15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A newvborn elephant
While on a safari in Africa, one day we came upon a group of elephants. As we got closer we could see a baby. Looking closer we saw the umbilical cord was still wet--so it was not very old. We got to watch it try to stand and suck for the first time. A very special experience!
