Young male elephants, in the same herd, will interact with each other at a relatively early age. As they get older they will play-fight with other young males of a similar age from other families.
They learn their own strength, build knowledge and develop the skills which they will need as mature males. When they reach about 12 to 15 years of age, they will leave the family and drift alone or join other families and later form groups. (Shingwedzi, Kruger National Park, RSA)

Oh for that peace and tranquillity again.
Elephants are sensitive fellow animals where if a baby complains, the entire family will rumble and go over to touch and caress it.
did you ever wonder why elephants are different colors? I is because of the color of the mud they roll in.

An Elephant Hawk Moth (Deilephila elpenor) from a moth trap. Ever since I was a boy I've been fascinated by the incredible colour scheme of these moths. I've been experimenting with different approaches to photographing moths from moth traps. As always, often the simplest methods are best. This was just handheld by holding it up to the sky, and using a twin flash with my concave diffuser designs.
