KELANTAN, MALAYSIA 29-year-old forest worker was attacked and trampled to death by an aggressive wild elephant. Witnesses of the incident, his coworkers, reported that the elephant attacked twice. The first time, it seriously injured him and broke his leg. The victim quietly prayed and hoped the elephant would leave. However, it returned and finished him off. Although elephants are usually very calm animals, they can cause fatal injuries if they attack. They especially attack females with calves when they feel threatened. Elephants are extremely strong and capable of uprooting trees or overturning vehicles. When encountering wild elephants, it is recommended to stay calm and keep a distance of at least 100–150 feet (30–50 meters). Never disturb elephants with loud noises, sudden movements, or camera flashes. Never approach their calves. Try to recognize their warning signals, which indicate an impending attack – raising front legs, swinging the trunk, snorting, and flapping ears. Even if you notice these signals, never run; instead, slowly retreat. If an elephant attacks, it is an extremely dangerous situation. In such cases, it is recommended to find a solid obstacle to hide behind. Move rather diagonally and slowly toward safety. If there is no escape, just crouch – an elephant may make a false attack, and if you don’t react with movement, it might leave. Do not attempt to fight in any way. The elephant is far too large.
