Wild Encounter

Elephants in Bandipur

Indian society is know as “Elephant society”, this is because parents are always protecting the children for many many years.  When I encountered this herd of elephants in the forests of Bandipur, I could relate to the way the female elephants were protecting their two young ones.  The sighting lasted for 20 minutes.
