Elephant Cow and Calf by Robert Bateman

Elephant Cow and Calf by Robert Bateman available from Prickly Pear Galleries.

 

"One of the very special things about elephants is their sense of family. Elephant society is matriarchal and is generally ruled by one of the older and wiser cows. In this painting I wanted to show an unremarkable mother elephant facing a potential threat with her trusting calf at her side." - Robert Bateman.
