A Big Thanks PPH for the link Its great to know our members look out for all wildlife stories. Brilliant that the Elephant, and her Baby ended up safe

Those are amazing pictures PPH. I'm not sure if it looks as if she lost a piece of her trunk or not but the last pic of the baby almost sitting on the croc looks dangerous. So glad they are both ok, I just hope she has her trunk intact.
Thank you for posting the link PPH.

i thought the same about her trunk, if it survived i'm sure the crocodile will think twice abou tackling an elephant next time

Lets hope the croc does think twice next time, or more importantly, lets hope there isn't a next time.

I am truely hoping her trunk is ok as it would be very difficult if she lost the end of her trunk, it is so important for rumaging, feeding and drinking and if anything happened to her there is her calf to think about, so i'm trying to think all is ok.

My nose actually hurt looking at those pictures!! Im so glad they were seen later the same day all ok.
