[National Geographic Wallpaper] Indian Elephant (인도코끼리)

India
1997
Michael K. Nichols

“With 17,000 to 22,000 wild elephants and 2,000 captive ones, India contains at least 35 percent of Asia's elephants. That any should coexist here among nearly 900 million people shows the Hindu reverence for all life???a concept known as ahimsa???and for elephants in particular.”
