Splendid record of the art of drinking water by the elephant. It is drinking by sucking water up its trunk and is going to squirting it down its throat. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

This waterhole is one of the favourites for the elephants. Wish the elephant was facing towards you. Good to know you had a tiger sighting as well. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Liked the drinking pose. The leaves in the pond looks nice. Good details and nice composition. Thanks for sharing.
