I've heard more than one person say hunting elephants wouldn't be that big a deal. Tell it to this cape buff that got to close....

That's wicked.

And I wouldn't ever say something like that. I'd love to hunt one, but I would never take it lightly.

It's just an example of a bad attitude getting you killed. If an elephant can do that to a cape buffalo, an ordinary human, would be turned into a greasy spot.


for every stereotype there's a prototype don't be the prototype

I showed my wife and shes says the pictures are photo shopped, apparently she has some background with it. I have no doubt an elephant could do that.

Don't think it's photoshopped, you can see the mud flying from the buffalo

If it's photoshopped then they did a good job with the tusk coming all the way through the body...

Those photos are real, but they have been developed in a program like Adobe Lightroom or similar. That is just a normal part of digital photography. You have a lot more control and freedom developing digitally than with film.
