Killer Elephants

Killer Elephants shows the slaughtered carcasses of young bull rhinoceros on an African Wildlife Preserve. Upon conducting an investigation into the cause of these deaths, the initial understanding was that they were caused by poachers interested in cashing in on the valuable ivory tusks of the rhinos. Yet, as carcasses were autopsied, it was obvious that the tusks remained intact and death was caused by catastrophic brutal force. Upon completion of the investigation, it was clearly determined that the deaths of these young, healthy and vibrant rhinos were caused by young bull Elephants whom had been displaced from their herds to the African Wildlife Preserve. Being social by nature, the young bull elephants developed a profoundly deep internal rage that vented through the intensely aggressive killing of the bull rhinoceros on the preserve although there was never an issue of the shortage of food or a competition for sustenance.
