Homenews

We can all learn something from these tourists.

Admittedly, spending your days on our rainy little island significantly lessens your chances of every bumping into a large bull elephant, but if you do, remember what happens here. This encounter takes place in Zimbabwe's Mana Pools National Park as a group of Irish and American tourists are dining. Spotting the elephant approaching, they opt to stay extremely still and quiet in a hope that he'll just lose interest and amble away. Bad idea. Within a few seconds, the elephant lunges towards them - clouting the blokes either side of him with his massive tusks. https://youtu.be/QRdSWtUdawU Fortunately, nobody was seriously injured.
