Unusual/Kabini

[Praveen Siddannavar]

A very touching moment this, from the recent trip to Kabini. A tight frame becoz of the monster lens, this is the best I could do to get mother, calf and Myna's in frame.

Expert comments appreciated on this behavior...

A tender moment. Often the small calves are clumsy in their movements. Earlier people used to believe that elephant calves suckle with their trunk, which is not true, and rightly proved here.

Cheers,

A rare sighting. Its good you sighted it in the open. The pose of the calf shows the behavior nicely. Good details. Maybe increasing the contrast sightly would be good. Thanks for sharing.
