When elephants go Bad

When you've spent countless hours in bed, coughing, gaging and weasing - you want to be entertianed - I expected so much more from this. Feb. 14 - A herd of elephants escape from a national park in Kenya and destroy crops in nearby villages. Residents were counting their losses after more than 30 elephants escaped from a national park in Tsavo in south-western Kenya. Kenyan Wildlife Service officials were forced to use helicopters to round up the animals after earlier attempts to drive them away failed. Kenya has a national population of about 30,000 elephants, with an estimated 10,000 found in the Tsavo/Mkomazi ecosystem.
