hahaha, my female dog does this to my female cat... a show of dominance. Not sure if it is the same for elephants though.

Wonderful shot showing us the "other" side of life.

I think this is cute. It looks like the baby just wants to play and his face even looks happy. I like seeing mama in the background too with her tusks. This must be so fun to see in person.

This made me smile, a great story telling of how kids copy parents some times not in the right way, has very good details and textures in the skin, very good eye contact, nice colors, a pleasure to look at, thank you for sharing, dale

Comment from Daphne Oberon
Great photo showing the flexibility of the seemingly ungainly elephant form. The boy's leg looks like it is made of rubber with no joints; the girl's legs look so flexible too! Then of course not forget the very flexible trunk.... A special photo, thanks for sharing! Daphne Oberon
