- African Elephant charging
Chris’s description of this drawing based on his experiences in Africa.
A typical show of bravado from a young elephant, full of libido, who breaks out of the family herd moving unconcernedly off a waterhole to charge a supposed adversary, maybe an encroaching Kudu or perhaps a safari vehicle full of camera clicking tourists. In this case his bravado is short-lived as this enlarged beast, ears outstretched, comes to a sudden halt only to mockingly turn-tail and run back to the safety of the herd. The knowledgeable driver leans back unmoving and chuckles after warning his passengers to remain silent and still.
More of Chris’s adventures can be read on our web site under the ”Newsletters” page.
