Thirsty Work

Species: African Elephant (Loxodonta africana)

Location: Eastern Cape, South Africa

Taken around a watering hole and among its herd, this image of an African elephant drinking encapsulates what I love most about wildlife photography; animals in their natural states. It may not be an image of an elephant in its most typical and recognisable form, but it is one of a natural behaviour, as it always should be.
