Elephants are such majestic giants that roam the plains of the Serengeti.  They seem to move at a slow lumbering pace, but can really move if they are angry or frightened. They show deep bonds between a family and have the ability to be incredibly gentle and delicate while in the blink of an eye they can overturn a truck.  Incredible animals.  I wish humans would stop killing them.

These two young elephants met up in the midst of the herd and pretty much “shook trunks” like we would shake hands. Sad to think of the likelihood of one or both of these being killed later in life, simply for their tusks. My deep thanks goes out to all that work to ensure these two and all the animals have a chance to live and die on nature’s terms, not mankind’s. ❤️
