Description

The African Elephant (Loxodonta africana) is the largest of the land mammals. They favor areas of wooded savannah and young forests, with the females and calves living in herds of about 10-20 animals. This Elephant was part of a herd that slowly crossed a dirt road in Tarangire National Park, Tanzania on 1-10-2016, while we watched in amazement. The red color on the Elephant is from the red mud that it rolled in. I used a Nikon D810 camera body and a Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR lens to capture this image.

I am honored that my photograph was featured in the Fine Art America groups:
