Land Rover's a Push-Over
By Sally Wynn

Here's how they found it!

Here's how they found it!

Land Rover tusked!

Land Rover tusked!

Staff of The Zambezi Society, a conservation organisation monitoring black rhinos in the Matusadona National Park, returned from a bush patrol one day recently, and were astonished to find their Land Rover like this!

 

On closer inspection, they discovered it had two enormous elephant tusk-sized holes in its left-hand-side door!  The vehicle had obviously been on the receiving end of the close attentions of a large elephant!   Why the beast took such a dislike to the Land Rover is unclear...  One suggestion is that it was attracted by the smell of some food possibly left behind in the cab...   Hard to say... But Land Rover's rivals in the 4x4 market would surely have something amusing to say about this.
