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.... http://nypost.com/2016/02/01/dont-mess-with-this-elephant/

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.

I've read Capstick. Nothing in Africa is easy or safe. After reading "Death in the Long Grass", I've been a Capstick junky ever since. I still steal lines from his books, like "deader than easy credit".

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.
