And the Dad of the Year Award goes to...
A 25 year old man, holding his 2 year old daughter, entered the elephant habitat at the San Diego Zoo to take a selfie with the African bull elephant behind him. You may have to read that again, but it's true.
Jose Manuel Navarrete is being held on $100,000 bail for investigation of child endangerment after this idiotic stunt. He stands cradling his daughter with his back to the elephant, the crowd screams, "Watch out!" as the elephant charges. The flustered Dad actually drops the girl before scooping her back up and scrambling to safety.
The crying girl went home with her mother while Dad went to jail. He's scheduled to be arraigned March 30th. Look how close this came to being a tragedy. What an idiot!!!
