When you splash about in a swimming pool, cold drink in hand, you make sure to have your sunscreen slathered on evenly and all the pool toys necessary to keep the little ones entertained. This family headed out to the pool during one summer afternoon, without knowing they were in for quite the surprise.

A gentle giant walks towards them from the park, curiously dipping its trunk into the water. In utter amazement, they grab the camera to record what they are witnessing.

The incredible footage below features the actual distance away from this elephant. That’s right – no zoom at all!

They said, “at least he was polite enough not to knock over the beer!” I don’t know how they stayed so calm during this scene straight out of the safari!

SHARE the love and pass it on!
