The unique combination of huge ears for cooling, a long multi-purposes-nose and tough ivory-tusks make Elephants incredible versatile to deal with their environment. This is one of my favorite Elephant images showing off these three feature!

Yesterday evening we had a beautiful Elephant sighting at sunset. This young bull was posing close to the vehicle for a iPhone picture! The herd was all around grazing and browsing peacefully.

An Elephant’s trunk contains approx 40,000 muscles. The whole human body has 639. It is any incredible flexible tool, used like a syringe to transfer water into the mouth, used to tear off grass with its prehensile lips, used to break off branches from trees, used to throw dust and mud on the Elephant’s body, …

Act 1
A herd of Cape Buffalo arrives at a waterhole and the mud-bathing Elephants get so alarmed that they run from the water protecting their young.
Act 2
The Elephants realize that the new arrivals are no real threat but are rather small ‘cow-like’ things. So some of them return to the water and chase the Buffalo around.
Act 3
While the Elephants and Buffalo run around a group of Nyala, a family of Warthogs and many different birds arrive to get their share of the water.
Act 4
Only two Elephant bulls remain to suck the pipe which supplies fresh water to the waterhole. Everything has calmed down and all the different species share the place!
