Huge Elephant Crashes Family Pool Party

Oct 12, 2020

An unexpected party guest created quite the stir in South Africa. Would you believe the guest was an elephant?

A couple had a private pool party when the large creature wandered in as if he had received an invitation. The large male African elephant even helped himself to a drink of water from the pool.

We can’t seem to trace the origin of the video, but we found it on the internet and loved it.

While many people may be concerned that the elephant was drinking chlorine, the pool's owners have assured everyone that the pool was not chlorinated. This means that the water posed no health risks to the elephant.

Even if the pool water had been full of chlorine, it is likely that the natural instincts of the elephant would have kicked in and it would not have been able to drink the water.

It is no surprise that the elephant was thirsty. An average elephant drinks up to 50 gallons of water per day. All of this water is needed to wash down the 100 to 200 pounds of plants that an elephant eats daily. It is no wonder that these animals are so massive.

The super-long trunk of the elephant allows it to reach high trees and water sources with ease. The trunk is also used to breathe, hold things, and to smell. This multi-functional body part is what gives the elephant the distinctive look that separates it from other creatures in the animal kingdom.

This party crasher is definitely something to behold. Imagine being at this party relaxing with a drink in your hand when an elephant comes barreling through into the backyard. After you have watched this spectacle, be sure to spread the clip to as many people as you can. It is truly amusing to witness.
