We had been following an Elephant family known as the IAC group on the lakebed, when one of the matriarchs moved off with two of her younger calves in tow. I waited patiently as they looked at me & I was observing them. They gradually huddled closer together in protecting the youngest calf & I love how the older calf rested his truck on the younger one in a reassuring gesture. It was a peaceful & emotional moment in the company of these magnificent animals.
