17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A Touching Moment

A touching moment captured between a baby elephant and its sibling. The baby elephant was being a little brat all morning, it was pushing, pulling, trying to climb its sibling. Just when I thought the bigger elephant will have had enough the baby reaches up and curls its trunk around the tusk of the other. It was one of those heart melting moment like when a human baby curls its fingers around the little finger of its parent.
