Elephant feeding on an acacia.
Acacias are some of the preferred diet for the elephants. Today, just closer to the camp, we were attracted to the sight of a young male elephant that was stripping the back of an acacia tree with its trunk. He had earlier on used his forehead to bend the tree so as to easily reach some of the branches.He worked on the tree for almost half an hour before supplementing with some grass beneath it.
