An elephant in Sri Lanka appears to have acquired a taste for the high life after it was filmed roaming the corridors of a five-star hotel in the south-east of the country.
Guests were treated to quite the surprise when Natta Kota, a fully-grown male Asian bull elephant, appeared to wander inside at the Jetwing Yala hotel before proceeding to have a gentle nose around with his trunk.
A video of Natta Kota caught in the act went viral over the weekend after being uploaded to Twitter.
The elephant, who lives in the grounds of the hotel, is well known by staff and frequently roams around the building.
Natta Kota, which means Short Tail, has been referred to as “the hotel’s most loyal patron” since 2013.
