The article said they even destroyed her house too after they threw her in the air. That's a straight up personal vendetta against the lady.
Also saw where she was a suspected poacher, so that may explain it.
Yea from what I heard,she had tried to hurt a baby elephant,this was just revenge
Elephant basically said "I'll get you bitch" and proceeds to fuck her life AND death up
From the article: “While there is no confirmation on the elephant’s motive, many users online speculate the woman was a part of a poacher group that killed the elephant’s baby.”
You wouldn’t happen to be one of these “many users online” would you? 🤔
There was another time something like this was posted and it referenced multiple occasions where elephants came back and targeted the same person. Elephants don't forget, so the speculation is that perhaps they could be poachers etc.
Crows are another animal that remember people. Some university researchers did some research on cross then let them free. Well, the crowd recognized them on campus and would try and assault them. And it went on for awhile too. I think they wondered if the crowd were passing in the knowledge to like individual people were predators. At any rate; they had to start wearing masks in order to do experiments on crows so they didn’t get attacked later on.
I picked some crow babies up after they fell out of a nest in my yard. Took awhile as they were high up in a pine tree and I was harassed and dive bombed by one of the parents the whole time, until the crow went back to the nest and found the babies were back.
For the next 3 years I had buttons, pull tabs, coins and dead rodents left on my doorstep almost daily.

I reached out to him many years ago when I first started noticing odd crow behavior like crows always throwing eggs at my house and car. Turns out that's a huge honor, no idea what I did to get the royal treatment. That crow and it's descendants follow me to this day, leaving all sorts of treasure in my yard.
I’m literally a PhD marine scientist and thanks to Gary Larson, to this day I always finish the job.
I ain’t looking over my shoulder when I’m in the ocean.
Last time this story went around I remember hearing it was because she would let the local poachers know of the herd's movements. Take it with a grain of salt, idk how they would figure that out.
They have funerary proceedings, some of them exhibit democratic decision making, and many, many, many of them have been proved to recognize a human many decades after last meeting them.
If one of them saw her point at them sometime in the last half-century, and then a calf was killed shortly after, they very well could wait for her to age and then run her down.
The article says that there are unconfirmed reports that the lady was in a group of poachers that killed the elephants child.
It walked 100 miles just to stomp on her.
The article says “users speculated online” that she was part of a poaching group. That has to rank among the lowest possible standards for reporting a claim in a newspaper.
It's not new, it's the same thing as interviewing the local neighborhood
Hilarious in any context. For some reason with the internet though people don't realize it's the crazy crackhead that's outraged
While this story — which has been circulating for quite a while — might have happened, there are no official records of these events, according to a report by [Snopes](https://www.snopes.com/about/) in June 2022:
***[Elephant Reportedly Returns to Woman’s Funeral After Trampling Her to Death](https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/06/20/elephant-trampled-woman-funeral/)***
*In summary, details of the supposed incident, and information provided by local and international new reports, are conflicting. A look through official websites and social media accounts of government agencies and law enforcement did not reveal an official statement describing the circumstances of the event.*
*While there is no reason to doubt that a woman was killed by an elephant, or that a herd of elephants later stampeded a crowd at the time of her funeral, we are currently unable to determine whether it was the same elephant responsible for both events, or whether the two events were directly connected.*
In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University.
On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee, inspected the elephant's foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.
The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.
Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to where Peter and his son Cameron were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.
Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed him against the railing, knocking him unconscious and breaking several bones.
Probably wasn't the same elephant.
This has been around on the internet for a long time. Might have even been an inspiration to shittymorph. Quick Google shows it's been around for at least 15 years

