Showing them who is boss!

We had a great time watching a very large herd of elephants coming to this waterhole to drink. There must have been about 30 of them. Including small babies. The babies loved the water, rolling around in it, sometimes just a trunk above the water!! By the time this bull elephant arrived, the water was all stirred up, and as they do like clean water to drink, and zebras also like clean water, he told them in no uncertain terms to get out of the way!! They moved very quickly!!
Wow, that's fantastic!

fabulous photo! When we were in Botswana many years ago...our guide told us about one customer who refused to take a photo if there were not at least five species in the lens frame...so I think I can see some animals right in the background..so five species?!

@kiwinanna Yes it certainly is special to see the wild animals
@777margo Thanks Margo
@hrs haha yes - I don't think I would wait for that, so many photos and so many opportunities, but so often saw many different animals together, especially at the water holes.
@robz Thanks Rob, it was fascinating.
@cmsch52 @nickspicsnz Thanks :-)
@hermann Thanks Sally, I agree.
@littleconnie @elkereturns @ziggy77 Thanks so much
@deborah63 I agree, I don't think anything much would faze an elephant, especially a big bull like this one!
@deborah63 oh thank you Debbie :-)
@lynnz @elisasaeter @shepherdmanswife @moonmtn @moviegal1 Thanks so much :-)

What a scene! I love all the different ones that appear in this together. They make for great layers, and it conveys just how large this elephant is!
