elephants? for real?

a quick question:
why has a story on elephant aggression been one of the top e-mailed stories on the new york times website for the past couple days? do people really care about elephants that much? i mean, i understood that one “shamu saved my marriage” article holding the world record for this because 1. it was short, and 2. it was about people and their emotions … but this is seriously about elephants and poaching and who knows b/c it is too friggin ridiculously long to read. 10 pages! wtf! elephants!
That Shamu story was bullshit, too. I haven’t read this one yet but I heard the author on NPR last week. It didn’t seem particularly compelling.
PS–I watched the pilot of “30 Rock” so I won’t bitch if you write on it.
