When we offered you a photogallery of forest elephants two weeks ago, we did not expect how they attract you. After our arrival from Africa, we launch forth the elephants once again - this time in global panoramatic view in the clearing.

You can look around the clearing by moving the mouse. For zooming click into the application and use cursor keys up and down.
