EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming moment between two Asian elephants in Bandhavgarh National Park, India. The juvenile and adult elephants are seen joyfully bathing in the water, showcasing their playful nature. These magnificent creatures are being trained to work with mahouts who guide them. The female Asian elephant featured here is on the verge of reaching sexual maturity, which typically occurs between 9 to 15 years of age. It is fascinating to note that she will give birth to only one calf, although twin births are exceptionally rare among these endangered species. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by these remarkable animals. With their population dwindling, they find themselves under constant threat due to habitat loss and poaching activities. This photograph beautifully highlights the importance of conservation efforts aimed at protecting this iconic species. Bandhavgarh National Park provides a sanctuary for these majestic creatures and plays a crucial role in preserving their natural habitat. Located in Madhya Pradesh, India, it serves as an ideal setting for observing and studying Asian elephants up close. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this mesmerizing scene from nature's playground – an enchanting duo immersed in water play. Their portrayal evokes both admiration for their biological significance and concern for their endangered status within South Asia's diverse fauna.
