Thick Skinned

Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe, Africa

This is a wild elephant not a captive one and it was facing us down pawing at the earth and preparing for a mock charge. Our driver was pretty unconcerned claiming that only one charge in fifty is a genuine effort. Very little comfort when a two storey house is running towards you at upwards of 30 mph.
