This wasn’t exactly a friendly greeting. The two male elephants were sizing each other up, which led to a brief fight before the larger of the two maintained his superiority. Photographed in the Masai Mara of Kenya. Nikon D850 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 400, f/5 at 1/2000th of a second.
Where I come from you tap a guy on the lower forehead like that and you’re fixing to get your ass kicked. Of course, I come form the Masai Mara, just like these elephants, so, maybe it’s just a local thing.
