Elephant bull has joined breeding herd


Rainy morning in Addo elephant Park: We come across a large breeding herd with several claves and teen bulls when we realize the adult bull amongst the ladies and youngs he shows some interest in the most pretty cow and the youngsters start fighting





Cows & calves






Bull & Cow




Bull reaching his trunk over female's back - prelude to mounting?




The cow walking away - the bull urinating with exitement




And then .... two youngsters having a fight in the middle of the road - we can not pass










... meanwhile, the bull and the cow are in the spekboom thicket and one can not see anything
