17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Let's go play catch

I had the possibility and privilege to spend an entire day on the platform overlooking the Bai where we counted more than 60 elephants entering and exiting the Bai looking for minerals and salt that they lack in their everyday diet. Such a special experience sitting and watching these gentle giants without them being aware of our presence there.