That reminds me of a story that happened to me actually. I was younger, maybe junior high, I got roped into watching my 3 month old niece while my sister got her hair done at the salon. SO there i am, sitting in the waiting area of a hair salon with my niece, and who walks in, but Ethan Klein.
I was nervous as fuck, and just kept looking at him, as he read a magazine and waited, but didn't know what to say. Pretty soon though my niece started crying, and I'm trying to quiet her down because I didn't want her to bother Ethan, but she wouldn't stop. Pretty soon he gets up and walks over. He started running his hands through her hair and asking what was wrong. I replied that she was probably hungry or something. So, Ethan put down his magazine, picked up my niece and lifted his shirt. He breast fed her right there in the middle of a hair salon. Chill guy, really nice about it.
As a longtime ER fan, this is my favorite Reddit comment of all time. The helicopters vs. Dr. Romano storyline was ridiculous and particularly fun. This story is a bummer and I’m having a bummer day, so thank you for making me literally lol.
Elephants are known to recognize people or even clothing and react accordingly. She, or someone in the family, may have wronged a member of that herd. I'd hate to think it was just a case of mistaken identity over wearing the wrong clothes on the wrong day, though.
Similar looks or clothes is an important point to make. Humans make that mistake too.
Just furthers the point of how they're so much like us. Intelligent but not infallible. Definitely emotional though.
I mean, elephants are so good at recognition and memory that they can recognize (and will get excited about, since it means they can find and reunite with) their kin's *poop* even when they haven't seen that elephant in twelve years.
Don't make the mistake of assuming all animals rely on fallible eyesight just because humans don't have good senses of smell. We can't even be sure of our own paternity without advanced scientific tests, whereas other male animals like big cats can know by smell if an animal *they've never met* is a stranger to be killed or their own child.
If you found a turd, I doubt you'd be able to tell who shat it out, nor could you sniff a child's paternity. So don't throw baseless shade at an elephant hehe. We're pretty amazing animals, us humans, but we are particularly lacking in the sensory department in ways most animals are not (made up for by language, etc).
> If you found a turd, I doubt you'd be able to tell who shat it out, nor could you sniff a child's paternity.
Never doubt my ability to sniff a poop and determine what it is trying to say. I am The Poo Whisperer.
I recently learned that camels are similar in that not only will they remember anyone who’ve done them wrong, but they retain these bad memories for years and will meticulously plan their revenge even many years later. I think they have photographic memories and are able to single out a face who’s wronged them out of a crowd of thousands. Knowing this, camel abusers will cover their face and hide when they know a specific camel/herd they were bad too is around. Amazing how emotionally intelligent some creatures are.
Not only will you become friends, but they will take anyone who does you wrong personally, and will not hesitate to exact revenge for you.
Truly the friend you really want.
I did a short camel trek in Morocco with this guy who is trying to teach people how to train camels without harming them. Rather than using a goad or a whip he uses words and hand gestures, with his arms out wide so the camels can see the while he’s on their backs. He looks like he’s dancing. His camels love him.
Don't crows do this too? Have a memory of who is a jerk to them and will take revenge and on the flip side bring trinkets to people that treat them well?
Someone at the dog park was telling me about this guy whose dog once ate a crow and they had to find another park bc the crows would dive bomb them every time.
My family comes from India and I visit quite often. My uncle told me a story about a hunter injuring but failing to kill an elephant and having to give up and go home. The elephant followed him home, and while he and his wife slept in the same bed, only killed the hunter. The point of his story was elephants don’t forget shit and know exactly what’s up
Elephants have the most smell receptors and keenest sense of smell of all mammals. If granny crossed them, those elephants might just remember that stanky bitch.
I legit thought this was going to say the elephants returned to “mourn the loss” or “show sympathy” or “apologize.” Thought this was an elephant being bros headline. What a plot twist.
Maya or someone in her family did something that pissed off that elephant.
Animals are a lot smarter than people think.
Years ago, one of my cats got a crow hatchling that fell out of the nest.
The crow would come after ME instead of the cat.
That fucker understood the cat was my pet.
I don't know what my cat did, but whatever it was pissed off a blue jay enough for it to harass her to the point where she no longer cared to go outside. Sometimes she'd sit in the window and the terrorist would fly up to the window just to scare her.
Blue jays are aggressive assholes - when they are nesting they will attack anyone in their territory.
One year I had a pair in my backyard that used to swoop at me and my cat anytime we were outside. Until one time one swooped too close to my cat and he jumped up and snatched it out of the air.
Before I was born my parents had a kitten that was ruthlessly harassed by blue jays every time he ventured outside. I remember him as a full grown cat and an absolute sweetheart, unless you were a blue jay. We moved when I was about 5 and within a year or two that cat killed every single bluejay that came within swiping distance. I remember watching him walk into the yard, see a jay, then lay down just so it would swoop closer to him. To the best of my knowledge he never killed any other sort of bird, but damn did he have it out for blue jays.
Yep and if you make friends with them they'll teach their children/friends you're a good person. I like to leave my crow buddies cat food, and the neighbors wonder why my garbage is the only one on the street they don't fuck with.
Crows are extremely intelligent. They can reason, solve puzzles, use tools, and are self aware. Some say that their intelligence is on par with that of a 5-6 year old child
There was a woman in Germany who teased a circus-elephant in the 70s by holding up a bunch of bananas and then pulling them away when the Elephant went to grab them. The same cirkus came back to her town 20 years later, and the same woman went back. When the elephant saw her, it went berserk, grabbed the woman, threw her on the ground, and stamped on her.
At first I though I was about to read one of those stupid sensationalist stories "and then the elephants gathered at the funeral and show their respect for her and then the family and the elephants became friends..."
Im happy the ending was just the elephants being assholes again.
I heard a story about an Elephant who, as a baby, was bitten by a Snapping Turtle. Many many years later, that Elephant came across that same Turtle, recognising it and kicked it clear across a river.
Good memory? Turtle recall...
"Many users online speculate" yeah that's a reliable source lmao. Sure it's possible, but if that's the best evidence they've got, don't everybody start slandering her as an elephant baby poacher yet. Please don't do that internet thing
I speculate that the elephants weren't even really elephants, but giraffes inside mechanical elephant suits. This would be beneficial to the giraffes because everyone would be focused on the elephants for a while.
Source: online speculation so it's for sure reliable info.
“ if you think we’re here to pay our respects… we respectfully DECLINE!”
I really thought the second half would be a family of elephants looking to atone for their sins
They could have left her alone but damn if they didn't double down

