Elephants Show herd mercy in fatal euthanasia act
In Addo National Park near Port Elizabeth Cape Province a herd of African elephants euthanized a sick elder female. A giant tusked bull killed her with a brain-stabbing tusk while two young bulls steadied her and the herd formed a protective circle. Autopsy confirmed a malignant abdominal tumor and brain injury. The incident was reported to the national parks board.
