A warthog took a wrong turn in the Addo elephant park in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa when he crossed the path of a hungry lion. The park was founded in 1931 to provide sanctuary for the last remaining elephants in the area. It now provides a home for at least 450, as well as many other animals
