Elephants

Nayan out with his family - one elephant is missing - Upali?

Excellent photo of the herd (sans Upali); so hard to get them all together like this.

Maya is also missing.

Oh yes, I'd missed one when I was counting them, I was thinking there were 7 altogether.

I think you took this as I was unpacking my camera at the other end of the enclosure. I took my first shot 6 minutes later

I was wondering which was missing, but presumed it to be Maya as she always seems to be elsewhere than the herd, well from my experience. Would you say Maya has the least involvement in the herd?

Aswell could anyone please label them from left to right. I know Sundara and Nayan, Im just not good with the others! Lovely shot though!

EDIT: My guess would be Jangolie, Sheba, Sundara, Thi, Nayan and Sithami... But correct me if I am wrong, Im unsure on which is Jangolie and which is Sheba.

It is Sheba, Jongoli, Sundara, Sithami, Nayan and Thi.

As is seen in a few of the photos the bond between the Nayan and his grand mother are quite strong as he is often seen at her side, with mother not far off.
