Footage from an elephant camp in Kodagu, Karnataka, shows a fatal incident at a popular tourist bathing site for domesticated elephants. Two elephants suddenly began fighting in the water, leading to the death of a thirty-three-year-old tourist from Tamil Nadu. The woman was crushed and trampled to death when one of the fighting elephants fell on her. Despite her family's efforts to pull her out and rescue her, the ongoing fight between the two elephants in the water made it impossible to save her. The incident highlights the unpredictability of animals and serves as a reminder that wildlife behaviour cannot be taken for granted.
