This poor fellow was trying so hard to reach the leaves.  He wasn't successful.

Later on, I saw him grabbing some leaves from a closer tree.

This particular species of elephant grow horns throughout their life.  They are not actually horns, but teeth. 

Amazing things one learns at the zoo.
The zebra.  Beautiful, beautiful animals.

He (or she) is posing majestically for me in this photo.

They say zebra stripes are like human fingerprints.  No two are alike.
