The Boy and The Giant (Editing)

Natural Giants?

After discovering Tall-A is from Africa and hunted elephants with other giants like him. I was more determined then ever to see if I could find out more about his kind.

Who could of known that there were another type of human race living in the plains of Africa all this time.

On my computer, I typed in the search bar, 'giants in Africa.' Hoping that it would give me something. Nothing usual popped up, just giant skeletons found all over the world.

I just needed a little info about the giants. I scrolled down, seeing more similar links, like the first one. Going all the way to the bottom of the page, an interesting link met my eyes. It was called, 'African Elephant Hunters.' Knowing I could probably get something from this, I doubled clicked the link.

When the little loading bar made it across the screen, the first thing that popped up was an dead elephant carcass. It was literally skinned to the bone, no type of flesh was left on it. Talk about extreme skinning of an elephant.

Underneath the picture, was a couple of words. I scrolled a little further, revealing an article.

Under great concern of the earth's largest land mammal. We attend to stop these killings. Now what your probably thinking is, 'oh, the elephant was old and when it died, some scavengers picked it clean.' That is where your wrong, we examined this particular elephant and saw that no animal has ever even eaten this animal. If it were lions, we'd see bite marks, same for hyenas or any other predatory animal. Not only that but all of these bones are still connected with each other, if we know hyenas, they usually eat just about everything of animal no matter the size, even the teeth. We can safely assume that this elephant was killed by a human, a human that thinks it is fun to kill elephants and skin them. We could blame poachers, though mostly everyone knows poachers only kill elephants for tusk. This animals tusk were still intact.

Now normally, we, the rangers wouldn't throw to much attention into this. We think that tribes were just killing elephants for meat. It soon got a little out of hand when these carcasses kept popping all over the place.
