When taking pictures of animals, more often than not, you rarely make a
connection. This big girl was so interesting to watch and she was so interested
in me. She hid behind a concrete post in the zoo and watched me with one eye,
occasionally holding her trunk downwind to sample me. With such large eyes you
can almost see into their personality.
I have never had such an experience with an animal so large and intelligent. If
she could have fit in the mini-van I think she would have come home with
me.
