“I was fortunate just at the right place when I visited Jim Corbett National Park. I knew that mother would take her calf around the river bank to quench her thirst after a hot summer day,” writes Your Shot photographer Indranil Basu Mallick. “The beautiful bond that was exhibited by the duo is etched in my memory for a lifetime.” Photograph by Indranil Basu Mallick

Elephants are my favorite animal, but I always found African elephants to be more charismatic so I’ve never drawn Asian elephants all that much. Felt like doing a quick study today.
I don’t know how plausible that rearing pose is but I did it without copying a reference photo and it seems like it could be super dynamic with some tweaking.
If you acquired every animal you have ever touched on purpose in your entire life, what would be the coolest thing you could morph into?
Mine would probably be a nurse shark or a boa constrictor. The snake was from when a reptile specialist brought it to my middle school and let us pet it. The shark would be from a Pet The Shark exhibit at an aquarium.
Not gonna lie though, my favorite one (not the coolest, but definitely the most sentimental value) would be the tiny stingray I was friends with when I was 6.
A perigrine falcon, an asian elephant, or an owl (I can’t remember which small species, but I think it was a barn owl).
