The Story
As with all the other Commodity Series these drawings are my comment on the state of the poaching/trophy hunting industry where animals are exploited for their parts or for how they can make money for the greedy and the unscrupulous.
This baby elephant had not quite learnt to use his trunk and while his herd were excavating for water in a dry Botswana river bed he was attacking the reeds and grass that were growing on the edges of the river bed. His efforts at grabbing at the long strands were quite comical to watch and as he strained to wrap his trunk around the clumps of grass he landed on his face several times making this one of the more melancholic times I have spent in the bush where one reflects so easily on the innocence of youth that is so very fleeting.
