Bull elephant blocks the road.
A solitary bull elephant near the sand river had refused to move away from our road. He flapped his ears and then shook his head in a threatening display. He did not like our presence as we spoiled his solitude. Because animals have a right of way, we changed direction and he became relaxed then slowly started to walk away.
