A rare elphie: Elephant takes selfie with Vancouver man (PHOTOS)
A Vancouver man’s adventures in Southeast Asia are receiving some international attention after an elephant used its trunk to grab his camera and took an ‘elphie’.
Christian Leblanc told The Daily Mail that he was feeding elephants in Koh Phangan, Thailand. When his supply of bananas ran out, the animal gently took hold of his GoPro camera while it was on the time lapse setting.
Leblanc told the newspaper that the “elphie” was his “best selfie and quite possibly the best ever.”
The 22-year-old recently graduated from the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia. He first arrived in Thailand four months ago and is now traveling the Philippines with his girlfriend.
