A family of Elephants crosses a pond in Mana Pools, Zambezi Escarpment, Zimbabwe.
Note the infant, second from right, for whom the water is a bit too deep,
and it's almost totally submerged.
The third in line never breaks contact with the youngster by resting her trunk upon the infant's back.
This is truly a neat trick. The water is too deep?
No Problem! We just use the trunk like a snorkel.
The crossing was successful.
Dry land beckons.
Stick with me, kid.
We'll be all right.
