Original - A female African Bush Elephant raises her trunk as a warning sign in Mikumi National Park, Tanzania
Reason
We already have a FP of this elephant but IMO this one shows a different aspect. While in the park, our vehicle moved too close to the elephant and she raised her trunk and one of her fellow elephants did the same, as if sniffing the air. This one then stomped around for some time. Good EV as it shows the individual hairs which may aid in the sensitivity as well as the raised trunk. Very high res.
