Look at this cutie pie money and her baby holding on underneath.

The elephants were amazing, but of course we LOVED the babies. We learned that the elephants often cause havoc in the villages - especially the mama elephants. They are very aggressive about protecting their babies. They knock people down with their trunks them trample them. They also destroy property and eat wood that villagers use for heating and cooking.

This is the second pride of elephants we saw on the second drive we took into the park. Our guide said it is so unusual to see two different prides on one drive. It was raining during this drive, so we almost didn't go, but our guide said the animals like to hang out by the road when it is wet. He was right - we saw tons of animals right by our truck.

These birds are in the stork family - saddle faced storks. They have a bright yellow saddle shape on their faces. This is a male - you can tell by the bright yellow iris of his eye.

Look how close the other truck in our group was to this lion - the head of the pride. Again, we could never have gotten this close if the lions hadn't just chowed down on that giraffe.
