The man wanted to take a beautiful photo of a herd of elephants, but did not calculate the animals' reaction.
The incident occurred in the Pilanesberg Game Reserve in the Republic of South Africa (RSA).
A 43-year-old Spaniard, Carlos Luna, his fiancée and two other friends came here on an excursion, writes the Daily Mail .
During the trip, he noticed a herd of elephants. Carlos got out of the car to take a photo. His companions tried to dissuade the man, but he did not listen.
The Spaniard came too close. At that moment, the large female thought that Carlos wanted to harm her cubs.
The animal rushed at the man. He tried to run away, but the elephant and two other elephants caught up with him and literally trampled him into the ground in front of the Spaniard's bride and friends.
After what they saw, the tourists needed psychological help.
