On a hot African morning, Leila was lying on her stomach and an elephant was walking towards her. Leila waited.

So every morning I used to park my car in the open near the path (小道). They used to take the same path every morning when they left the water hole. After a week, they were used to seeing my car. So the next morning, I lay under it and got my photo!”
