African Elephant

Notes:

We drove up on this scene near Nkuhlu in Kruger National Park. This lone bull herded a group of cars around for a while and then headed in our direction. I didn't have time to take photos as I was too busy backing down the road. After almost a half kilometer I was forced to stop because of the traffic behind me. I pulled over as far as I could, turned off the engine and watched without moving a muscle as he walked by our vehicle close enough that my wife could have reached out and touched him. She tells everyone to this day that I purposely stopped so that he would be on her side of the car!
