killed by an Elephant???

[Mortblanc]

I absolutely had no idea where to post this article. It is a tragic reminder that the animals we often try to protect are wild creatures and have no appreciation for acts of kindness, nor do they comprehend intent. It is not in their DNA. Eat, Survive, Reproduce, and part of that survival is crushing any threat that comes near.

Of course the current nature documentaries do not promote safety what with the use of telephoto lenses making it look like the performers are right up in the animals space.

I was impressed at how the news agency stretched the article out for several paragraphs about the soldiers record without giving a single factual detail about his death.

I certainly hope it as not a "hold my beer and watch this!" incident.

Also a reminder to take the headphones out and turn off the phone, there might be an elephant sneaking up on you!
