A British woman and another from New Zealand have been killed by an elephant during a walking safari in Zambia.
The animal was wounded by gunshots as guides tried to stop it charging but both victims died at the scene.
Police said the animal was with its calf and ran at the women in South Luangwa National Park. They were reportedly attacked from behind.
Local authorities named the Briton as Easton Janet Taylor, 68, and the other woman as Alison Jean Taylor, 67.
A Foreign Office spokesperson said: "We are supporting the family of a British woman who has died in Zambia and are in contact with the local authorities."
Female elephants can respond aggressively if they think there is a threat when they are with their young.
