A Little Give And Take

Elephant transplanting a seeding by carrying it on its tusk


Elephants are sometimes reputed for leaving a trail of destruction in their path but this is at no fault of their own. Their size and appetite does not leave much to the imagination. Come the dry season, elephant herds traversing through the Savannah areas can literally be tracked by following the path of uprooted trees, felled branches and torn up pieces of tree bark scattered all over.

Besides all this, little do we realize that the level of this devastation is actually balanced with creation! Elephants spread plant seeds over very wide areas with their droppings, the same dung is also rolled off by dung beetles underground which helps fertilize the soil and on very rare occasion's as photographed above, elephants even uproot little seedlings involuntarily and later transplant them to other distant areas. Nature keeps everything balanced, its a little give and take.

Wild Animals Pooping

When nature calls how do different animals handle their business, every animal poops differently. A couple of videos of some wildlife going to the bathroom when nature calls. Every species had different shapes and sizes of stools which can also be used to identify them like you do with tracks in the sand. #wildlife #animals #wildkenyasafaris Watch Wildlife Videos on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/shazaadkasmani I Edit Wildlife Photos On Luminar: https://macphun.evyy.net/KWVna Buy Wildlife Photography Gear: https://www.amazon.com/shop/shazaadkasmani Get your Wildlife Photography Shirt: https://teespring.com/stores/shazaadkasmani Signup for Photography Tips: https://www.patreon.com/shazaadkasmani Book a Wildlife Safari: https://www.wildkenyasafaris.com
