On saturday afternoon it was raining by the time we entered the forest.. We had entered the B Zone through the last gate almost close to Kerala border..
The moment we entered we saw three elephants two adults and one calf.. we stopped at a fair distance and started clicking images of the elephants.. this guy for some strange reason go agitated making huge trumpet sounds gave a mock charge... knowing its mock charge our driver waited for it come close and move back.
It turned back after the mock charge went back some 30 meters and then turned again towards the jeep curling its trunk at a reasonable pace started moving.. we realized its not a mock charge anymore and moved back to a fair distance to allow its space..
This one this time did not go back but walked across and came towards the side of our jeep at 10 to 15 meter distance and waited for 2 mins then made a serious charge again and chased our jeep for around 30 mtrs.
