Appropriate to the title, I think I should start with a first batch of ellies

Sundowner at Ngulube Loop waterhole

- Elephants of all sizes, quite a few and well spread out around the waterhole too.

Very good pics, Mello!

I like this one, showing the retractability of the trunk!

Perhaps Dewi and I should discuss this phenomenon!?

Did you know that an Elephant has 40,000 muscles in it's trunk which are divided into around 150,000 individual units.

No wonder they are so flexible.

It is indeed! But hard work getting a halfway decent shot of it... most of the time it was well hidden between the adults.

There were quite a few small ones around, but this must have been one of the smallest we saw.
Only one smaller one, but that one was always between some other legs and I never managed to get it.
