This elephant had been given a treat of bamboo.  It was amazing to watch it use its trunk and front feet to break the bamboo shoots into smaller sections.

I don’t know how closely I’ve studied elephants before, but I don’t remember noticing all the hair, and I was amazed by the look of their skin.  If I think of elephant skin, I think of the first photo – very wrinkly and dry, almost chapped.  But near their feet, their skin looks almost like velvet (I’m sure it doesn’t feel like velvet, but it looks a bit like velvet).

Have a great Thursday!
