Most people who have met wild elephants speak of them with a sense of awe. After a brief encounter, most people will be struck by their size. Others might be surprised at how quiet such large animals can be. In the dark, the only sign elephants are around might be the “swish-rip” of grass being torn up, or the gurgle of jumbo intestines. Even elephant footfalls are hushed, with pads of fatty connective tissue under the bones of their feet muffling their hefty steps.

Then there are those of us who revel in more intimate encounters, who have the chance to witness something special.

The curiosity of a young calf, approaching wide-eyed and mischievously until a babysitter hustles them away. Or the dynamic of a sleepy family group, where calves slumber prone and touchingly vulnerable, displaying tummies.
