Welcome to the Jungle: Bandipur

Aside from the study, seeing elephants was pretty much the point of this trip as far as I'm concerned.   On my second day I saw an elephant walking down the street in the city, but I was in an auto and, as per usual, we were going at a breakneck speed so I didn't have time to grab my camera.  

Than man in the orange shirt was kind of "in charge" of the elephant, but for all of his yelling I'm pretty sure the elephant just wandered wherever he wanted.  


A display at the visitors' center featuring various kinds of animal poop.  I'm not sure if you can tell from the photo, but the samples are real feces covered in some kind of shellac.  Paul got a huge kick out of the "dropping-a ball" sign.  

These guys were wandering around everywhere.  I kind of thought we were supposed to be really afraid of them, but they didn't really do much.
