I want to be FREEEE.....!!!

One of the elephants in Guruvayur Devaswom Elephant Sanctuary seems to thunder for freedom !

 

( The male elephant is probably in heat - 'musth' they call it here. At the time of heats a hormonal secretion can be seen near the elephant's ears and the animal becomes uncontrollable necessitating it to be chained ! I have waited for a while to take this snap for the elephant to trumpet ! Calling for a mate may be !! )

 

- Explored !
