A video of an elephant raiding a cookhouse has gone viral on social media. The clip shows the elephant inside a room looking for eatables. People in the background can be heard saying that the jumbo will finish all the eatables. It seems the animal was eating vegetables kept inside a plastic bag. People can be heard telling the elephant to not cause damage, but the animal seems to be in the mood to listen to humans. The video has been viewed more than 12,700 times in less than hours. As it went viral, a Twitter user commented, "The clip is of cookhouse unit in Madukkarai (Coimbatore) sir."
A Twitter user Rohit Agarwal shared it with the caption, "An elephant got into a unit cookhouse - somewhere in the Eastern Sector." As the video went viral, Twitterati reacted hilariously to the incident. One of the comments read, "Literally: If 'Elephant in the Room' has a picture. Another Twitter user writes, "Haha...someone instructed the cute elephant to not to break the door. He just slipped away quickly."

It seems to be a regular occurrence in residential areas near forest regions. People seem to acquainted with elephants entering their settlement. While the video has generated hilarious reactions on social media, we are not sure if the mammoth caused any serious damages.
