I know - they look super cute and I so much wanted to walk out of my car and hug them (or since they are so big, hugging would probably have been impossible... so maybe I just wanted to pet them!). But please don't put yourself under a risk - these are wild animals and can kill you in a matter of seconds. Also, when elephants get close to the car, be careful with opening your window and photographing them. It may happen that they will 'get interested' in your camera and you will never get it back !!
