An elephant calf can typically fit underneath its mother for the first year of its life. During this period it is still dependent on milk, so rarely strays far from mum. This little ‘un is probably just over a year old as it was a pretty snug fit, though there was no sign yet of tusks erupting - an event that also occurs around the age of 1 year. #elephant #elephantcalf #baby #babyelephants #wildphotossafaris #darylbalfoursafaris #maasaimara #kenya #safariphotography
