  2. Which is more frightening, an angry male African Elephant or a hungry male Polar Bear chasing you down?

    Either way will be painful and probably decisive. The elephant will stomp you to death, then leave, while the polar bear will rip you to shreds then eat you.

  10. The perp was an Asian elephant, not African, smaller and more docile. The tourista was “shuffled”, not trampled and that’s why he was able to get up and walk away. Quite right, Brad, no they won’t learn. Probably planning more selfies for next year’s trip to Bengal.

  12. Maybe use a little common sense and respect (especially for the large one that can literally squash yer ass) that the animals didn’t ask you to to fool with them in their territory.

  18. When I worked at Carson & Barnes 5 – Ring Trained Wild Animal Circus in the 70s, my buddy, Red Wilson was on the elephant crew. He did something that irritated Mabel. She picked him up with her trunk and tossed hm 30 feet into a cactus patch. These were Asian elephants. Generally, they were sweethearts.

    I was in Estes Park, CO many years ago and got to see the Elk as they gathered for their rut.

    Some brain dead bozo with a huge telephoto lens thought he needed to get closer to the male so he could photograph it up it’s nostrils. The Elk obliged by quickly shortening the distance between them, picked up the now frightened brain dead bozo and tossing him quite a distance. He tried to get up, but the Elk decided that was fun and did it again. And again.

    Many irritated (at the brain dead bozo) people who were smart enough to not bother the Elk were happily taking videos and snapping great photos, while mister brain dead bozo’s destroyed large telephoto lens lay in heaps.

    He survived, but I doubt he learned his lesson.
