A table for one, please!
Simone Ruf, an employee at Flatdogs Camp in Africa’s South Luangwa National Park, recently took photos of an elephant she saw sitting in a cafe in the area, writes The Daily Mail.
Towards the exit, the wild animal did not stay in the rest area for long and eventually ran off, breaking one of the spokes of the umbrella on the way out.
“First the bull elephant moved the umbrella and then decided to sit on the table,” Ruf told the Daily Express, as reported by the Daily Mail. “It looked like he wanted to use the table as a place to sit.”
She added: “I think he was mostly just being mean. No one else saw it. I was alone. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.”

According to the website, South Luangwa National Park is located in eastern Zambia and is known locally as “South Park”.
The area, which covers about 3,500 miles of the Luangwa Valley floor, was originally known as the Luangwa Game Park in 1904, before being made into one of three game reserves in 1938.
Then in 1972 it became a national park.
Home to 60 species of mammals and more than 400 species of birds, the area has hippos and crocodiles in its river, plus giraffes, zebras and antelopes, along with many elephants, on its land.
The South Luangwa National Park website describes it as “one of Africa’s largest remaining untouched areas”.
