  1. Great shot. Despite their size, they can be quite stealthy around the bushes. I see it has a passenger as well :) Posted 8 years ago
  2. I did not even see the little passenger! Beautiful shot. Posted 8 years ago

The Indian Elephant is one of three recognized subspecies of the Asian elephant, and native to mainland Asia. Since 1986, "Elephas maximus" has been listed as endangered by IUCN as the population has declined by at least 50% over the last three generations, estimated to be 60–75 years. The species is pre-eminently threatened by habitat loss, degradation and fragmentation.
