A group of Crested Guinea-fowl disappeared into the grass as my car approached.

I stopped and switched off the engine and waited... The birds would not come out again, but this one would pop its head up from time to time to look at me suspiciously - I zoomed in and waited... ;)

Baby, however was too inquisitive and was soon out and staring at the car

Have you ever given any thought or wondered how baby Elephants suckle?

Elephant cows do not have udders, but two 'breasts' rather similar to those of a human, these are situated between the front legs. The baby Elephant has to roll its trunk back to reach the mammary gland. The trunk fits neatly under mother's 'arm'
