Gigantic Elephant Crashes Pool Party & Grabs a Drink (VIDEO)

elephant pool partyDon't you hate it when you're at a pool party, drinking beers, having fun, engaging in some general summer frivolity, when all of a sudden a gigantic elephant strolls on up and starts drinking out of the very pool you're relaxing in? Sooo annoying.

What do you do? How do you act? If you're anything like these people -- who had this very thing happen to them -- you kind of just ... hang out.

Here's hands-down the craziest video you will see today. It's ... well, it's an elephant walking up to a pool to grab a drink. While there are people in the pool.

These people sure remained calm. And I guess there really was no reason not to. The guy just wanted a drink. Cute!

How cute is this?

    Oh my goodness!!!!  How scary!!  He looks like he stares them down for a minute, wondering if they are a threat or not.  Yikes!

    I've been up close to them in the wild, but not that close.  How scary. and amazing.

    Oh wow!
    Poor elephant though. I am sure chlorine water isn't what he was looking for! Lol!

    Wow, that's the most awesome thing ever! How fortunate for them to be able to experience something like this close up. *sigh* I am envious

    That is so awesome! Remaining calm was probably the best thing for everyone to do since panicking may have excited the elephant into a rampage. I can't imagine being so close to a wild elephant like that, just amazing. Prima: Most cell phones have cameras on them and are usually in close reach. I have mine set where with the touch of one button I can start my video camera. Not to mention, the elephant had probably been surveying the area because of the water so they had probably seen the elephant coming for a while. It's not like it snuck on them.
