    Scott Brierley decided to take a few selfies during a visit to West Midlands Safari Park as a memento of his great day out.

    However, he apparently then dropped his phone while in the elephant enclosure.

    The 23-year-old claims he was told to stay inside his car and was therefore unable to retrieve it.

    When he was eventually reunited with his phone, Brierley was surprised to find a picture of 22-year-old elephant Latabe.

    "I really couldn't believe when the phone came back, I pressed the centre button to check it was still working and there it was – me and my friend were in shock," he said.

    Head keeper Andy Plumb said the “elfie” (elephant selfie) was a first for the park.

    "Lots of people have dropped their phones at our park but I've never seen anything like this," he said.
