A canoe carrying British tourists was capsized and trampled by an elephant in a crocodile-filled river in Botswana.
The bull elephant charged at several canoes which were on a wildlife safari in the Okavango Delta on Saturday. It was believed to have been protecting its young after the guides steering the canoes misjudged how close they could get.
