PLAYFUL ELEPHANTS MAKE A SPLASH
WIDE EYED with a huge smile across her face, this little elephant is a picture of happiness. Splashing about in the water, the young elephant revels in an afternoon spent playing with her brother in their enclosure at Ragunan National Zoo in Jakarta, Indonesia. For elephants, touching is an important form of communication, and individuals greet each other by stroking or wrapping their trunks.
