Elephant Crossing

Elephant Crossing
This is a male elephant crossing the road in UdaWalawe National Park.

This was a very playful individual who came within inches of our vehicle and displayed its flexible trunk. Notice the collar around its neck, which reveals it was rehabilitated and re-released into the wild. Although such playful behavior can be amusing, it is not healthy for the elephants to interact with humans in this manner.

'Wild' House Decorations

You go to hit the light switch, a frog is on the wall.

You eat dinner, a gecko falls on your plate.

You open a window, a trapped lizard is waiting to escape.

You go to bed, a lizard is clinging to your mosquito net.

You fall asleep, the flea bitten cat, Calvin, pops in through the window.

You take a shower, a toad is peeping out from the bubbles.

You're sitting on the john, you have a staring contest with a toad.

You shake out your shoe, a toad pops out.

You walk down the hall, a toad is underfoot.
