Met up with this elephant bull relaxing in the shade.
Watching him and how he behaves in close proximity to the car was an experience
to remember.
Sitting this close to a bull elephant albeit in the illusory
safety of the car was a heart pounding experience. I have found that elephants
are very good communicators and if you are able to tune to them and their body
language and moods you can ‘see’ their thoughts. It is not a sure fire thing
and they are as diverse as human beings can be in a given situation but they at
least make it very clear what they are thinking most of the time.
I love the experience of being close to an animal. As others
will undoubtedly agree it is not the time to take a photograph but rather to
just relax and enjoy the presence of a wild creature who has condescended to
allow you to enter his or her personal space and is comfortable with your
presence.
My favourite creature to encounter in the wild is an
elephant bull at close quarters and just chat him up and spend the time of day,
not to forget moving along before he has to remind you to do so.
