, wild animals and tourism,” he added.
