African Bush Elephants at Tarangire River During the dry season, this is the only place place in the park for many animals to drink. From our viewpoint we could overlook the giant area as well as several animals drinking there, albeit far away.

      I'm glad you like it, Joost, because later this week I will be posting a mega panorama of this. It's over 30,000 pixels wide and stitched from 15 shots. It is like a giant puzzle where using zooming and panning you can discover many animals in the scene. That is, if the photo does not crash your browser :) Posted 11 years ago

The African bush elephant

The African bush elephant is the larger of the two species of African elephant. Both it and the African forest elephant have usually been classified as a single species, known simply as the African elephant, but recent evidence has seen the forest elephant classified as a distinct species . Some authorities still consider the currently available evidence as insufficient for splitting African elephants into two species.
