A young man in India has been tragically killed while attempting to take a selfie with a wild elephant, and his death serves as a grim reminder that wildlife can be dangerous, unpredictable and must be respected. The elephant had entered a village in the Sarangarh forest range, and a sizeable crowd of spectators began to gather as officials attempted to haze the elephant out of the area. 21-year-old Manohar Patel and his three friends moved closer to the animal to take photos with their phones. When the distressed elephant suddenly charged, Patel’s friends were able to jump out of the way, but Patel was trampled to death. The female elephant was said to have been recently separated from her calf, and forest officials were trying to flush her back into the forest in hopes of reuniting her with her baby.
