A foolish horse attacked a giant elephant but luckily came off unscathed.
The white equine suddenly lunged at the huge rival – about four times its side.
Locals scrambled for safety as the enraged horse sank its teeth into the elephant’s chunky leg.

The steed reportedly broke free of its tether to chase after the elephant, which was being ridden by a local mahout.
Footage filmed by a shocked onlooker showed the jumbo knocking over a sign and parked motorbike as it tried to escape from the aggressive horse.
The elephant rider whacked the horse with a stick to try to stem the attack.
But despite its size, the elephant did not retaliate and instead appeared to be on the defensive.
Several locals managed to grab the horse’s reign and pull it back as the larger animal scarpered down the road, as reported by Need To Know.
But the fuming nag managed to break free and promptly galloped after the fleeing elephant.
The bizarre animal attack took place in Ratlam, India, on Saturday (31 May).
The reason behind the horse’s aggressive behaviour is unclear.
Luckily, no one was reported as injured by the powerful clash.
One motorbike was damaged during the attack.
One local claimed “Why are so many things loaded on this elephant?
“It’s total animal abuse. With such a heavy load, it can’t run.”
“This gives us inspiration that if we try with all our might, we can defeat even the most powerful of forces,” added another.
Kunwar remarked: “This happens when we are not aware of our own strength.”
Kamlesh added: “I got to read about a fight between a horse and an elephant in history, and today I got to see one too.”
