Gentle giant. An amazing creature. You had a great angle to capture it's profile.
You've sparked my interest on this place.

@Barbara: Thanks, Barb ... there is so much to see there, and many, many varieties of birds too. Kayla liked the bigger animals so we spent much of our time with them.

@Leena: Thank you, Leena, and the only thing I would have liked better than taking the photo, was to be in the water with my arms around her.

@tyan: Good comment, Tyan ... our diversity along with those of the animals on the planet (all of which He created), make our world "Beauty in His sight!"
Now, what mankind has done with their lives and the natural beauty is another thing.............!
