Kruger, South Africa – Loved seeing these elephants on Safari. Our guide said these elephants weigh up to about 7 tons and reaches the height of about 3 meters at the shoulder. They are voracious eaters which in a day they consume about 600 pounds and bark from trees. Elephants can live to a potential age of 70 years. Kruger National Park protects large herds, due to rigorous conservation measures.

600 lbs of tree bark? I guess I shouldn’t be too mad when the deer peel a strip off my trees then 🙂

Elephants are also gentle, caring mothers, wise, social and are led by a matriarch. She has second and third in commands to help with issues in and around the herd. My iconic animal

We destroyed it faster than we can save it, Anita. If we don’t save the rainforests, we destroy ourselves.
