Hunter trampled to death by elephant he was trying to shoot in Namibia wildlife area
An elephant trampled and killed an Argentinian hunter who was in a group tracking a herd, according to Namibian media.
The Namibia Press Agency said the hunter, identified as 46-year-old Jose Monzalvez, was killed on Saturday afternoon in a private wildlife area 70 kilometres northwest of the small town of Kalkfeld.
The agency said Monzalvez, who worked for an oil company, was with another Argentine and three Namibians when he was killed.
It says one of the elephants charged before the group was able to find a spot to aim and shoot.
The report says Monzalvez had a hunting permit with him and that relatives have been informed of his death.
