In the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania we encountered this large bull strolling down the road. He was much bigger than any of the other males that we had seen, just regal in stature. Then, later in the day we were treated to another form of elephant bathing...the dustbath. This big guy stood before us and picked up dirt with his trunk and then blew it all over his body to help rid himself of pesty flies and other bugs. In one of my photos, he was completely covered and the picture looked like a blurry blob. The girls in the last few photos were not shy. One came right up to our jeep to have a peek and I snapped the shot over my friend's shoulder.

Great photos of great animals. Elephants are smaller where I live - nice but not that big.
Cheers,
Don
