An Italian tourist in the coastal region of Kenya was killed by an elephant this week after the man got too close while trying to take a photograph.
The 66-year-old tourist and his wife were having breakfast in their tent at the Swara Camp in Kulalu Ranch when the man spotted the elephant at a watering hole. He went to get a better look and a memorable snapshot, but his proximity provoked the animal to charge him.
After sustaining serious injuries to his left leg, the man died at the camp.
