For those of you that may be unaware, zoos keep their animals in enclosures for your safety. This guy must have forgot about that.

A man in California visited the San Diego Zoo recently and decided he really wanted a selfie with an elephant. So, he climbed through multiple barriers to get up-close-and-personal with the pachyderm. Oh, and did we mention he had his 2-year-old daughter in tow? You can watch the idiocy unfold below:

Thankfully, no one was injured, and the man was arrested on a couple of charges, including child endangerment. You know, because he took his 2-year-old daughter into an elephant enclosure and nearly got her trampled.
