Continuing my series of images from our Safari in Tanzania (which included Lake Manyara, The Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater), I present to you my favorite animal in the world (and the last photo is evidence of that).  Elephants are such dynamic creatures.  We were so stunned and awed to have over 50 elephants surround us as we stopped the truck and just watched them watch us.  Nature at its best.

Happy and Hungry and Wholly fed.

 Chillin' with his homie

 Baby and Mama go separate ways (momentarily, Mama hooted and baby followed her, once again).

Laughing man.

Happy baby.

This bull had some sort of prostate problem (constant leakage).  He was hungry but also feeling very defiant.  He faked a couple of charges at our truck, and came right up to the windows.  We just stayed calm, kept the engine turned off and enjoyed his angst-like company.
