Wildlife/Animals 3rd place winner

Elephants, usually traveling in large herds, protect their youngest by keeping them hidden in the middle of the group. But kids are just kids, regardless of the species, and try to test their limits. This little elephant managed to escape from its mother just for a short couple of seconds, proudly leading the family and making a lot of dust with its tiny legs.
