Stumpy

Savuti Marsh, Chobe National Park, Botswanau

This young elephant had lost its tail, most likely due to an attack by lions.

A like how you caught the foot in mid air. Looking at how close that tail loss was to its body, I would say that must have been a close call. Voted.

You wonder how it survived a lion attack. Perhaps its mother defended it.

Sad to see, but thats life in the wild. hope it survives to a great age.
