Elephantine Encounter

Elephantine Encounter
THAI10D-127
November 24, 2010


Today's image is dedicated to my wondrous and brilliant fiancée, Sarah.  From cats to sharks to oriental snakes, she is one of the biggest animal lovers I know with a large heart for all living creatures.  She loved this photograph of this petite pachyderm, and recommended it to be posted.  Thanks darling!

This Asian elephant was found in the jungle of Khao Yai National Park in central Thailand.  He was a young adult by our guide's estimates, basically a teenager, and had no interest in us, but rather chomped on the vegetation as he strolled along.  The monkeys that lined the side of the path annoyed him with their constant chattering, and at one point he turned and trumpeted at them to get away.  They took the hint.  Enjoy.
