Goodbye My Friend
We came across an elephant whose corpse was overcome by vultures and jackals. Another elephant approached. She chased away the predators and very slowly and with much empathy wrapped her trunk around the deceased elephant's tusk. She stayed several hours guarding her.

My dog and I ran into a coyote pup one time on a walk. He didn't have the howling down, just a goofy little bark. It was adorable.

Ephemera Image 2 years ago (edited)
This sadly, is one of those 'baited' images, where glass is put in the water surrounding the fish and they crash into it, injuring or killing themselves. Many kingfishers have been killed by these photographers, who don't care about the animals well-being. as long as they get the shot they want. Source: I'm a wildlife photographer. This is a controversial method for those of us who care about the birds we photograph.
