A video of a man riding a bike on a blocked road and almost getting hit by an elephant has surfaced on the social media and has left the netizens fuming. A video shared by a forest officer on Twitter shows the man speeding on the road that was blocked for a herd of elephants to pass and having a close shave from getting hit by an elephant.

Forest officer Parveen Kaswan tweeted the video that shows a man speeding away on a road blocked for a herd of elephants to pass. He almost ran into an elephant who was crossing the road and sped away. The biker left the elephant standing at the spot for a couple of seconds and continued to go on its way.

Kaswan criticised the biker in his caption saying that the most difficult part of wildlife management is managing humans and urged his followers never to do what this man did.

The video posted last week received more than 39,200 views and got over 2,200 likes. The comments received on the video saw many users asking for the man to be penalised and how humans can be 'uncivilised' too.
