Ha ha...this photo I must admit is not mine...someone emailed it to me, and I think it really shows the scale of these huge, beautiful mammals. We saw many, many elephants of all sizes in herds, and of course the babies were really cute and very funny.
Often we would see broken tusks, whether that is a result of age, I'm not sure. Elephants with the huge tusks that one would see in photos of the past have unfortunately been virtually bred out of existence due to the greedy demand for large ivories.
