Elephants and Hippos from Zambia, Zimbabwe

Led by a female, they walk for hours to get water
a right handed elephant with shorter right tusk
We saw him again at sunrise raising his trunk
This elephant with leggings...
convinced his young brother to swim across the Zambese river
and they start the 1 km. long crossing
the trunk above the water to breath...
They arrive at suset
not afraid of people, he walks to our tent!
they are very protective of their babies
particularly when they drink
they have long eyebrows
and breasts of human size
and can reach high branches
They share the river with hippos
who try to intimidate us in the boat
..even by a beautiful sunset
