Elephants, wherever you encounter them, are wild animals. Close, unsupervised contact with any elephant should never be initiated. Do not climb into enclosures; do not get out of vehicles. Do not tailgate an elephant. Think of how you might behave if a stranger suddenly appeared in your living room. Or materialized out of a solid object. Think of how you would react to a dog nattering at your heels. Respect these great gray beings and they will respect you.
He is magnificent! I just want to reach out and stroke that lovely face…ahhh….
From this view you get a real sense of the substance, power and strength of this elephant. So solid, so big.
Thanks! I love this view of Jabu too.
