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 really should take more care with is morning grooming 😉

I like how observant you are 🙂 most people look at something and just get ‘oh look an elephant’. I like how you notice the rebel strands of hair here and there. What an awesome picture as well.
Thank you very much.
Just beautiful. I could not believe how bristly their hair can be. I had the opportunity to play with a baby when I was 17. He loved having his head scratched.
It’s amazing how elephants are much like humans, isn’t it?
It is. That baby was very playful. She grabbed my leg with her trunk wanting to pull me around. As I pushed myself away from her, hands on her head, she played tug of war with me and then let go with me ending up on my butt and laughing!
