Asian Elephant mud-wallowing

The big tusker came to this small rain-filled puddle and had a gala time.
I joked with my friend that even with minimum of resources, one can have a great time. Lots of resources are not really needed.

What a terrific behavioral photo, Jagdeep. This must have been fun to watch!

It’s like making snow angels - sometimes you just have to! Looks like an elephant smile to me.

How sweet, Jagdeep! It’s the simple things in life that truly make us happy!

Like a kid in his rubber rain boots splashing in a puddle. Really nice and thanks for sharing this.

This one is especially nice, Jagdeep! Composition, focus, lighting, exposure, detail are all superb and it has a very 3D look. I particularly like the expression of the elephant that demonstrates the pleasure of the wallowing process! :+1: :clap:
