In spite of their sharp thorns, Vachellia (Acacia) karroo trees are a favourite food for Mount Camdeboo's elephants. In this photo, Luwanda and her calf, Laddie are feeding off a Vachellia karroo tree that Harry (Mount Camdeboo's elephant bull) pushed over. The herd often feeds off trees that Harry has pushed over. Particularly the calves benefit from this, as they are then able to reach the leaves that would otherwise have been too high.
