• In South Africa, a visitor to the Pilanesberg National Park lost his life after being trampled by an elephant, CTV News reported.
The 43-year-old man was driving through the park when he left his car and approached a herd to take photographs, police said. Three other people in the car were unharmed.
The elephant herd included young calves, which may have made the adults more aggressive.
Piet Nel, chief conservation officer for the North West Parks and Tourism Board, said visitors are explicitly instructed not to leave their cars.
"We must remember that you are entering a wild area," he said. [CTV News, 7/9/2024]
