The rogue elephant of Aberdare Forest was a bull African Bush Elephant which terrorized several villages in the vicinity of the Aberdare Range in British East Africa in the early 20th century, destroying crops and killing at least one person. The bull was reportedly so cunning, that it never struck the same village twice. It was killed by J. A. Hunter. The exact date of the event is not known, though it was published by HarperCollins in 1952 as part of Hunter's Hunter memoirs.The elephant first came to Hunter s attention when the animal attacked two men in a nearby village one evening and killed one of them. It was thought that the man s red cloak was what incited the elephant to chase him. Runners from the village found Hunter in the Aberdare forest hunting for bongo with two Canadian sportsmen. Being a friend of the village chief Ngiri, Hunter accepted to hunt down the elephant after being given permission by the Canadian sportsmen.
