PARTING SHOT

It may not fill up too much of our social media feeds at this time of year, but holiday selfies are now a common feature of many people’s Facebook and Instagram timelines from April onwards.

Taking selfies on holiday may actually be a dangerous pastime in some areas, however, with reports of people being attacked by wild elephants while trying to take a snap with them in the eastern Indian state of Orissa.

BBC reports that people have even died when getting too close to take a selfie with an elephant.

One forest ranger said: “As they come out in fairly large numbers, people get excited and start taking photos. But in doing so, the flash from their cameras irritate the animals, which is the main reason they attack.

But [warnings] do not matter. People are not taking it seriously.
