As a self-proclaimed elephant lover, he aimed to photograph his favorite creature in its natural habitat.

Little did Sheth know, his wildlife adventure was about to take an extraordinary turn. As he trained his wide-angle lens on a lone elephant at a distance, he started filming the majestic animal using his iPhone. Unexpectedly, the elephant approached closer than Sheth had anticipated.

Surprisingly, the elephant made a noise and a vigorous head shake. The sound bore an uncanny resemblance to a human sneeze, leaving Sheth momentarily astonished.

But this wasn’t a mere sneeze. In elephant language, this is a distinctive signal, a warning that humans have ventured too close for comfort.
