Shield Wall - as the African Wildlife category winner of the 2020 Wilderness Safaris Photographic Competition.
Baby elephants are inexperienced and oblivious to danger. The adult members take it upon themselves to protect the young. The herd is taking a morning walk to the marsh in Maasai Mara. Being on high alert to predators nearby, they surround baby creating a ‘wall’ to shield the infant. This fortress of mighty legs is impenetrable. Any attempt to do so will encounter a strong defense by the largest terrestrial mammals on earth!

Zebras need to constantly travel to find fresh grass and water. Over time they gather in massive herds, of hundreds, as they migrate to better feeding grounds. Zebras are social animals, travelling in herds help protect the young from predators. A larger herd is formed of many smaller families who stick together when migrating. I was lucky to see the artistic pattern of black and white stripes when a big herd of Zebras gathered at the Mara River to cross to the southern part of Masai Mara National Reserve.
