[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Elephants are highly social and intelligent creatures, with social networks that can grow to be as large as a human's. Elephant mothers are very tender, protective, and nurturing to their young. In fact, all the female elephants in the herd protect and take care of the young ones, like a daycare center. They will gently coax the younger elephants to walk in the middle, while the older elephants walk along the perimeter, serving as a protective barrier from predators and danger.

The Matriarch is the eldest female of the group, and serves as the general leader and caretaker for all the younger elephants. She receives respect and much affection.
