ANGRY ELEPHANT

Elephants are the world's largest vegetarians. They don't attack any animal for food—yet food is at the root of many elephant conflicts.

An adult elephant may eat over 400 pounds (180 kilograms) a day. A herd can consume an entire field in one night. Fences and other deterrents are often useless against hungry herds.
Not only can elephants grow as large as about 13 feet (4 meters) tall and weigh as much as about 6 tons, but they can run 25 to 30 miles an hour (40 to 48 kilometers an hour).

Yet despite their size, intelligence, and speed, elephants fare worse in human-elephant confrontations. According to the Elephant Rage documentary, perhaps a thousand elephants are killed each year for their ivory or food, or because they have become a danger to humans living around them.
