" Watch your Steps"
A Somewhat playful interaction between a group of subadult gaurs and a young subadult tusker . A very intriguing moment in my wildlifing career , usually we have seen that whenever these 2 animals come close it ends up in a clash .But as we always remember childhood is free from all complications , its depicted in this episode quite vividly . A herd of about 10 gaurs were hobering around the salt pit , when this not so big single young adult tuaker came out strolling . Seeing the big animal the gaurs made a retreat into the forest other than 2 subadult females . We thought the gaurs willsoon b manhandled .Instead the tusker stopped in front of them and looked at the gaurs pretty curiously and the gaurs too seemed not b afrain of the tusker .After that they started a game as if 3 children are having a big time fun.... the elephants and gaurs started running accross each other , no hitting no charging , the elephant was very gently pulling one of the 2 gaurs tail .... this continued for a spell of 3-4 minutes untill the adult gaurs called those subadult girl gaurs in . They had to leave reluctantly ,and the elephant even rumbled at them ... we did record the episode in video , and this one of the documented shot of the entire episode ... it was like two cute little adolescent girls ( gaurs) charmed by the handsome young boy ( ele . )
