Elephant on Aisle One: Thailand Supermarket Gets Unexpected Visitor

A hungry elephant created quite a stir in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, recently when it wandered into a local supermarket. The incident, captured on security footage, shows the large mammal navigating the aisles, helping itself to rice cakes and eggs before getting stuck beneath the low ceiling. "It was quite a surprise," said the store owner, who estimated the damage at around $30. The video shows the elephant's playful yet clumsy attempts to free itself, before wildlife rangers arrived to guide it safely back into a wooded area. The incident highlights the increasing interaction between wildlife and human settlements and serves as a reminder of the importance of wildlife conservation efforts.
