Nothing will stop this elephant from getting rid of the itch. Emily Whiting, a 35-year-old field guide and wildlife photographer, captured the hilarious moment she used an elephant tree as a pole at Claseri Private Nature Reserve in Limpopo, South Africa. As Emily and her companion walked, a five-ton moss-covered elephant approached them from a nearby tree before drawing their attention.

The two field guides turned the car into a safe position and Emily began recording the interaction by pushing the whole elephant tree and using it as a scrape on the back.
