allcreatures: Two elephants get their trunks in a tangle as they have a play fight in a river. An African elephant from Namibia met another from Botswana at the Chobe River, which runs between the two countries. Photographer Eric Webber sat in a boat just 20 feet away as the Namibian elephant swam to the middle of the river and the Botswanan elephant waded in to join him. Eric, from Texas, United States, said: “They sniffed each other briefly and then entwined trunks. Our guide explained that this was a way for elephants, especially younger elephants, to greet each other - kind of like a handshake.”. Picture: Eric Webber/solent
