Hello Friends,
I took this photo at Indianapolis Zoo here in Indianapolis,Indiana.
I hope you like this funny action shot:)
Cheers and Have a Great Week,
Chris Tolga

African elephants are the two species of elephants in the Loxodonta genus, one of the two existing genera in Elephantidae. Although it is commonly believed that the genus was named by Georges Cuvier in 1825, Cuvier spelled it Loxodonte. An anonymous author romanized the spelling to Loxodonta and the ICZN recognizes this as the proper authority.

Fossils from Loxodonta have only been found in Africa, where they developed in the middle Pliocene.

Poaching significantly reduced the population of Loxodonta in certain regions during the 20th century. An example of this poaching pressure is in the eastern region of Chad. Elephant herds were substantial in number as recently as 1970 with an estimated population of 300,000; however, by 2006 the number has dwindled to about 10,000. The African elephant nominally has governmental protection, but poaching is still a serious issue.

Excellent shot Chris. I do love the way baby elephants not in the wild seem to adopt a parent figure. Good colour and lovely detail. TFS,
David

Hi Chris,
this is fun, and the little elephant thinks so too. Very nice composition with a funny human/ animal interaction. POV, details and colors are great. I like your floating frame.
