So cute....They have to really love those babies for as long as they have to carry them. Great capture, Kate! #1603694

Kate Jackson July 17, 2005

Thanks so much everyone. I guess I should have explained though that this baby didn't belong to the other two who were amongst a group of male elephants we were watching. All of a sudden from the bush two little babies came rushing ahead of the long line of their herd which ended with the matriarch. They rushed right up to the water and ~ remarkably ~ the males moved to let them in. #1603731
