Elephants in Love?

After being chased around the banks of the Mara river, then across the river and again on the other side, you would think this female would not be interested! But I think she was too tired to keep running, so she gave up. Our ranger Arnold said, "He didnt even ask her out on a date or ask her what her name was!" Well, it was the first time I have ever seen Elephants mating in the wild, so I was happy!
