Have seen this same scene at the Masai Mara. Elephants are amazing creatures. So family oriented, and protective of one another -- much like people in that way. Very nicely captured here.

Great shot of the protection and love an elephant mother has for her baby. Another one in the long line of outstanding photos you post. For me they are all like once in a lifetime shots and I admire you for shooting them so regularly. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Hi, Paulo, Just catching up with your photoblog. Stunning shots which I am sure gave you an unforgettable experience. This shot of mummy elephant and her baby is my favourite because you have captured a heart warming moment. And the 'wrinkles' on her skin are a reflection of the wisdom she has gained through the years which add character and beauty to her whole being.
