KLUANG : A TikTok user with the handle Pukudut_01 has captured a series of videos of a herd of elephants crossing a trunk road here in Kluang.
The series of four video clips showed the pachyderms emerging from the secondary jungle, and cautiously crossing the stretch of road.
A crowd of curious motorists and villagers soon formed, with cars, bikes, and pickup trucks parked along the roadside, and a battery of handphones raised high to capture the spectacle on video.
One motorist could be heard saying; "Mini zoo... mini zoo..." repeatedly.
Johor National Parks director, Taufik Bahar, is aware of the videos.
He said investigations will be conducted by the Johor State Forestry Department and the State Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhilitan) to confirm the location, and decide on the next course of action.
Taufik added that it was important to establish where the herd of elephants came from, so that the villagers', and the animals' safety is not compromised.
"Wildlife will roam, in search of food, or when there is something wrong with their ecosystem," he said.
He also advised members of the public not to approach the elephants for their own safety.
