Beautiful animals.
I had to write a dissertation on the vocalisations they make a quarter of a century ago. (Well, Loxodonta africana, anyway.) And in news I saw earlier today, more good news: CHINA have finally agreed to uphold the international ban on ivory trading.
They're probably still pretty much doomed and likely to go extinct as a result of human activity / population growth but there's nothing wrong in fighting to delay the near-inevitable.

Ps. Is that your photo? If so, nice work.
Thank you for this contribution zool237 - you sound extremely knowledgeable in the ways of the elephant. The team at Community News hope that the elephant continues to roam in the wild for many years to come - but like you, we have our doubts. Bans on ivory trading obviously help the cause.
And thank you @roshanee for this contribution to #celestialchallenge.
