Thanks to wildlife photographer Bruce Kekule for sending me the link to this interesting footage of a teenage tusker reacting to a trail camera.
After its initial back-stepping hesitation (Whoa, what the..?") it satisfies its curiosity with trunk and foot.
Bruce warned me about those puny camera mounts made of sticks I wrote about the other day.
He said they wouldn't last long with elephants in Thailand.
I assured him that the cams in the Rakhine Yoma are now chained to trees and sporting metal protectors.
