Have You Heard This True Story???

I don't usually like these heart-warming stories, but this one is truly


interesting...





In 1986, Mike Hogan was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from


North-western University. On a hike through the bush, he came across a


young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.





The elephant seemed distressed so Mike approached it very carefully. He


got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot and found





a large


piece of wood deeply embedded in it.





As carefully and as gently as he could, Mike worked the wood out with


his hunting knife. The elephant gingerly put down his foot. The


elephant turned to face the man and with a rather curious look on it's


face, stared at him for several tense moments. Mike stood frozen,


thinking about being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted


loudly, turned and walked away. Mike never forgot that elephant or the


events of that day.





Twenty-one years later, Mike was walking through the Chicago Zoo with


his teenaged sons. As they approached the elephant closure, one of the


elephants turned and walked over to where Mike and his son were


standing.





The large bull elephant stared at Mike, lifted its front foot off





the


ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then


trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man. Remembering the


encounter in 1986, Mike couldn't help wondering if this was the same


elephant. Mike summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and


made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and


stared back.





The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Mike's


legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.











Probably wasn't the same elephant

Reply:They say an elephant remembers but this is awful. My eldest brother once went to London Zoo and offered an elephant a bun to eat and it took it and then struck my brother with its trunk across the chest and hurt him badly. Guess they were both rogue elephants
