It was no problem to find them in the parks where safari was organized. We could watch them really closely, because sometimes they were a few meters from the car. In fact, safaris are especially famous for the elephants and for the less common leopard. Such a "natural" find as a herd of elephants could sometimes cause tourists get stuck in traffic jams. Sometimes people were wondering what we were photographing. On hearing that we are interested in some small birds they reacted with an ironic smile and disappointment. The population of Sri Lankan elephants is about 6,000 individuals. It is a subspecies of the Asian elephant. It is quite characteristic of this species that only males can have tusks, what is more, only a few percent of the entire population of these elephants have tusks indeed.
