African Elephant
Etosha National Park,
Namibia
17 Oct 1998
These two animals were in some sort of disagreement near a water hole. They fussed at one another for about 15 minutes with mock charges, etc. I never did figure out what they were upset about, but I guess it was none of my business and they were not saying.
The African Bush Elephant (Loxodonta africana) is the larger of the two species of African elephant. Both it and the African Forest Elephant have usually been classified as a single species, known simply as the African Elephant. Some authorities still consider the currently available evidence insufficient for splitting the African Elephant into two species. It is also known as the Bush Elephant or Savanna Elephant.
