A mother and her calf forage as they walk through the green landscape of Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya. Female elephants are at their most fertile between the ages of 25 and 45 and they have a gestation period of almost two years. Once born, the calves are cared for by not only their biological mother, but also other adult and young females in the group. This is know as allomothering. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 800, f/3.5 at 1/400th of a second.
