Elephantidae

Good action capture of the elephant taking a dirt bath. It may just be me but I look at this elephants eyes and I see sadness, I truly do. Kept in the confines of a zoo, the average elephant travels 15 miles a day, here she can not. Elephants are social animals, she has no inter action, the thirst for survival is not in her blood, she gets fed at the same time every day, eating the same thing.

Ok I am off my high horse, thank you.

a perfect capture of an elusive moment.

tony brandstetter, I understand you, I have always very mixed feelings when I am in a zoo. For sure it is not natural..... The daughter of my love, she is 17 did answer on a question of her father what kind of animal she did like the most to look at, her answer was: humans
