I love these 2 Elephant calves enjoying their mud bath in what looks like the middle of the afternoon. One Elephant looks like she is using her might to push the other elephant over. The photographer has done an excellent job in capturing the perfect moment

Congratulations on the Win

I love the aggression displayed by the younger cub over her older sibling. It seems as if she is around 4-5 months old. Her outstretched paw and tail standing drew my attention. Her larger sibling seems to be leaping away from her. The photographer has done well in capturing the perfect moment

Congratulations on 5th

I love how one Calf is showing her dominance by jumping on the calf that is lying and not allowing her to get up. The 2 calves appear to be smiling as they both look towards the camera. The photographer has excelled and caught the perfect moment

I love the elder calf nudging the smaller calf with the leg. Or is that a kick to keep the little one moving? Looks like a nudge may about to be given by the trunk as well.

The only think I would have differently with this photo is the crop. Congratulations on 3rd

If I had to have a caption for this photo it would be "Hang on buddy, I need to tie my shoelaces". I like the look of the calf being jumped on. The photographer has excelled in capturing the perfect moment

Congratulations on 2nd

The photographer's story is one of feeding. To me this looks like the chick wants to play tug of war with Mom. The photographer has excelled in capturing the perfect moment. The photo is well exposed with the details clearly visible on both Coot and chick

I love this photo of the 3 Elephants playing. The photographer has caught the perfect moment with two locked in embrace. It seems the one who has been left out is jealous and has chosen to jump on the sibling's back

This is a stunning photo of these 2 hares engaged in a high speed chase. The photographer has caught the perfect moment with one hare changing direction and facing the camera. I wonder what the little one is doing tucked away in the grass?

Congratulations on 8th

This is an excellent well exposed photo of these 2 hares in the snow. The one on the ground is looking intently at the opponent? I wonder what's going on in his mind. Should he strike first or wait for the first blow and then react?

Congratulations on 10th

This is an excellent photo of these 2 cubs practising their fighting skills in order to get ready for the future. The splashing water makes the photo more dramatic. The photographer has caught the perfect moment of one cub leaping of out the water and ready to pounce on the sibling
