In its own habitat, the African Elephant is perhaps the most revered beast in the kingdom. It is also known for its massive elegance and gentle nature. Looming in the mist, the egrets give scale to this giant. Viewed as an endangered species, the elephant is hunted mercilessly by poachers for the ivory tusks.
