EDITORS COMMENTS
Discover the intriguing world of the African Elephant in this close-up photograph by Pat Morris (PM-855). This magnificent creature, Loxodonta africana, is the largest living terrestrial animal and a true icon of the African savannah. In this image, we are offered a unique perspective, a glimpse into the elephant's world as we focus on the bottom, revealing the tail and the intricately textured skin. The African Elephant's tail, a powerful appendage used for balance and communication, is curled up, displaying its rough surface and the distinct pattern of wrinkles. The skin, a testament to the elephant's adaptability, is covered in a complex network of wrinkles and folds, serving as a protective layer against the harsh African climate. These wrinkles can hold up to 10 gallons of water, allowing the elephant to go for extended periods without drinking. This photograph not only showcases the raw beauty and power of the African Elephant but also highlights the unique features that make this endangered species so remarkable. As you admire the details in this print, remember that the African Elephant is a rare and precious part of our natural world, facing numerous threats, including habitat loss and poaching for their ivory tusks. Let this image serve as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect these magnificent creatures and their habitats.
