'Elphie' selfie snapped by elephant with Christian LeBlanc's GoPro



A Vancouver man is making international headlines with an extraordinary 'elphie' selfie photo taken by an elephant in Thailand that grabbed his GoPro.

Christian LeBlanc is a 22-year-old UBC student who spent the past semester on an exchange program in Bangkok. He says about two months ago he was travelling through southern Thailand when he came across an elephant sanctuary on the side of the road.

"I see a sign that for 50 cents you can feed the elephant. So my girlfriend and I go and buy a basket of bananas and we start feeding the elephant," LeBlanc told CBC News.

"The elephant loves the bananas, so it kind of gets a bit nosy — it grabs at your hands, it tries to take all the bananas. And once we ran out, next thing I knew it was it was grabbing the GoPro."

LeBlanc says "with one swift movement" the elephant threw its trunk into the air and inadvertently snapped the best photo he's ever gotten.

"I didn't even have time to think. It all happened so fast."
