Mags's little calf has had enough exploring for one day and quickly runs back to Mama!
Mags is a female elephant whom we have known for many years, and while she is familiar with us, her young one is still growing to understand the world around him and depends on her guidance.
For now, brief, curious forays are quite enough, and he much prefers staying within quick access to and the protection of his mother and family.
Elephants are highly social, family oriented, and emotionally intelligent as a species. They communicate using their own complex, advanced language, which is fascinating in itself.
For us, no matter how much time we spend in the presence of elephants, as well as other species, it is always an honour.
