The family of a farmer was left terrified after they received unexpected nocturnal visitors: an elephant and her calf. <br /><br />The CCTV cameras of the family caught the mother and calf strolling leisurely inside the spacious compound of their home for nearly 15 minutes looking for food. <br /><br />The duo then stood patiently near the front door, which was locked from inside, for over a minute. They then left as quietly as they had arrived without creating a fuss. <br /><br />The incident occurred at a village near Coimbatore, South India.<br /><br />A local farmer Narasimmaraj had installed CCTV cameras after robbers had struck and snatched a golden chain from his mother right in front of his house. <br /><br />On the night of 30 November as he locked the doors and checked the CCTV footage he spotted the elephant and the calf. <br /><br />The anxious family kept a close watch on the movement of the nightly visitors. <br /><br />“We were scared and prayed to god that they go away without hurting anyone,” said Narasimmaraj. <br /><br />Their prayers were answered and the animals left the place without attempting to bring down the wooden door and reach out to the family on the side of it. <br /><br />Villagers said the animals did not feel threatened as no one disturbed them. <br /><br />Narasimmaraj said while the Coimbatore district had been witnessing growing incidents of human-elephant conflict, it was the first time the animals had paid a visit to his village.<br /><br />+CLIENTS PLEASE NOTE: MUTE FROM SOURCE+
