Alvin Patterson Kaunda, a wildlife and environmental TV journalist, conducted the broadcast of a lifetime when a baby elephant decided to steal the show.

Kaunda was reporting on the elephant orphanage, Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya, when the elephant put its trunk over his head and on to his face.

To his credit, he managed to hold his composure for quite some time before eventually bursting into laughter.
