6/4/2015 - Eye-witnesses said the couple had been traveling along the scenic jungle road in the Indian state of Karnataka towards Oozy when they stumbled across the elephant and her calf.

Kerela based wildlife photographer Austin Cherupuzha watched the events unfold: “On spotting the elephant and its calf, the family parked their car on the roadside and stepped out of the vehicle. They began clicking pictures. It may have been the camera flash which disturbed the elephant, and it charged at them. The couple managed to escape. The car’s windows were open. It was then the bizarre thing happened. The elephant took a bag - supposedly made of leather - from the car, devoured it and then left.”
