Close encounter

I'd kill to see an elephant herd. (That may be a little dramatic), but YEAH what MD said.

I also may be far from OK.

Here you go, Craig... this is part of a herd crossing a road. Notice how the baby struggled to get up the banking... in the end it had to have a nudge from the trunk of one of the larger beasts as it passed by, before it could continue on its way.

Baby struggling...

Baby exhausted...

Baby finally on its way...

Fascinating creatures!!! The animals of the jungle are so far away (in miles) that they never cease to amaze me. I will get back to you on the video (my dial-up is kind of slow). I am sure it will be spectacular.
