Tuskers in mock fight

[Mrudul Godbole]

This was photographed in Kaziranga. We saw this two adolescent males doing a mock fight. I wanted to avoid the tree on the right, so waited for a while for them to move more to the left. They soon moved away from the tree but walked away from us, so couldn't get a better moment than this.

Nice behavior captured. The space around them really talks about the habitat in Kaziranga. I wished that the tree on the right didn't come in the way. Thanks for sharing :)

The young male in the left looks 'Very very pleased' with the feeling of 'Touch'. The gesture of the right one, the way it is holding his head and trunk, is expressive of its deep 'emotional state'. Two different moods so nicely documented one frame in the wonderland called 'Kaziranga'.

This was a nice moment. These two were moving away and then came closer and crossed the road. I was surprised to see the fear in the eye while crossing the road.

These two appeared to have moved away from the herd and striked an alliance between themselves till they grow up further and move apart.

Beautiful moment of bonding captured! The body language of both elephants is expressive of deep emotional attachment and this has been captured by your lens .TFS
