There's a link to the video. Youtube has a longer video that includes the footage, but it has 3 minutes of news mucking it up.

The gist of it is that Jeff Corwin, animal expert extraordinaire gets chomped on the elbow and shaken in a pond of muddy water by a carnivorous elephant. ;)

Now how do you lock up an elephant in a Plexiglass cell and put a mask on him?

Unless Jeff Corwin is an elephant it's not really a cannibal is it?

Maybe it was a cannibal elephant...they were trying to get footage of it chomping on elephant steaks, and Corwin got too close...?

Well, cannibal is an excellent attention getting word, and besides, it's shorter than 'human flesh eater'

According to the blog, he is. Nothing broken. Though it remains to be seen if he has any torn ligaments or anything.

He got whipped around pretty good. I wonder if the elephant was playing or really annoyed with him.

Hard to tell, but from what I've seen and heard, if an elephant wants you dead, that's pretty much it. On the other hand, if YOu had the opportunity to toss Jeff Corwin around like a ragdoll, wouldn't you take it?

The murderous stingray injected it's disease causing a craving for the flesh of animal show hosts into an elephant.

If it was annoyed with him it would have pinned him down and crushed him with its forehead.

Yes. elephant moods are easy to determine; if they're smooshing you, they're upset. *nod*

How is an elephant trying to eat a human cannibalistic?

You have a good point there- I probably would.

Especially if he was standing in my toilet.
