Shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Parveen Kaswan on themicro-blogging site Twitter, the old clip from 2019 has garnered over 96.4K views so far.

In the clip, the elephant can be seen checking for any electric shock in the fence with one of his foot. After a while it pushes down the wooden pole and tries to throw a thick wood piece to break the barrier. After a short attempt, the elephant manages to pull down the pole and get to the other side of the road. 

"We are too smart hooman !! See how this elephant is smartly breaking power fence. With patience," Kaswan wrote in the caption of the post.
