This young male elefant came quite close to our car, trying to chase us away by waving its ears and trumpeting loudly.

We saw a wonderful heard of about 18 elephants catching a mud and dust bath. What a pleasure this was :)
Baby elephant with her favourite toy, Whipsnade Zoo. It took her a while to get that ball out of the pond, but she wasn't going to give up.

In the thinning mid-morning mist an elephant walks into a pond for a bath in the hills of Karnataka. Elephants just love to be in water.
The west side of the van is resplendent in its first coat of early BR crimson. It makes an interesting contracts to the adjacent Mk1 BG.

Udawalawe National Park lies on the boundary of Sabaragamuwa and Uva Provinces, in Sri Lanka. The national park was created to provide a sanctuary for wild animals displaced by the construction of the Udawalawe Reservoir on the Walawe River, as well as to protect the catchment of the reservoir. The reserve covers 30,821 hectares (119.00 sq mi) of land area and was established on 30 June 1972. Before the designation of the national park, the area was used for shifting cultivation (chena farming). The farmers were gradually removed once the national park was declared. The park is 165 kilometres (103 mi) from Colombo. Udawalawe is an important habitat for water birds and Sri Lankan Elephants. It is a popular tourist destination and the third most visited park in the country.
Udawalawe is an important habitat for Sri Lankan elephants, which are relatively easy to see in its open habitats. Many elephants are attracted to the park because of the Udawalawe reservoir, with a herd of about 250 believed to be permanently resident. The Udawalawe Elephant Transit Home was established in 1995 for the purpose of looking after abandoned elephant calves within the park. A total of nine calves, on two occasions in 1998 and 2000, with another eight calves in 2002, were released in the park when old enough to fend for themselves.

The morning safari-like trip through the Udawalawe national park was a delight - big mammals, birds, so many things to see and admire - Sri Lanka may be so diverse!
