This baby elephant was less than one hour old when photographed. He would stumble around and mama would pick him up by the tai. I watched it take its first meal.
African Elephants enjoy playing as much as any animal. While mud bathing is functional this young bull appeared to be having more fun than seriousness. We had approached him in a small boat. We slowly drifted forward and the elephant seemed to be oblivious to our presence. Capturing the photo was only a matter of timing and holding the frame while the boat pitched about.
