~ The elephants we observed in Meru National Park were neither shy nor aggressive. They weren't numerous, neither were they scarce. When they appeared, they were typically active, rather than standing together under a shade tree. An especial large tusker passed by trees filled with abandoned weaver nests. Almost immediately after we encountered a lone female with her petite newborn remaining near her feet. Despite the shrubbery foliage in the images, they convey the quiet, low disturbance approach which Anthony and I prefer. As ever, a baby elephant is cause for a photo stop...and a smile.
