Elephant steamrolls rhino mom

Elephant steamrolls rhino mom

the culprit was an elephant bull in musth who found a rhino and her calf crossing his path undesirable.

So, what did he do?

Well, according to photographer Louis Kok, he just steamrolled right over them. While the calf managed to get away, the mother was less lucky and sustained serious injuries.

Kok apparently reported the incident to the section ranger of the unnamed park and found out that the elephant had been responsible for a number of similar attacks in the past.

Sadly, the female black rhino died a few days later, but the story has a semi-happy ending, as the calf was spotted with a new herd not too long after.
