He told it to pack its trunk and leave.

A safari guide in South Africa demonstrated nerves of steel by calmly shooing away an elephant that got too handsy — or footsy, rather — for his liking, as seen in a now viral video.

In the clip, Eugene Troskie, 34, is seen repairing the wooden rim of a watering hole in Kruger National Park when several elephants approach him.

The Bethlehem, South Africa, native tells Kennedy News that he had “wanted the herd to drink from the waterhole and leave again, but this did not go as planned.”

In an effort to avoid being trampled by the enormous beasts, Troskie stood stalk-still next to a tree — much like the T-rex avoiding protagonists in “Jurassic Park.”

Unfortunately, his chameleon tactics didn’t fool one gregarious youngster, who strolled right up to the guide and started feeling up his legs with its trunk. The nosy elephant can even be seen taking exploratory kicks at Troskie with one of its tree-thick legs, making the man “extremely nervous.”

Troskie says, at this point, he needed to act fast otherwise the massive animal “could easily have stepped on my leg and crushed it.” As a result, the brave ranger can be heard shouting, “Hey — go on!” at the elephant, prompting Tantor to trumpet loudly before backing away into the woods.

Thankfully, “the elephant was not aggressive, just inquisitive,” says Troskie, adding, “I am an experienced professional and took a calculated risk doing this, although the interaction was unplanned.”

This isn’t the first time an inquisitive elephant has gotten too close for comfort. Last summer, a South Carolina zoo elephant redefined “junk in the trunk” after groping Playboy model Francia James with its giant appendage. In a more frightening incident this past November, a Thai tusker flattened a car like a beer can under its body weight.
