A Mallorcan woman was injured after being trampled by an elephant on safari in Kenya. "It gave me the beating of my life," says tik toker @ely_traveler with injuries to her face. Ely Fernández, who is a veterinarian, explains in a video on the social network the terrifying experience she had last month at the Elatia Mara Camp. The woman, who was on honeymoon with her husband, was about to start breakfast when one of the hotel workers approached them and told them that there were animals in the car park.

Idiot! She is supposed to be a vet. You don't mess with wild animals, especially elephants. I lived in rural Africa for 30 years, and saw similar on a recent trip to Ngorogoro. A large, young, solitary male elephant (always a bad sign) came wandering into the camp, and all the young trustafarian gap-yearing backpackers rushed out of the communal cooking block and surrounded it to take photos and selfies. My partner and I stayed safe inside to look out the window.
Clearly the elephant played a bit of football with her. If she had really been trampled on she’d have been squashed flat. But then, she’s a tik toker and there’s history there of totally fake stories. Yawn.
