Footage of a man being grabbed and thrown to the ground by an elephant has been shared in multiple Facebook posts, which claim it shows a tourist being attacked in provincial Sri Lanka. The claim is false: the video actually shows an elephant attack in Thailand in April 2021. The man died from his injuries, local media reported. The video, which features graphic images of the attack, was shared in this Facebook post published on April 25, 2021. “In Kandalama Sri Lanka tourist went to feed an wild elephant was attacked and killed (sic),” the caption reads.
