Loxodonta africana
Female elephant in Serengeti NP in Tanzania
African savannas.
This elephant mother was getting a little perturbed by me being so close to her calf. Her estimated weight: about 5 tons. Her calf is standing behind her (lower left corner of photo.) Deciding they deserved a little privacy, I left the scene soon after the pic was taken..
