Woohoo!
Way cool- gorgeous pachyderm...and the tusker reminds one of the mastodon :D

Gorgeous pachyderm indeed,But unfortunately its the gorgeous Tusks that has led to the massacare of these giants. since the big males are targeted the ratio of breeding males to females is gone for a toss. hopefully this guy will survive to complete the circle of life!

Wow - so majestic. And great you caught the dust - makes the photo less static and gives a sense of context - must have been a great feeling to see it up close like that! Were you scared?

well i should be frank here, as this guy charged i clicked to capture angry tusks and trunk. it was only later that i realised with great excitement that i got the dust as well on the frame, but as they say luck happens when preparation meets timing so...

if you have not been involved in a charge than sadly you have not *seen* the great indian tusker:) the elephant did coo some noisy tourists on the jeep into silence with his charge! i have been involved in charges before so know what to make of these mock charges.
