“Mkhaya's herd is a good-sized group - sixteen in all, counting the calves - and even though they are the largest land mammals on earth, they are not always easy to find. Elephants, it runs out, are surprisingly stealthy.” ElephantsHerdsStealth Book:Zoo Story: Life in the Garden of Captives Source: Zoo Story: Life in the Garden of Captives
“Elephants, it turns out, are surprisingly stealthy. As the sunlight fades, other species declare their presence. Throngs of zebras and wildebeests thunder by in the distance, trailing dust clouds. Cape buffalo snort and raise their horns and position themselves in front of their young. Giraffes stare over treetops, their huge brown eyes blinking, then lope away in seeming slow motion. But no elephants.” EyeYoungTurnsFrontsPositionHugeRaisesDistanceSpeciesCloudsDustStaringBrownFadesSunlightElephantsThunderHornsSeemingCapesBuffaloGiraffeSlow MotionBrown EyesZebrasTreetops Author:Thomas French
