A: Hey, did you hear something sad on the news?

B: No! What’s up?

A: There was an accident at Khao Yai National Park. It's a bit scary.

B: Oh no! What happened?

A: An elephant… it attacked a man. He died. It's really terrible.

B: Wow, that’s awful! Is this a common thing?

A: Sadly, it’s the third time something like this has happened with that same elephant, apparently.

B: Seriously? That’s frightening! Who was the man?

A: He was a Thai man, in his 60s. He was just exercising near his tent.

B: Poor guy! Khao Yai is so beautiful, isn't it? So many animals!

A: Exactly! It's a World Heritage site. Lots of people visit.

B: So, why did the elephant attack? Is it the season?

A: Yeah, it's the dry season. Elephants are searching for food and water. They come closer to people.

B: That makes sense. Is this happening a lot?

A: Apparently, over 200 people have been killed by wild elephants since 2012.

B: That's... a lot. Are there more elephants now?

A: Yes! They've been working to protect them for a long time, so the elephant population is growing.

B: Wow. I guess we need to be extra careful when we visit national parks then.

A: Definitely! It’s a reminder to be respectful of wildlife.
