Elephant, (family Elephantidae), largest living land animal, characterized by its long trunk (elongated upper lip and nose), columnar legs, and huge head with temporal glands and wide, flat ears. Elephants are grayish to brown in colour, and their body hair is sparse and coarse. They are found most often in savannas, grasslands, and forests but occupy a wide range of habitats, including deserts, swamps, and highlands in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and Asia.
The African savanna, or bush, elephant (Loxodonta africana) weighs up to 8,000 kg (9 tons) and stands 3 to 4 metres (10 to 13 feet) at the shoulder. The African forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis), which lives in rainforests, was recognized as a separate species in 2000 and is smaller than the savanna elephant. It has slender, downward-pointing tusks. The common belief that there existed “pygmy” and “water” elephants has no basis; they are probably varieties of the African forest elephants.

They recognize one another after years and years of separation and greet each other with wild, boisterous joy. There's bellowing and trumpeting, ear flapping and rubbing, with trunks entwined.

Taken Addo Elephant National Park, Eastern Cape, South Africa.
Addo Elephant National Park is a diverse wildlife conservation park situated close to Port Elizabeth in South Africa and is one of the country's 20 national parks. It currently ranks third in size after Kruger National Park and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. I spent four consecutive days within the park which provided an amazing variety of wildlife.

"The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book?"

Let's hope not.
"It's nice to have an elephant in the room. There's nothing more helpful than something everybody's thinking about."

I'm not very confident with my ID on this little plover and a correction will be welcome.
This post continues my west coast archive dive. We found this little guy/gal on the same beach as some elephant seals in Point Reyes National Seashore.
Grabbed a shot of our elephant ear plant shortly after a nice, gentle round of rain that helped it to green up.

With the water being low in the Sand River, elephants feed on the grasses in the middle of the river and then cross over to the other side to continue on their journey.

African elephants are under the risk of extinction because of poaching and the illegal trade in ivory. This elephant in South Luangwa National Park has no tusks - a genetic deviation that is quite common among female African elephants. It doesn't seem to hinder her, and at least she will never be poached for her ivory!
