A wild elephant entered an army canteen located in the military station at Binnaguri in West Bengal state, India, in search of food recently.

The footage of incident shot on mobile by a staff shows the wild tusker searching for food in the canteen’s dining hall without making a mess of the area.

“The elephant left the camp in dignity without causing any damage,” said Col. Rohit Sharma stationed at the base.

Binnaguri is a small hamlet in Alipurdar district close to the border with Bhutan.

“The lush green foliage and grass in the military station attract elephants from the nearby forests located in Bhutan. The smell of ripening jack fruit attracts them so also the pineapple in kitchen gardens. During fruiting season herds of elephants visit the station,” said an army personnel.

He further added, “So far the animals have not harmed any residents or caused any major damage to the property. The army personnel are used to them and sometimes drive them away bursting crackers and lighting torches. Both men and the elephants live in perfect symbiosis here.”
