A herd of around 60 elephants was caught on camera marching near an inhabited village in east India and charging after villagers and forest workers trying to deter them. <br /><br />The herd arrived at Shyamraipur near the town of Numaligarh near Golaghat, Assam on December 3 at around 9:00am, and villagers began to gather to make noise and try to drive away the elephants. <br /><br />Cameras set up in the area caught the moments when the 60 elephants, including a number of calves, charged after the crowd of villagers and forest officers, who were unable to stop them. <br /><br />Luckily no injuries were reported. <br /><br />Elephants populations often are seen near settled areas in Assam, and frequently damage local crops and buildings, due to shrinking habitats and growing human expansion.
