This is the moment a bull elephant on musth - when its testosterone levels can reach 60 times greater than normal - decided to get closely acquainted with a parked hatchback.

一只处在发情期的公象似乎决定近距离了解一下停泊在路边的一辆汽车，这组照片记录了这样一个时刻。公象处于发情期时的睾丸素水平可达到平常的60倍。

The two terrified occupants of this VW Polo found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time as a giant elephant stooped down to rub itself against the vehicle's roof and bonnet.

当这只大象俯下身来压蹭他们的车顶和引擎盖时，大众Polo车中的这两位乘客深刻地意识到他们在错误的时间出现在了错误的地点。

The incredible images were taken by Armand Grobler, 21, a field guide and lodge manager, in Pilanesburg National Park in South Africa.

21岁的阿曼德·格罗布勒是南非毕林斯堡国家公园的一名野外导游和旅馆经理，这组神奇的照片就是他拍下来的。

'Yet even though it was on musth, it displayed no signs of aggression or frustration and was in a more playful mood.'

“即使这只公象在发情期间，他也没有出现什么攻击性的行为或表现出挫折感，心情反而更像是在嬉戏玩耍。”

Elephants frequently use logs, small trees and rocks to relieve an itch or remove parasites - but with the car so close to hand, it was a chance too good to pass up.
