Elephant touching

Elephants not only use their trunks for eating, smelling and drinking, but also touching each other, especially when young.


This re-enforces the bond between the animals of the herd

This baby is only about 18 months old.

Such a magnificent animal to watch. I miss seeing them at the dam, the bush, and in the side mirror. ;)
