This is Truly An Incredible Story
In 1992, Mike was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northeastern 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, inspected the elephants 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 knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face Mike, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Mike stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled to death. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. * Mike never forgot that elephant or the events of that day. Twenty years later, Mike was walking through the San Diego Zoo with his young son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near 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 more times, then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at Mike. Remembering the encounter in 1992, Mike could not help wondering if this was the same elephant. Mike summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure. Mike walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around Mike's right leg and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly. Probably wasn't the same elephant
