Toledo Zoo Elephant attack update

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2010/07/21/2010-07-21_toledo_zoo_releases_video_of_elephant_attack_on_manager_who_suffered_fractured_r.html


Note the "crouch" that was described by an elephant expert as not being an actual attack on the elephant manager. What is so odd is it look's like he got out once, on the right at the entrance through the bar's, but then went around and came back in and got pinned in a corner in the back. The first 5 seconds of the tape showed me that the elephant was pushing him. It's trunk didn't look extended to get a carrot at all. Note the bulls flared ears, and stiff upright tail. That's the first warning an elephant gives you. Incredible!!!!!
