Striking perspective, which makes for the perfect title, "Mammoth."  Very nice!  :)

I like the perspective these underground bunkers give the scene - a nice close up of the ever present Ele dung....  8) .  I wonder if he lost that tusk wrestling with a tree, or with another bull.   A nice view Morkel, I just wish the tip of the trunk didn't intersect with the background Giraffe.
