Pals stick together — even in the wild kingdom.

A big-game hunter who killed a leopard hours earlier was reportedly crushed to death by an elephant during a safari in Zim­babwe, a report said.

Ian Gibson was taking a break when the bull elephant quickly turned and charged toward him, according to The Telegraph.

“Karma is a bitch,” tweeted ­Peter McGlashan. “Maybe the elephant that killed him was a friend of the leopard he’d killed earlier in the day.”
