Elephant family reunion.

The younger one runs to meet his dad. The female nuzzles the male. The older brother saunters up and takes a piss.

I thought elephants roamed in herds of females and children.

They said that the elephant coming in from the left is grandmother/mother. Noticed that grandma wasn't anywhere near as expressive in her affection towards grandbaby as vice versa. But grandma did express her affection for daughter.

Also, news did not show older brother whizzing as you might expect.
