Come here you little....! At the river bank of Tarangire, Tanzania a large elephant bull chases a youngster (right). I decided to not crop out the outer left baby elephant because it simply is too cute.

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.
