Wellll........I couldn't think of a better title (it's the weather we've been having lately i guess....dull, cloudy and boring). But, yeah, coming back to this one, he was on a rampage at about 10 or 15 feet from our jeep in the forests of Kabini and in this one, he tried to reach out for the bamboo shoot, high up, but couldn't make it in the end.........pretty scary stuff!

Wow, that is amazing, and having been up close and personal with an elephant, I can only imagine how scary that would have been.

Elephants aren't the docile animal we think of them as being. Nice shot.

Yeah! Seconds before I could take this shot, the elephant crossed our jeep.........in front of our wide open eyes and jaws!

Elephants are very dangerous when they "realize" what strength they possess. Other times, they're pretty calm animals.

Great shot though.. nice timing..
