There is a small story behind this Picture
Captured in Jaldapara National Park
In frame Mother Elephant and her 1.5-2 years old baby elephant
Every day there are 3 safari timings from Morning 5:30-6:30, 6:30-730 and 7:30-8:30
Good part :- That baby elephant cannot take any tourist on its back , but everyday will come and will go for safari with mom elephant , 6 times combined round trips,and as a tourist its fun to watch that baby elephant but during safari in jungle sometimes it was creating problems also like it was going here and there not following the path and the guide was waiting to search for that , there were problems but there is a reason behind that why they cannot keep the baby elephant hone alone , because the Mom elephant will not go without the baby elephant
And baby elephant will not stay alone , so it shows how a strong bond is
Reality :- so when i asked the guide about the baby elephant , he said the age and all then he said why he’s coming with us , so there are two reasons , one reason is already mentioned , and the other reason is if the baby elephant comes everyday then it will know the safari path very well , so its kind of a training for future purpose
And when it will be 5 years old proper training will start and it will be separated from his mother , so i asked so they do not react ?
The guide said they will cry for 2 months ,
And for that 1 or 2 months mom elephant do not want to go for safari , baby elephant do not eat , but eventually they all understand the reality and accept the fact
As at the end of the day all 4 of us have to accept the fact and move on does not matter how harsh the reality is.
