And this male elephant in the throes of “musth” – a period of super-high testosterone – is expressing his affection for the Polo rather forcibly. It must have been a very scary experience for the occupants – who were unhurt – on a road in Plilanesburg National Park in South Africa. The Polo suffered extensive damage to its body, windows, chassis and tires.

Jeez the elephant has an O face and everything. I hope their windows weren’t down.
That elephant must really like Polo.
A truly WTF moment.
Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there!!!!!!!
Imagine the insurance claim.
It will take more than a few lines to explain…..
At least they have photo documentation.
I’ve never loved a car that much. Now maybe with bikes, a couple times.
It must have been a long afternoon in the park that day for parents. Mommy look that elephant has two trunks!
The rear bumper cover alone, makes that Polo look awfully pudgy. And perhaps equally appealing to a Hippo.
Years ago a family friend had an elephant sit on the hood of his Beetle. Didn’t total it, but did a lot of damage. He was in the Wild Animal Park in San Diego.
“Good Lord Martha…..stop staring at IT with your mouth open…..”
“Well I told you we shouldn’t open the sunroof!”
I think i would have pulled out! (Reversed)
Honey,
A funny thing happened on the way to the forum!?
Wonder what the offspring of this event would look like?
B3
Not certain, but it would have a trunk and a hatch.
An elephant that can play Polo. (Number B3 !)
One of the best cars to be treated this way. Now if this elephant could turn his attention to the rest of the current Volkswagen and Audi range………
Yep, not a fan
When there are no “pregnant elephant” Packards around, one must choose the available alternative.
Perhaps this story belongs on another car blog, http://www.carlustblog.com?
Rule 34 has a new face! Imagine the walk of shame for the car owner and for the elephant going back to the herd.
I’ve heard of interracial, and even interspecies, but this? Whoa…
