Elephants have always fascinated me. They’re such huge animals, yet they’re so quiet when moving and even eating.

Beyond the big tusked African elephants, are a number of different Asian elephant species. This one, the Elephas maximus maximus is known as the Sri Lankan Elephant.

There are roughly 6,000 of these endangered Sri Lankan elephants left in the wild, and as the name would suggest they are only found on the island nation of Sri Lanka, south of India.

These elephants were photographed in Yala National Park, Sri Lanka.
