Usually when people say “let’s talk about the elephant in the room,” they aren’t talking about an actual elephant. However, for one hotel in Sri Lanka, they really just wanted to talk about the elephant that had wondered into their lobby. A video went viral over the weekend, showing an elephant casually walking around the lobby of a hotel, not causing any trouble.
While normally an elephant inside a building sounds like trouble, this elephant was just intrigued by its new surroundings and wanted to check things out. The video shows the elephant slowly moving through the lobby, gently touching things with its trunk. The elephant tried to help after knocking over a lamp at the Jetwing Yala hotel.
In the original post, the twitter user wrote, “Woke up to a text from my mom about how a wild elephant went into a Sri Lankan hotel and gently wandered around while poking stuff with his trunk.” Many online quickly added their own humorous commentary. It is unknown how long the elephant was in the hotel, but after all its viral fame; the hotel should probably go ahead and offer it a room.
