We were in Kenya once and went for a walk with three families with young kids. They sent a one eyed game scout with us, armed with a 416 Rigby. As we started the walk, I asked him to give me the rifle if we get into any dangerous situation. We saw lots of elephants. Luckily none showed any signs of being belligerent. And the game scout was as good as his word. He stayed right next to me when we got close to the elephants. Some had massive tusks. | |||

This ignorance of animal behavior causes a lot of problems in the US State and National Parks. Whether it is bears, bison, elk, moose, or alligators, much of the public seem unaware of the risks involved in invading the animals "personal space" and this can lead to unpleasant results.
