African Elephant
2010.07.05
Here he was fanning his ears. The large amount of blood that flows through he ears is cool by the air and helps to cool his body.

|
He creates a turbulence with his trunk and legs.
|
Notice the muddy water shooting from his trunk. Enlarge to get a better view.
|
My... what big ears you have!
|
My... what big everything you have!

This was a good day and time to be at the zoo. It was HOT and I was able to catch an elephant covering himself with mud to avoid burning in the sun.

I noticed that some of these didn't transfer with the best results. I don't know why, but I don't have time now to remedy. I'm off to work! Maybe a fix up in the morning.

These look great to me, Ray. You caught him doing his regular activities - and the clarity of the skin in the last shot is amazing! Neat set!

Love it. Nice set. Male is solitary, but female suffers the solitude because they live in a large family. I always have in my eyes the image of the sad elephant seen at the zoo in Provence... and after a time they are moved from zoo to zoo... I hate it. Sorry, I have sad feelings every time I see animals in cage or in a zoo, even worst when they are obliged to work in a circus (I like circus without animals, I never go and see the one with animals indeed)
