Enraged Elephant Discovered to Be a Man-Eater

Local Authorities Opening Up the Man-Eating Elephant

An aggressive and enraged elephant that killed 17 people in India was found to have ingested human remains.  According to zoologist Dave Salmoni, the large mammal went on the rampage after her calf was killed.  When the animal was finally shot by a professional hunter, scientists discovered through DNA samples that the elephant consumed human flesh.

Elephants are strict herbivores and this shocking behavior is thought to be done out of revenge by a crazed mother.  A television special called "World's Deadliest Towns: Killer Elephants" will feature this story and will air February 21st on Animal Planet.