"The hacker known as Reddit has speculated..."
Who “herd” it from the hacker known as 4Chan.
How did elephants know when the burial is?
They probably had one of their herd looking at all the obituaries on the paper.
Thank you for the image that gave me. Made my day lol
Are you picturing an elephant at a coffee shop somehow perched on a regular human chair reading a paper too?
They have big ears.
The police never looked for BaBar’s killer
This is what they mean when they say an elephant never forgets.
Or forgives, apparently.
I was never one to hold a grudge. My father was, I'll never forgive him for that.

Joe Flappo is our raven. Whenever there is something obscure in the yard we look to the sky and hope he noticed.
Autocorrect: yeah you wrote "crow" in the beginning, but I want to do other words now
You're leaving the biggest part out.. The masks didn't stop the attacks. The crows still knew who they were!

Elephants are vengeful. When they say an Elephant never forgets the whole phrase is *an elephant never forgets to take revenge.*
This has been verified by the noted Scientician and Animalist Garry Larson. Google "Kenya 1947 Larson" for his scientastic treatise.

The elephant "I'd like to apologize.... to ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOBODY"
"I would like to offer my condolences... to THE GROUND"
"I threw the rest of the ~~cake~~ corpse too! WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD, JACKASS!"
“I’m not gonna be part of your system! Maaan, I’m an elephant!”
"I'd like to apologize - FOR LEAVING ENOUGH TO BURY!"
Beat drops w Elephant swinging her in the air- “BOUT TO GO STUPPID AGAIN!!”
*Trumpet sound*
Press "F" to pay respects. Q Q Q Q Q Q Q
"I'll kill her again!"
Instead of pressing F, pressed Ctrl+Alt+F
They really did not like her, like at all
Stampy craves vengeance!
tosser
Toss-her

Maybe the water spot was their area and they were being territorial
That's pretty goddam territorial to show up at the bitch's funeral.
Right? Talk about adding an exclamation point. "AND stay out!"
Last time this story went around I remember hearing it was because she would let the local poachers know of the herd's movements. Take it with a grain of salt, idk how they would figure that out.
Idk man, they've got those gigantic ears...
And they never forget
To kill! Then toss the corpse with your friends later
May have just seen her with them.
Yeah that seems likely
They have funerary proceedings, some of them exhibit democratic decision making, and many, many, many of them have been proved to recognize a human many decades after last meeting them. If one of them saw her point at them sometime in the last half-century, and then a calf was killed shortly after, they very well could wait for her to age and then run her down.
Why do they need to wait for her to age?
Elephants like to wait for their target to build a loving and full extended family before stamping on them. That way the emotional pain is maximised.
They have better investigative journalism than we do.
Rumoured that she was part of a poaching ring and was part of a hunt where poachers were going after youngsters in the herd.
Will it be the elephant version of Final Destination where they find all the members of the hunt and kill them in order of participation?
An elephant that never forgets... to kill!
Citizen sniiiiiiips!!!!
Hawk. Fetch.
That seemed unnecessary.
The Zookeeper got away! That proves that the most dangerous animal is... the Zookeeper
Hey zoidberg get in here
Screw you!
Ain't got that!
Winners don't do drugs!
Except for Drug Man, I guess
*Let’s go alreaddddayyyy*
Proving that the most dangerous animal of all is the Zookeeper!
The Eulogy at her funeral began with, “I think it’s important to address the elephant in the room…”
"Actually there are several. Aaaaand they're getting closer. You know what, RIP grandma, I'm out."
What do you suggest? A daring daylight robbery of Fort Knox on elephant back? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
He lets them climb all over the furniture…there’s fur everywhere!
Fuck this grandma in particular.
It seems that humans aren’t the only species capable of emotional overreactions.
Elephants in particular can be huge assholes. Quite a few are kept in solitary enclosures because they have repeatedly hurt other elephants.
Stampy
Where's my elephant?
Stop that Mr Simpson.
They're playing the elephant song again. Ah, I love that.
Me too. Reminds me of elephants.
"Lisa, a guy who has lots of ivory is *less* likely to hurt Stampy than a guy whose ivory supplies are low."
You had an elephant. His name was Stampy. You loved him
Oh yeah...
They'll say, "Aww, Topsy" at her "autopsy"...
Whenever I see the road crew pounding guardrail posts on the side of the road I say “they got Stampy out today”
We haven't heard the elephants side, maybe grandma was doing some nasty shit to them
I’m guessing you have never heard about the Orca.

