Kim Kardashian tried to take a selfie with an elephant - and we all know how that turned out - so, this guy played it safe and just let the elephant snap the selfie by himself.
Not that he meant to, of course, it just sort of turned out that way.
Scott Brierley was visiting West Midlands Safari Park in Bewdley, Worcestershire and he accidentally dropped his phone as he was passing by the elephant exhibit. The fast-acting elephant, named Latabe, quickly jumped on the photo-op and snapped a selfie.
"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," he told the UK's Express. "The elephant had taken two pictures, but the second isn't very good." Typical...
While this may have been the first elephant selfie ever, this guy obviously had done his research - even elephants have a cutting room floor when it comes to their selfie-snapping. Now, if only he had an Instagram account so he could throw a thousand hashtags on that baby (#nofilter and #makeupfreeselfie, for starters), he'd be golden.
