Juvenile Jousting--Elephants of Kabini

[Shyamala Kumar]

Nikon 7100+150-600 ISO 1600 1/100s F/8 Late evening in May 2015 we came across a pair of juveniles testing their strength on the rivers edge in Kabini.

Nice jostling pose so beautifully captured. I do not know whether the juvenile on the right has tusks or not, no worry at all - Mucknas normally are more muscular! Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild

Beautiful pose. Great sighting. A bit more brightness would be better. How long did this last? I must have been a worthwhile experience to watch it. I can never tire watching elephants. Thanks for sharing this. Look forward to more from this series. I too would love to know whether the one on the right is a tusker or not.
Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Watching two adolescent elephants jostling in water is a treat to watch. The light was low, but you got it nicely. How long did it last? Thanks for sharing.
