Getting a drink of water at the pond can be tough business

This elephant found out the hard way. The preceding night, before we shot this particular photo, we stumbled, in the dark, on the way back to camp after the evenign game drive, on two lionesses lounging nearby this kill while two adorable cubs frolicked (really, I mean the word frolic with all seriousness,) around. Some buzzards and other birds snacked on the carcass, too. It was a stunning sight to see the gathering at dusk of all the critters. It was like one of those Day in the Life books. But for animals. Who can read. Whatever. Point made.
