Elephant rubs her backside on safari truck

A bizarre video has emerged of an elephant approaching a safari truck and rubbing her backside on it.

The footage, shot at Yala National Park, Sri Lanka, in January, shows the driver spraying the elephant with water in order to make the elephant leave.

"One of the young females got a little uncomfortable with our presence near the baby and came towards the jeeps," the filmer wrote online.

"She passed my jeep very closely and then used her backside to push against the other,"
