Comfort - Gemsbokwater Waterhole, Etosha National Park, Namibia.
An elephant mother is intensely protective, shielding her calf from predators and danger, and even using her own body to block the hot sun. In return, the calf's act of touching is a way for the calf to show it needs comfort and to strengthen its bond with its mother.
