An elephant could be seen stomping down a highway in Calabria, southern Italy on Thursday.
In video shared with the BBC, the animal appears to be heading towards a supermarket.
Local media reports say that the elephant escaped a local circus, and has since been returned.
The BBC contacted the police, but authorities avoided addressing the elephant in the room and were unable to confirm the story.
