| Notes: |
|
Some interesting behaviour here. Photo 1 - a small family group relaxes in the Savuti River, unaware that two of us, fishing from a small boat, are drifting down towards them. Photo 2 - the largest elephant (matriarch?) becomes aware that all is not well. Her tail swings horizontally up, signalling a mood change. Photo 3 - Tail still out to the left, she whirls to confront us. |
