Description
OK, kids, out of the water! Follow Dad back and only eat what you see him or me eating! It looks as if this pachyderm papa is leading mama and 2 younger elephants back into the South African foliage from the river bank. After their refreshing bath and a long, cool drink, you can still see the water line on their hide.

Such an endearing and adorable capture, Barbie! Elephants are truly remarkable and highly intelligent creatures, and it's awesome seeing them support each other in this family unit that you have presented and described so beautifully, with a touch of humor. What an incredible experience this must have been, seeing this wildlife in person. As always, outstanding work! F/L

Love your description Barbie...what a precious scene! Elephants are incredibly powerful animals and people do not realize how smart and amazing they really are. Fantastic capture of this elephant family. I love how you were able to capture the Dad up front with the others right behind. The sky and African foliage make for a beautiful landscape. Beautifully captured. L/Tweeted.
