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

Sundowner at Ngulube Loop waterhole O:V - Elephants of all sizes, quite a few and well spread out around the waterhole too.

Stunning pics with lot's of interesting behaviour Mel. \O ^Q^ O/\

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

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. :O^

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. :no:
