ZIMPARKS spokesperson Tinashe Farawo said Michael Bernard Walsh (71) was killed while taking an unguided tour with his son in Mana Pools National park in the north of the country.
The two had walked about 40 meters from where they had parked their car when they encountered the elephants, with one of them charging at them, Farawo said.
The son managed to escape and reach the car while Walsh could not outrun the elephant which trampled him to death.

They are wild animals. Not Disney cartoons. Stay in the f***ing car.

Here’s a little rule that I have.
If the animal can kill me, I stay a good distance away from it.

"Walsh could not outrun the elephant which trampled him to death." That's gonna leave a mark.

this is sad of course....however, we humans think that we can treat wild animals as pets and then are surprised....
I really wish a few more imbeciles would get the karma in Yellowstone national Park...

The key to survival when in the wilds: always hike with someone you can run just a little faster than.

I ran a Pet The Buffalo stand outside of Yellowstone this summer.
Glued a bath rug onto a cow.
Made a fortune.
“Why does this Buffalo have purple hair?”
“Too much minerals in the water.”

Elephants can run up to 25mph. 71 year old man? Maybe 15?
