Elephant Trunk

Elephant Trunk
Dzanga Bai, Central African Republic, 1993
Since 1991, Andrea Turkalo has sat almost every day, from 3pm to 5pm, at the Dzanga Bai watching forest elephants with a powerful spotting scope. Using distinctive markings such as ear tears, crooked tails, and broken tusks, she can today identify nearly 3,000 individuals that sometimes use this elephant Mecca for salt and socializing.
