TITLE: Close Call

STORY: British and US couples survive after elephant flips safari canoes and strikes woman with its trunk. Tourists were being poled “gondola style” through the shallow waters of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. Their guides steered too close to a female elephant with two calves. The elephant attacked, pulling one woman underwater. She is believed to have survived only because the elephant lost her in the murky water. The animal stopped the attack after about 10 seconds.
