African bush elephants hold the savanna: a tusked bull crossing open ground in dust with oxpeckers riding his back, an old matriarch with worn tusks and torn ears standing clear of her herd, two young bulls sparring with trunks entwined, and one animal throwing red earth over its own back. Water runs through the whole set – a herd wading a shallow river with egrets lifting ahead, elephants swimming a deep channel with only trunks and foreheads above the surface while hippos watch, a bull drinking under hanging weaver nests. Asian elephants take the forest and the swamp grass, small eared and often tuskless, a calf pressed against her flank. African forest elephants, straight tusked and compact, stand at a mineral pool with butterflies massed on the mud.
