Elephants

When I recently discovered an article about elephants at http://www.photographyblogger.net/19-terrific-photos-of-elephants/, I remembered, that some photographers kindly sent some elephant pictures to my group BLOG IT too:

P.S.:
They say, elephants are clever, even wise, they would care for their families, are very sad, if a train for example has killed a member of their group; elephants have a functional memory etc. – do WE remember what elephants already have done for us? At retronaut.com I found out, that zoo-animals even made efforts to support the war!
below: my own elephant portrait, shot in the Berlin (West) Zoo:
