Bulldog,

Your instincts are too keen and you are right it was a joke. Unfortunately fat chance of being in the right place at the right time today!

India is very anti-hunting these days and wild elephants are rare. Found in a Nat Park in the South and a couple more in the North and North-East. Many times why there I wished I had been born seventy or eighty, even fifty years earlier.

These are two tame elephants having a rest, and if it wasn't for the chains I might have got away with it a bit longer. There are a fari number of elephants used as domestic beasts however,

When going through my photos I found this photo where the two elephants looked dead, except for the chains. I couldn't resist a joke anyway.

Will post some more photos.

These elephants are some of those used by the mahouts to locate tigers in the parks early in the mornings, and which tourists ride through the forest if a tiger is located and stays put long enough in order to get views of them.

After their work they get a bath or wash down.
