A Spanish tourist has been trampled to death by elephants in a South African national park after apparently trying to take pictures of a breeding herd that included three calves.
The 43-year-old man was killed on Sunday morning at Pilanesberg national park about 130 miles (210km) north-west of Johannesburg.
According to park officials, the man, who was with three friends, climbed out of his vehicle and walked towards the animals to take photos.
“Despite warnings from his fellow passengers, and occupants from two other vehicles that were at the sighting, he unfortunately did not heed their warnings,” the North West province’s parks and tourism board said in a statement.
You’re on the African savanna. Don’t get out of the fucking car. Even if the elephants don’t trample you, there’s lions and hyenas and stuff. Just fucking stupid.
Never get out of the boat!

If I was in a car somewhere in the U.S. with lots of death and I started to get out and everyone else in the car told me not to get out and two different cars driving by stopped and told me not to get out and then I got out anyway and got shot, yeah, I’d be fucking stupid.
But also, that’s not in any way the same as getting out of a car where huge wild animals that are historically known to kill people are roaming around free.
Americans then?
