Thank you Adi, Jon, Jeff and Richard. Here is a shot of a bull Elephant standing guard ahead of the herd. He stamped his foot and I did not get any closer. Elephants use their feet to alert other Elephants of a possible danger. Its a useful deterrent when poachers are around. The vibrations from a foot stomp can be heard up to 2 miles away. After taking a few photos, I moved on and left the herd to graze peacefully. It was late afternoon and the sun had started to set. At 7pm, the light fails, when day becomes night.
