In Chobe National Park in Botswana, the last wildlife stop on our safari, we encountered a giant heard of elephants (fifty? sixty?) playing in the mud. This shot shows a youngster getting cool in the ol' mud hole. We watched them for about thirty minutes, shooting pics and video, as some weren't just rolling around but a few were actually wrestling with each other, pushing and shoving in groups of two and three, getting down and dirty in the mud. There was definitely one of the most human behaviors we saw in these anaimals, having fun, keeping cool and being exceptionally outwardly social with each other.
