Elephant carefully steps over security barrier

Who would have thought that an African elephant could actually perform delicate stunts with incredible agility, precision and style?

Footage from a camera located at the security gate of a private camp in the Kruger National Park shows a giant beast stepping over a barrier.

The camp had been unattended for four hours while staff enjoyed an outing. On their return, they noticed a number of trees snapped in half, flowerbeds destroyed and a great deal of greenery eaten.

When checking CCTV footage, staff were amazed to see the bull elephant walking up to the barrier and curiously touch it with its trunk to inspect it... before proceeding to step over it one foot at a time.
