I wanted to share a quick image from my recent Chobe safari with you. I wonder how many of you have seen this kind of expression from an elephant before?<\/p>\n

This young bull was enjoying a good frolic in the water, and came out head swishing and eyes all crazy. Captured from our specialised photographic boat, I was sitting on the floor with my lens resting over the side. In hindsight I should have gone to f8 for more DOF, but I’m happy with the sequence I got.<\/p>\n

I was amazed to see how much the Chobe elephants really enjoy goofing off in the river…
