Out of the Jurisdiction: Baby Elephant

We were fortunate to see scores of elephants, including this photogenic baby elephant, during twice-daily game drives at the Motswari Game Preserve.

Motswari is part of the Timbavati Game Preserve, a group of private preserves adjoining the Kruger National Park.  The land owners in Timbavati have removed their fences so game can roam more freely over a much larger territory.

  2. This is a great photo. Photos like these make one wonder how people could continue to shoot elephants, as some people do.
