African ELEPHANT bull - giving photographer a bluff charge

TOM-852 African ELEPHANT bull - giving photographer a bluff charge. Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe. Loxodonta africana This bull was feeding on Acacia tree seed pods (small orange-yellow clumps near feet). He was treating us like he does baboons - a short bums rush usually scares them away from this valuable food source. We sat still and he went back to feeding on the pods, eventually taking some within three feet of where we sat.
