This young male plays with the water at the spring in Zimbabwe

Taken in Hwange National Park on the west of Zimbabwe where the wardens have created fresh springs at the waterholes to guarantee the safe future for the elephant population. At this fresh spring the wardens have created a hide, made from a shipping container so it will take the weight of an elephant – just in case! This young male was sent to ensure that the contents of the hide were of no threat to the herd; he stared us out and played with the water before declaring us harmless.
