By Dana Kennedy - AOL NewsZimbabwe's premier conservationist, a 62-year-old man who says he's endured assassination attempts for trying to preserve wildlife in one of Africa's poorest and most repressive countries, can't watch the video showing Bob Parsons, the billionaire CEO of GoDaddy.com, shooting and killing an elephant.

No Dumbos: Elephants Learn Cooperation, Study Finds
By Traci Watson - AOL NewsA new study shows that elephants have a talent that even many humans lack: Pachyderms can learn cooperation.

By Ben Muessig - AOL News(Aug. 18) -- It's a zoo out there, judging by the wild photos of animals that AOL Weird News has in its archives. From adorable baby elephants to creepy, but still kind of cute, two-headed snakes, animals certainly get lots of news coverage. Especially when they do wacky things.

By Marc Hartzman - AOL News(July 2) -- On the Fourth of July, Nathan's Famous will host its annual hot dog eating contest at Coney Island in New York. But earlier today, three of the Major League Eating competitors faced a bigger challenge than anything they'll see Sunday. And by big, I mean Asian elephant big. As part of the celebration of P.T.
