Elephants caught on CCTV raiding family’s garden in Thailand

A herd of elephants was caught on CCTV raiding a family’s garden in Thailand.

The three wild jumbos roamed into the orchard in Nakhon Ratchasima province on October 24 morning.

They were seen standing in front of the gate, seemingly unable to enter, before trampling the wire fence to sneak inside.

The shocked homeowner found the elephants eating her fruits in the morning, but could not figure out how they managed to enter her home.

She said: ‘When I checked the CCTV, I was shocked to see the three elephants stepping on the wire barrier and entering my property.’

The wild animals later left after finishing their meal.

Thailand has an estimated 2,000 Asian elephants living in the wild but there is often conflict when they come into contact with humans on roads and in villages. A similar number of elephants are kept captive where they work in zoos and are hired out for religious festivals and weddings.
