American businessman and hunter Ernie D'Zoio, 75, was trampled to death by a herd of five female forest elephants during an expedition in a dense tropical forest in Africa. The attack occurred when the group unexpectedly encountered the elephants, which were accompanied by a calf. The professional hunter accompanying D'Zoio was knocked down and seriously injured, losing his weapon, while D'Zoio, armed with a shotgun, was unable to defend himself. African forest elephants are considered the largest land animals and can be extremely dangerous when provoked.
