A Zimbabwean man has been trampled to death while trying to take selfies with elephants.

The 31-year-old is believed to have provoked the animals, as he tried to herd them to an open space to get a good shot.


 


Instead, the elephants charged him and his friends.


 


The man had been separated from his friends during all the commotion.

This is the second selfie accident involving wild animals in Zimbabwe this month.


 


A woman was badly injured while taking photos with a caged lion earlier this month.


 


There’s a great lesson to be learned here - safety over selfie!
