Elephant is king of the lizard swingers
MADHURI the Indian elephant gives this defenceless lizard the ride of his life – swinging him from side to side in her mammoth trunk.
She’s so smitten with her new toy, she’s even stopped chewing her grass while she plays with him.
The bizarre spectacle, in India’s Corbett National Park, was captured by photographer Jagdeep Rajput.
He said: “The park has a good population of lizards and Madhuri is an expert in catching them – she has a particular fancy for monitor lizards.
“She caught the lizard alive and carried it all the time for a few days – tossing it up and even dropping it.Her behaviour was extraordinary.”
