A German hunter shot dead an elephant that’s believed to be among the biggest killed in Africa in almost three decades, the Telegraph reported.
The hunter killed the pachyderm, thought to be 40 to 60 years old, on Oct. 8 during a 21-day hunting trip in a private hunting concession bordering the Gonarezhou National Park in southern Zimbabwe, the London-based Telegraph reported. He paid $60,000 for a permit to shoot a large bull elephant. The newspaper didn’t identify him.
