A hilarious video showing the moment that an elephant tickled a KBC journalist, Alvin Kaunda, in the nose has gone international.
The journalist was making a report surrounded by several seemingly friendly elephants as he patted one while speaking to the camera.
In the comic clip shared by KBC, one of the animals which were behind him started putting his nose on his ears, and the reporter did not mind and continued to make his report.
The elephant became more playful as it put its nose on the journalist’s head, and, in a blink of an eye, it was already in the reporter’s nose.

He had tried to keep a straight face, but once the jumbo’s nose was in his, he let out a loud laugh as the crew was also heard joining him in the laughter.
The footage has since captured the attention of international media houses, including CNN and The Washington Post.
“I just felt the ticklish trunk but tried to keep my cool,” Alvin told CNN.
