I saw these two elephants next to the fence at Berg en Dal. These two were brothers and their mother was a little distance away. It seemed the older brother played with the younger one, pretending to be dead or ill, The young one got bored rather quickly and wanted to move on.

If the video stop unexpectedly, just click below right to see the rest on Youtube.

Thanks everybody for the encouraging remarks. I will try to edit a few more good ones before I return to Kruger to find some more scenes to shoot and show here.

Enjoy!
