Tourists paddling through a Botswana waterway suddenly found themselves facing an angry elephant protecting her young. The peaceful wildlife trip changed instantly when the elephant charged through the shallow water.
The elephant overturned canoes and forced the terrified visitors into the water. Reports described the mother as highly protective of calves that had been hidden from the approaching tourists.
The incident became a frightening reminder that getting too close to elephant families can have serious consequences. In the wild, mothers will fiercely defend their calves from anything they believe could be a threat.
