These two elephants were head to head, trunks entwined, pushing and shoving. Were they courting? Was it all part of a long, drawn-out fore-play? Or was it a stand-off? Agression or passion? Our knowledge of elephant behaviour is not sufficient to know. Maybe, some day, somebody will enlighten us.

Herds of elephants make their way off the plains and towards the hills, at Amboseli National Park.

Various adults and babies, wandering at their own paces across the open plane.
