Christian LeBlanc of Vancouver is an exchange student in Bangkok. He
visited an elephant sanctuary in Thailand and was feeding bananas to the
elephants when
one of the pachyderms grabbed his camera! the result was a selfie taken by an elephant, or an “elphie.”
"I
see a sign that for 50 cents you can feed the elephant. So my
girlfriend and I go and buy a basket of bananas and we start feeding the
elephant," LeBlanc told CBC News.
"The elephant loves the
bananas, so it kind of gets a bit nosy — it grabs at your hands, it
tries to take all the bananas. And once we ran out, next thing I knew it
was it was grabbing the GoPro."
LeBlanc had turned on the time-lapse feature on his GoPro camera, so it automatically
took a picture.
As you can see, elephants don’t need a selfie stick because they carry
their own extension around all the time! You can see more pictures of
