ED & LINDY'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURES....... In 2000, we began a website
chronicling our travels. After using that site for 17 years, technology changed; it can no longer be updated. Welcome to our NEW SITE which follows our journeys from the Fall of 2016 to present. Our thanks go to Andy Paluch/WebGuyz!
Okay, this is one male Elephant that we're glad is at a good
distance away from us. He's displaying his "fifth leg"
(penis) which usually means he's looking for a receptive
female. The male is entering musth, a time when his
testosterone shoots through the roof. These males can be
very, very aggressive. What's a bit fun about this picture is
the way the Elephant's trunk is covering his eye. Kind of
like he's saying: "Oh my, I'm a bit embarrassed; I really
didn't want you to see me this way!" Well, we're glad we saw
him and we're glad he was far away.
