Photo by @daviddoubilet A group of Australian sea lions play in a dense carpet of seagrass near Hopkins Island South Australia. The sea lions were playful like golden retrievers, pulling camera cords and loose straps. Australian sea lions were hunted heavily and are now endangered but their numbers are slowly rebounding. Today their main predator is not man but great white sharks. We would be photographing a large group and they would vanish in an instant, soon after a great white would cruise past looking for a meal. We learned quickly to leave when the sea lions leave. // with @natgeo @natgeocreative @thephotosociety // #ocean #sealion #gratitude #endangered #beauty #australia for #moreocean follow @daviddoubilet

Photo by @amivitale. Shaba, the proxy matriarch of the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary (@r.e.s.c.u.e) herd teaches younger orphan Bawa how to forage and find the juiciest bits on the tree. Under the eye of caretakers, Shaba leads her small herd into the bush outside the sanctuary, stripping leaves, tasting bark, pushing down small trees, taking mud baths. Elephants are ecosystem “engineers” who feed on low brush and bulldoze small trees, promoting growth of grasses, which in turn attract bulk grazers like buffalo, endangered Grevy’s zebras, eland, and oryx, themselves prey for carnivores: lions, cheetahs, wild dogs, leopards.
@r.e.s.c.u.e, the first ever community owned and run elephant sanctuary in all of Africa, provides a home to orphaned elephants and is leading a transformation in the way Samburus relate to wild animals they once feared.
