Description
This photograph shows a young elephant bull's perspective from a car. Despite being a huge animal it moves quietly and no crackling sound escapes from underneath their feet. They also have unique footprints.
An elephant is the largest land animal and can weigh as much as 100 full-grown men. It can turn off it's stomach's growling digestive noises when danger lurks. These noises can be heard as far as 200m (600ft)! Yes, your tummy will also make such noises if you try and eat 350kg (770lbs) of food per day! Talk about greedy! *LOL*
An elephant can live up to 70 years.
Be sure to look at my previous pic posted regarding elephant culling, titled "Africa
- the hunter".
Thank you for taking time to look at this series. Feel free to make comments & recommendations.

What a massive pachyderm! He's so towering! Apparently, he can violate any laws of the road with complete impunity. Who's going to argue? Anyway, nice composition and capture of the trunk texture.
