~ The small elephant family group which we encountered in the wooded bush near the Ewaso Nyiro River on the Buffalo Springs side had a small number of tuskless baby elephants. The Samburu area appears to have high elephant fertility as very small elephants are readily observed in the various family groups present in the area. These baby pachyderms were inquisitive, exercising limited independence from their nearby mothers to explore the bushes on their own, running in starts, poking their heads and trunks here and there to see what they might discover.
