One of my favorite exhibits at the zoo. Its possible to get very close to the elephants along the path, as there is a section about 15 feet from the fence where they will reach across and grab leaves from a clump of trees next to the fence. Great photos by the way, snowleopard!
Looking at those tusks I would say they could have some forest elephant blood in them as they have the long thin almost straight tusks unlike the normal bush elephant
