The tension is unreal

The tension is unreal.

A group of Irish people were having lunch with some Americans at Mana Pools in Zimbabwe recently when an elephant gate-crashed the party.

The bull elephant ambled up to the tourists as he was eating pods off the ground but then he got a little too close and things escalated very quickly.

The whole tension-filled and terrifying incident was captured by one of the Irish guys at the table, watch it unfold here.

The best part of that is the Irish guy bursting his arse laughing and saying “sh*t” just after the barge. Thankfully nobody was injured.
