  • Federico Veronesi (Italy) witnesses a powerful moment of an elephant carrying a dead calf, a rare glimpse into complex animal behaviours. Federico was tracking elephants when he came across an unusual pattern of drag marks in the sand of a dry riverbed. The source became clear when he caught up with a family group. A female emerged with the calf, its leg wedged between her tusk and trunk. Behaviours centring on death have been observed in both Asian and African elephants, including vocalisations, guarding the dead, inspecting and handling bones, and carrying the deceased. Some researchers suggest these behaviours could indicate an elephant’s journey to understanding death, while others interpret these actions as possible displays of grief. Location: Huab River Valley, Damaraland, Namibia Technical details: Nikon Z8 + 400mm f2.8 lens; 1/1000 at f2.8; ISO 72
