Big herbivores!

@Spalea , during your safari to Kenya did you see an adult male elephant from close distance, what were your fillings? A man should be very impressed and excited by such a colossal beast walking close to him. African Bush Elephant is far larger than any terrestrial animal leaving on Earth, it just dwarfs the rhinos, hippos and even Indian elephants. According to new studies an average weight of adult African bull is 6000 kg.... 1,5 times heavier than Asian bull elephants with average of 4000 kg:

Curiously females of both species are almost equal in weight. I have ride at least 30-40 times Indian elephants and even saw one impressive wild bull in the aria I think now called Rajaji national park but have never seen an African elephant, even in the zoo... Its my dream. Think the powerfull impression African bulls create due to two reason - a.) their immense broad head and large ears creating a wall with size 6 metters long and 3 metters high if you stay in the front of the beast and b.) their robust rugged skin covering all head and trunk, the skin of Asian elephant looks a bit smoother with many "fish"-like dots. African bush elephant is a dinosaur.

Unfourtunately to make an African safari from Canada is too expensive, for three guys I checked will cost at least 12 grand which is untinkable in this moment, have to get loan and don't know how to retutn it... But I think every animal lover must do a safari trip to Africa at least ones in his life time. Reply
