In case you were wondering whether or not elephants enjoy being poked and prodded while they're eating-- they don't. The guy in this video got a little too close to this elephant's personal bubble and the massive beast let him know by delivering a near knockout blow with his powerful trunk.

This guy's basically a poster child for what to do if you want to get a black eye from an otherwise friendly looking elephant. While this trunk shot looks pretty intense, aside from a bruised ego, the guy seems to be okay.
