Description
Elephants continue to roam across much of Africa, but these magnificent animals remain under severe threat from poaching, habitat loss, and human-wildlife conflict. Elephants have longer pregnancies than almost any other mammal. They carry their calves for 22 months, and cows usually only bear one calf every two to four years.
African elephants are the world's largest land animals. The biggest can be up to 7.5m long, 3.3m high at the shoulder, and 6 tonnes in weight.
The trunk is an extension of the upper lip and nose and is used for communication and handling objects, including food.
The complex social structure of elephants is organized around a system of herds composed of related females and their calves. Males usually live alone but sometimes form small groups with other males.
If the current poaching levels are not checked the elephant populations may not survive 10 years in the wild. Sad but true.

Superior work Anthony, I get the feeling they are looking for relief.
Anthony Mwangi replied:
Thanks Hans, It can get really hot in the Mara during the dry season. I should do one where they are taking a dip in the muddy water to get cool.

The magical world of these ancient elephants is revealed with radiance and power, Anthony.
