 Here is part of the elephant herd that we sat with today. |
 A baby elephant eating. |
 Who is the matriarch of the herd? How many hours does an elephant sleep in a day? Don't know? Better check "Animal Facts!" |
 Protecting her baby. |
 This is my favorite elephant photograph. |
 How many pounds of vegetation does an elephant eat in a day? |
 Where are the males? What is "green penis syndrome?" What?! Check out "Animal Facts." |
 Elephants are almost human in complexity. Click on "Animal Facts" for examples. |
 Jeff with the elephants. See how close we are? |
 This was going to be our 2002 Xmas picture but Jeff has an elephant butt coming out of his ear and I don't look so hot. |
 Do you know how to tell the difference between a male and female by looking at their horns? Better learn on "Animal Facts." |
 A waterbuck. The males live away from the herd. They have a plant diet of grasses, reeds, and brushes that is unpalatable to other herbivores. They chew their cud. |
 A herd of African buffalo. They can be very dangerous, and one is even reputed to have tossed a Land Rover! |
 Here we are being sniffed. Buffalo have a keen sense of smell. Sniff, sniff! |
