It seems hard to imagine elephants delicately tending a garden, but these pachyderms may well be the world’s heaviest horticulturists and considered gardeners of the forests. Elephants in Africa and Asia eat copious amounts of fruit when it is available. The seeds pass through their intestines and after being expelled – sometimes many kilometers away – they germinate a new plant, if the conditions are favorable. This process is known to ecologists as “seed dispersal,” and scientists have long studied the “gardening” ability of monkeys, birds, bats, and rodents.

You are taken in photo with an animal shot 24/24…
