| After lunch, we went to ride elephants. Tilak, ;Nandani, Gopal and I got on one elephant; here's Siddue and Paresh waiting to board anther elephant. |
 |
| Here's our elephant, Puja, and her mahout Sushil. |

| Our mahout coralled the rhino and her baby into an open field where the baby started running around like a puppy! |

| The first elephants we saw at the breeding center was this mother and her twins. The little person on the left had apparently been a bad baby and was isolated from his mother. (no comment) |
 |
| Paresh took this picture. |
 |
| Paresh took this and the three following pictures. |
 |
| At this place, where we had lunch, we watch elephants come down to the river to be bathed. Life is particularly good sometimes. |
 |
| Love this picture. Paresh took this one and the next. |
 |
| Narayan was the guide in our boat. |
 |
| Large Egret |
 |
| Stork-billed Kingfisher (I had to magnify it so yu could see it, so the resolution isn't very good) |
 |
| Same with these Ruddy Shelducks |
 |
| Same with this Pied Kingfisher |
 |
| These are swallow nests in the mud wall along the river |
 |
| This is an endangered Black Stork |
 |
| We landed down the river where our guide took on a land tour |

 |
| This may not look terribly exciting to you, but this pile of rhinoceros dung is about 3 feet in diameter, and was very fresh! |
 |
| As our tour approached the elephant breeding center, we came across a man-made pool for the rhinos. We had seen spotted deer, which I didn't get a picture of. |
