Did you ever go inside a forest in a bus. The boarder of Kerala is like that. Wayand Mysore road goes through the forest. Drivers offers food to animals when they came near to vehicles. Some of the moments are really panic.

Near death experience with wild elephants on mysore road

wild elephants attacking car with tourists on wayanad-mysore road..near death experience for them..

We have some safari parks here that you can drive through, but people are told to keep their windows closed and not to get out for any reason. I've never done it myself.

We've done it twice. The latest was in Florida with my son and grandson. Such fun, although we opened the windows for photos. Shhh.

Opening window is risky. Diane is lucky to close it again. Lol

as long as the vehicles' windows are closed, then maybe these wild animals won't hurt the people inside.

They should have put an armor or steel screen on those vehicles, these animals aren't tourist guides they live in that environment.

Yes you are correct. We can't predict them.

Some of the incidents are unpredictable. The animals get angry to see the mob.

@shshiju We should respect the wild animals and leave them alone.

I think it is a bad idea to feed the animals like this. They come to expect it and then get upset when the food runs out.

Yes that is right. When animals approach for food, travelers with fresh experience will definitely shock to see them in front.

@shshiju that is a great idea to go into a forest on a bus. That is nice that drivers feed the animals.