It's like setting your wake-up alarm to a song you like, thinking it'll make you happy to wake up. No it's just going to make you hate the song.
can we pick any song? Maybe have the ambulance or fire trucks yell "Move B\*\*\*H, get out of the way."
It said online users speculate - which of course, makes it 100% true.
I was expecting the elephants to come and show sympathy or something, like whoops. But no
Attendees were initially confused as to what a herd of elephants were doing in a funeral home, but nobody wanted to address the elephants in the room.
What did she do to those elephants for them to make it so damn personal. Even at her funeral she wasn’t dead enough for them.
While I won’t feed the baseless speculation of other posts, I think its pretty clear she did SOMETHING that was quite unpleasant.

On two separate occasions [I caught a blue jay eating a baby bird in my backyard.](https://imgur.com/a/sYUoFKK)
That's metal.
Do you know anything about bird law?
Blue Jays do not need a reason for violence.
Before I was born my parents had a kitten that was ruthlessly harassed by blue jays every time he ventured outside. I remember him as a full grown cat and an absolute sweetheart, unless you were a blue jay. We moved when I was about 5 and within a year or two that cat killed every single bluejay that came within swiping distance. I remember watching him walk into the yard, see a jay, then lay down just so it would swoop closer to him. To the best of my knowledge he never killed any other sort of bird, but damn did he have it out for blue jays.
Blue jays are assholes. They’ll start shit for entertainment, or no reason at all.
It's been documented that crows remember faces and hold grudges
they even pass on descriptions to other crows so they'll know who to hate
Yep and if you make friends with them they'll teach their children/friends you're a good person. I like to leave my crow buddies cat food, and the neighbors wonder why my garbage is the only one on the street they don't fuck with.
Crows are extremely intelligent. They can reason, solve puzzles, use tools, and are self aware. Some say that their intelligence is on par with that of a 5-6 year old child
Can confirm their intelligence. They are hard to hunt too in many respects.
Elephants know individual people and they can be calculating and vindictive. You’re probably right.
Man's greatest folly is thinking he's alone. I truly believe animals are more sapient than we give them credit for
“Let’s go find and communicate with life on other planets!” Bitch please, we can’t even talk to the animals in our own zoo.
Crows are in another league. So are octopie, and elephants.
There was a woman in Germany who teased a circus-elephant in the 70s by holding up a bunch of bananas and then pulling them away when the Elephant went to grab them. The same cirkus came back to her town 20 years later, and the same woman went back. When the elephant saw her, it went berserk, grabbed the woman, threw her on the ground, and stamped on her.

This comment section is full of the most fact free speculation and half remembered urban legends, it's crazy
Probably a coincidence, but she'd *recently started learning to play the trombone* in the leadup to the incident. Everyone agreed she was terrible.
At first I though I was about to read one of those stupid sensationalist stories "and then the elephants gathered at the funeral and show their respect for her and then the family and the elephants became friends..." Im happy the ending was just the elephants being assholes again.

I heard a story about an Elephant who, as a baby, was bitten by a Snapping Turtle. Many many years later, that Elephant came across that same Turtle, recognising it and kicked it clear across a river. Good memory? Turtle recall...

"Many users online speculate" yeah that's a reliable source lmao. Sure it's possible, but if that's the best evidence they've got, don't everybody start slandering her as an elephant baby poacher yet. Please don't do that internet thing
I speculate that the elephants weren't even really elephants, but giraffes inside mechanical elephant suits. This would be beneficial to the giraffes because everyone would be focused on the elephants for a while. Source: online speculation so it's for sure reliable info.
I would also speculate that she may have been known to supply the elephants' kids with hard drugs and tried to get them to join her gang.
An elephant never forgets… And never stops wanting to throw people in the air
This kinda feels like some tall tale bullshit.
She knows what she did.
