IDIOT!!!
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2...take-picture-it.html A German tourist has been trampled to death by an elephant in Zimbabwe as she tried to take photos of it.
The 49-year-old was at the Mana Pools game reserve north of the country, where she reportedly left the vehicle she was travelling in, putting herself in great danger.
The woman was with a group of tourists who encountered a herd of elephants upon entering the park.
Tinashe Farawo, spokesman of the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority, said: “The information we have is that the tourists encountered a herd of elephants when they were entering the park and they started taking pictures.
“We do not know what irritated the animals which resulted in the woman being attacked. She passed on last night (Wednesday) from injuries.”
Officials have not yet released the woman’s name.

No, it is the garlic bologna.
What irritated elephants? Being in their space.

YooperSigsJust had a tourist fall off a cliff in Pictured Rocks while taking a selfie.
Dead. Did this in front of other tourists who were kayaking in the lake below her.
Now there a vacation memory!

egregoreFour blind elephants touched a man to see what he was like. They all agreed - men are flat.
If you've ever wondered why you never see a tamed African elephant performing work, being ridden, performing in a circus, etc., it's because they
can't be tamed. (The ones you see doing these things are of the Asian variety, and even then they still turn on their masters from time to time.) Getting too close to one, regardless of their sex or the circumstances, is extremely dangerous.

One of my favorite pics of all time.
