2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

African Elephant, Kings Pool, Botswana
Portrait of a Mother

Species: African Elephant | Location: Kings Pool, Botswana

There's no comparable feeling as when you lock eyes with one of the most magical creatures on earth. In the sweltering heat of October in Botswana's Kings Pool, I was lucky enough to lock eyes and souls with this beautiful mother. Thank you to this gorgeous elephant for taking the time to say hello in her unique and precious way.
