    Notice how they STILL at all times, 24/7, keep the little ones literally BOXED IN by the big ones for protection. My god they are AMAZING CREATURES. Humans don't even come close. They are SO MUCH better than we are.

    How refreshing. Just the sounds of the bush; no blaring music. This allows one to realise just how quietly a herd of elephants move.

      I don't think there's much danger from tourists in shiny little cars. Poachers would be black guys and they would be looking a lot less friendly than the tourist types. I doubt if they go up like that to a banged-up truck full of tough-looking Africans with AK-47s...

      That's just what I can find in Africa. Others places have different races poaching. I hate to shatter your reality but all kinds of people comment crimes. Also there's others that live in Africa too. I have a white friend from Africa. No he didn't move there he's lived there his whole life.

    The gentle movement of the 🐘🐘s as they approach, surround, peer in and amble off is extraordinary. How vital are the reserves, parks, sanctuaries, etc so that these herds and, yes, these moments with them might stay protected.

      They know what people smell like. In the wildlife parks, the elephants tend to even recognize the guides who work there. But maybe they are curious about the vehicles because they are so strange. They're not alive, but they sort of act alive. Machines are not something wild animals are equipped to comprehend.
