This elephant did a power display to get rid of a white rhino that was making mock charges at him. The rhino and her calf were not very keen to share the area with the elephant but took of into the bush right after this display.
The ears flapping against the head sounds like gunshots!

This is one of Namibia's legendary Desert Elephants, who we had tracked to some brush beside a dried up river bed. A tough 3+ hour tracking drive, including a flat tire, and a lesson in why it's a good idea to have a guide. We would never have found this herd on our own. We had a picnic while we watched them browse, although I think this guy had his eye on my sandwich!
Sincere apologies, I think I caused a bit of confusion this morning, I uploaded a bunch of old shots in high resolution for Flickr Marketplace, and was a bit slow marking some of them private. So many thanks for the faves and comments, they are much appreciated, but I turned off public access because the un-watermarked, high rez shots have a habit of being stolen. All of the shots are available in my port, just a bit smaller :-)

Damaraland was a name given to the north-central part of what later became Namibia, inhabited by the Damaras. It was bounded roughly by Ovamboland in the north, the Namib Desert in the west, the Kalahari Desert in the east, and Windhoek in the south.Damaraland is famous for its wildlife, especially the desert elephant. The desert elephants, though belonging to the same species as the other African elephants, have admirably adapted themselves to the harsh conditions of the desert around them.. They can go without water for three or four days at a stretch, and often walk 30 to 40 kms to find water. They get moisture from eating leaves and barks of the trees. Please see the other two photographs of the elephants in the comment column just below the main picture. Thank you.
