It was March 28th, 2014 – a bright and cheerful Friday evening at the Sanstha-pitiya wewa in Wasgamuwa National Park. There were around 40 elephants of different sexes and ages. They exhibited high levels of activity; several were mud bathing, while others were foraging, drinking, and socializing in various ways. We even observed two bulls chasing each other around a grove of trees with the one behind attempting to grab the tail of the one in front.
