EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming image captured by Hannibal Hanschke, we witness the incredible bond between a mother elephant and her newborn calf at Tierpark Zoo in Berlin. The close-up shot allows us to marvel at the delicate skin of the four-day-old baby elephant as it is being breastfed by its loving mother, Kewa. The photograph beautifully portrays the natural instinct of care and love that exists within the animal kingdom. The immense size difference between mother and child serves as a reminder of the wonders found in nature, where big and small coexist harmoniously. The image also highlights the importance of family and environment in shaping these wild animals' lives. It captures a fleeting moment filled with emotion, showcasing not only the physical closeness but also an unspoken connection between two beings. As we admire this tender scene, we are reminded of how crucial it is for us to protect wildlife habitats so that future generations can continue to witness such awe-inspiring moments. Through creative use of airbrushing techniques, Hannibal Hanschke has managed to freeze time and immortalize this precious interaction between a baby elephant seeking nourishment from its mother's trunk. This photograph encapsulates both vulnerability and strength while celebrating life's miracles found within our natural world.
