Brierley dropped his phone in an enclosure only to discover later on that
22-year-old female Latabe had snapped herself with it A man who dropped his
phone at a wildlife park was stunned to find a elephant had taken a SELFIE on
it. Scott Brierley was making his way through West Midlands Safari Park taking
snaps of the giant African animals. But as he took a pic of himself with one of
them he dropped his phone into the enclosure. Ordered to stay in his vehicle
and keep moving the 23-year-old wasn't able to retrieve it until later on. But
when he did he was shocked to find 22-year-old female Latabe had taken a
picture of herself with it. Events manager Scott says he has now got the
world's only elephant selfie following the hilarious incident. "I live
quite close to the park so I've been there a few times," he said.
"The elephants are my favourite along with tigers. "Me and a friend
were driving past the elephant enclosure, I took a few pix of me with one of
the elephants. "But when I turned back around I hit my phone on the side
of the car door and it fell down onto the grass. "The elephant was all
over it, I think he thought it was food. I didn't dare get out the car to get
it. I just drove to one of the workers I could see and he went to get it.
"I really couldn't believe when the iPhone came back, I pressed the centre
button to check it was still working and wow there it was - me and my friend
were in shock. "The elephant had taken two pictures, but the second isn't
very good. I have shown everybody the elephant selfie, and they all love
it."
