:-) :-) :-) :-)

i quote a colleague of mine when i see the photo of the vehicle that was "trampled by an elephant"

"daar is nie .........manier nie"

the "reporter" or media "liaison officer" that took the statement from a clearly traumatised occupant of the vehicle should have used an official translator

A shared colleague, leachy! X#X

Spoke to some people, with conflicting opinions. But agreed the ellie got hurt and probably exacted revenge in reaction.

Either way, that ellie must be found?

I do think that the ellie got bumped. And if you don't believe an Ellie can damage a car like that. O:V Believe me, they can. But this begs the question, how many of these incidents now, and everytime the ellie comes second, like the one that was shot earlier this year after damaging the other vehicles. O**

In any case, I do hope the ellie is OK. \O

The topic heading is a bit misleading though, it should read: Elephant breaks car to pieces. =O: =O:

Howsit Doggie-dog. 0/0 Hey, there are some irate ellies there these days. I find that there is more aggression lately, but that could be due to various reasons.

Firstly, the obvious reason of dumb tourists, then after that, maybe some skirmishes with poachers, but then also, did SANParks start the culling project already. :-?
