A 22-year-old college student from Vancouver, British Columbia had an extraordinary experience when an elephant grabbed his GoPro and took a selfie.
"The elephant quickly ate what little bananas I had and become touchy, trying to find more food," Christian LeBlanc told ABC News. "Next thing I knew it grabbed my GoPro by the mount." LeBlanc added that the camera had been set to continuous shooting mode at the time.
LeBlanc travelled with his girlfriend to Thailand and told CNN that they had "[come] across a couple elephants" and decided to buy some bananas to feed them.
After feeding the elephant, it was ferreting for more food and grabbed LeBlanc's GoPro.
"I got the selfie of a lifetime, which I can't take full credit for," LeBlanc said. "Elephants are incredibly intelligent, and it definitely makes you wonder if it was a conscious action."
The "elphie" was taken earlier this year, but the photograph has only gone viral this week.
But this isn't the first "elphie," according to Huffington Post, as last year, an elephant at a safari park in Worcestershire, England reportedly grabbed visitor Scott Brierley's phone and used it to take a selfie.
