African Elephant on Patrol

A wary African elephant keeps watch in an Odzala National Park bai, or boggy forest clearing, frequented by elephants and gorillas. Among central African wildlife, elephants are some of the most difficult to photograph. Photographer Michael Nichols got this shot in the Congo park by staying downwind.
