EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of tranquility between two Southern Elephant Seals at London Zoo on the 20th of April, 1914. The image, taken by Frederick William Bond, showcases the majestic beauty of these magnificent creatures as they gracefully swim in their pool. These particular seals were gifted to the zoo by H. G. The Duke of Bedford just days before this photo was taken. As members of the Zoological Society of London, they were entrusted with caring for these remarkable animals. The pair can be seen gliding effortlessly through the water, showcasing their natural grace and power. Their sleek bodies are perfectly adapted for life in aquatic environments, with flippers that enable them to navigate through the depths with ease. Elephant seals are known for their immense size and distinctive trunk-like noses which give them their name. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only their physical attributes but also highlights the importance of zoos in preserving and studying these incredible species. Through this timeless image captured over a century ago, we are reminded of our connection to nature and our responsibility to protect it. It serves as a testament to both the beauty found within wildlife photography and our ongoing fascination with these enchanting creatures.
