A viral video from Bandipur Tiger Reserve in Karnataka has sparked outrage over tourist behaviour in wildlife zones. The clip, posted on Instagram by Daniel Osorio on 2025-08-10, shows an elephant charging at a man who had reportedly tried to take a photo.
In his caption, Osorio wrote, “Elephant Charges Man in Bandipur Reserve After He Tried to Take a Photo. I filmed this scene on my phone while driving through Bandipur Tiger Reserve, on the road from Tamil Nadu to Karnataka. The elephant was calmly eating carrots it had picked up from a passing truck, while a long line of cars patiently waited for it to finish. According to the witness who was in the white car seen in the video, the man involved had used a camera with a flash to take a close-up photo of the elephant. The sudden burst of light startled the animal, triggering the charge. Signs along this road clearly state that visitors must remain inside their vehicles. This incident is a strong reminder to follow the rules of wildlife reserves and to let trained authorities — not people on foot — handle situations like this.”
