The clip was posted on the YouTube channel of Latest Sightings with a caption describing the incident. "An elephant comes to drink water near a resting lioness. When the lioness sees the elephant, it's too late to run, so she hides behind the well. All seems to go well, until the elephant notices her, gets a fright, and sprays her with water," they wrote.
The video opens to show a lioness lying on the ground by a well. Suddenly, she notices an elephant coming her way. Realising it is too late to run away, she decides to hide behind the well as the gentle giant starts drinking water from there.
