aim - at mana pool a german woman tourist got out of her car to take pictures of a elephant herd and got trampled

So, Darwin and Murphy beat Walt' Disney to it again.....

l feel sorry for a family's loss, however it still amazes how many folks still believe that wildlife is harmless.

That’s like the woman here in Anchorage at the zoo who climbed over three fences to take picture of polar bear and got her ASS bit.

Second German tourist attacked by elephant in Zimbabwe

A German tourist sustained serious injuries when he was attacked by an elephant in a national park in Zimbabwe.

Harare – A German tourist sustained serious injuries when he was attacked by an elephant in a national park in Zimbabwe, the second German national to be trampled within a few days, the national parks authority said on Sunday.


The man, who is reportedly in his 50s, was trampled by the bull elephant while taking photos and filming wildlife in Victoria Falls national park on Saturday afternoon, said Zimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife Authority spokesman Tinashe Farawo.

The victim was receiving medical treatment in a local hospital, according to Farawo.

The accident comes only two days after a 49-year-old German woman was trampled to death by elephants in Zimbabwe’s Mana Pools National Park.

The woman had been rushed to a local hospital but died shortly thereafter from her injuries.


In 2017, 41 cases of elephants attacking people were reported in Zimbabwe, Farawo said.

Among them was a tourist guide who was trampled and torn apart by a bull elephant before colleagues could come to his aid.

Could it be a language/failure -to-communicate thing?

Or What ????

Heard from a different source Vic Falls was a cow and calf, which would explain things if true.

Yep, the elephants don't understand German.
