Part II Giants of Ruaha- Baobabs and Elephants An elephant's ears are a giant cooling system- the massive blood-vessels are clearly visible in this up-close shot of this bull. I never tire of watching the interactions between mother's and their babies. Not all elephants have tusks- but tusks are extremely useful in ripping bark off trees, digging and among males- fighting.
