    The photo of the elephants in a rush to water is a great photo story. Not knowing the detail makes the viewer wonder what the commotion is all about.

    Those tiny warthogs don’t seem to be nervous around those big elephant feet. Of all the animals we saw on our journey, I think my favorite is the elephant. They seem so intelligent.

      Elephants are my favourite as well, John. They have such individual personalities and are obviously quite intelligent. Being able to watch their interactions so closely in a place like Addo is wonderful

    Three little warthogs and an elephant! How tiny and how big, unbelievable! Gisteraand ‘n nuwe sir David Attenborough skouspel gekyk oor diere wat by die menslike omgewing moet aanpas. Dis wonderlik hoe die natuur (eintlik soogdiere) by die mensgemaakte omgewing inskakel en aanpas om te oorleef.

      Ons geniet ook Sir Attenborough se dokumentere films geweldig baie, Ineke! Dit is wonderlik dat party diere so aanpasbaar is, maar ook so hartseer dat dit ons is wat hulle forseer om gedrag wat oor millennia ontwikkel is te moet verander oor ons so rondploeter met hul lewensruim.

      Elephant don’t like sharing their waterholes at all, Lois. In that picture the elephant is preparing to swat a trunk their way and the three little pigs are already jumping out of the way!
