This is the rare moment a hungry baby elephant stands on its back legs to reach low hanging branches.
 
Head chef Carlene Davy captured the uncommon sight while on a coffee break at her job at the Anabezi Camp in the Lower Zambezi National Park, Zambia.
 
While foraging for pods from the ana tree the juvenile nelly is unable to reach even the low-hanging branches.
 
In a desperate attempt to snatch its tasty snack, the crafty pachyderm leans on to its hind legs before propelling upwards to rip a branch down with ingenious trunk.
 
Carlene, from Arundel, West Sussex, said: “Having worked at Anabezi for a few years and hearing of the elephants I couldn't believe I had finally witnessed it for myself.
 
“I was taking a break from my work and enjoying a coffee.
 
“At first I saw him reach up out the corner of my eye and my initial reaction was it couldn't be."
