A massive elephant called ‘Curious George’ picked up a tourist’s camera bag with his trunk and tipped it upside down.<br /><br />Animal communicator Joan Ranquet was leading a group trip to Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe, when a huge bull visited their camp.<br /><br />Footage filmed last month shows the inquisitive elephant walk right over towards Joan before sticking his nose in her black camera backpack.<br /><br />After rooting around in the bag momentarily, George dragged it from under the tent and flipped it upside down using his trunk, completely emptying it on the ground.<br /><br />Joan said: “It would have been intimidating if I were out in the open, but we were under a flimsy tent.<br /><br />“George is a massive bull and is apparently curious about everything, hence his name.<br /><br />“The staff all knew him and were yelling ‘George, no, no’. I didn't get nervous when I realised that they all knew him and this seemed to be business as usual with him.<br /><br />“I was absolutely thrilled to have had that encounter. His trunk touched the girl next to me and started to come toward me.<br /><br />“I love safe interactions of connection with wildlife. So to me it was absolutely magical.<br /><br />“I am an animal communicator and lead small wildlife trips to see endangered species around the planet. I was with a group of eight people who came on a trip with me.”
