The Sri Lankan elephant populace is now mainly limited to the dry region in the north, east and southeast of Sri Lanka. Elephants are existing in Udawalawe National Park, Yala National Park, Lunugamvehera National Park, Wilpattu National Park and Minneriya National Park but also live outside safe areas. It is projected that Sri Lanka has the maximum thickness of elephants in Asia.

It is very rare chance to photography a elephant with tusks as only some Asian males have tusks

Our adventure today, takes us further into the Wilpattu National Park Sri Lanka...

hi @jeewan

I personally enjoy posts with animals and I hope you can continue to upload more of these posts and we can continue to enjoy them. Are these elephants roaming freely in nature or in some place where someone keeps them? Why did not you take more pictures of other animals? I think it would be really nice if you brought us more pictures.
have a nice day
