Go away!


An elephant enjoying himself in the Chobe River lets tourists know, in no uncertain terms, that they're too close and need to go away.





I'd say he got his message across loud and clear!

I'm surprised everyone stayed so calm. And that none of those big, heavy cameras went into the water. Or that the tusker didn't reach into the boat with his trunk and drag some screaming tourist off, and then skewer them on one of his tusks.

They had these very expensive cameras with very long and very expensive telephoto lenses...
WHY DID THEY HAVE TO GET SO FRIGGING CLOSE?

Really, no one sounded really concerned...

Good thing they caught him in a good mood.
