The damned paparazzi tend to deserve their shabby treatment, if you ask me.

Animals are a lot like people, some of them act badly because they have had a hard life or have been mistreated. But like people, some of them are just… jerks.

That’s a very good possibility - pointing something at an animal could easily be mistaken for an aggressive act. Or, the elephant hates camera flashes and wanted to head that off.

Ooh, that was a scary situation.
None of the bystanders did anything to stop this.
Had the animal hero not reacted so quickly, there might be yet another vertical video out there now.
