RE: Elephant Herd At The Musiara Marsh, Maasai Mara - Rob the Ranger
Wow! That is lovely sight to behold! It feels very natural and amusing to see these animals in the open and not in zoos. Is this in a literally wild or in a protected nature park? It is amazing that there are so many of them. Basing on their tusks, they look fairly young, am I right?
The small ones are very cute. Were they the ones that made noise then the big ones started flapping their ears? I never heard the sound of an elephant so I do not know...
You got good shots even without the zooming. How far were you from the herd?
Hi @macoolette, This is a national reserve, but the animals are entirely wild (The reserve is > 1,500 sq km). Yes, as they get older, their tusks will get much much larger.
Re the sounds... at which time count in the video are you referring to? I think you might be talking about bird sounds that were in the background.
Wild Elephants aren't really scared of safari vehicles, so we're normally able to get quite close. This was maybe 150-200 yards away.
I wish I can see such amazing sight in the wild... You're blessed to have done so!
I replayed a portion of the video and the sound started at around 1:30. I think those are the baby elephants. They sound really cute. 😊
