"Investigating" - Okavango Delta - Botswana
If you have an opportunity to spend some time among the biggest land animals on Earth, you’ll probably immediately feel the powerful energy that surrounds these gentle giants.
Science has proved time and time again that they’re extremely intelligent and inquisitive creatures. Having poor vision, they rely more on their well-developed sense of smell and touch than eyesight.
During my recent visit to Chobe National Park in Botswana, this elephant got particularly interested in our boat. He approached slowly and started investigating us, smelling us with his super-sensitive trunk, almost touching my lens.
Once he decided my noisy camera was harmless, he quickly got bored and went back to grazing.
