Small group of elephants photographed in the Samburu National Reserve.

They communicate by touch, sight, smell, and sound; elephants use infrasound, and seismic communication over long distances. Elephant intelligence has been compared with that of primates and cetaceans. They appear to have self-awareness and show empathy for dying or dead individuals of their kind.

African elephants are listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) while the Asian elephant is classed as endangered.

Grevy's zebra photographed in Lewa Downs in Kenya. Found within the 65,000 acre wildlife conservancy of the Lewa Wilderness Trust, the conservancy is home to the single largest population of Grevy’s Zebra in the world. It also contains about 10% of Kenya’s Black Rhino population. Because of extremely strict anti-poaching measures, there has been no poaching in Lewa Downs for several years.

According to Wikipedia, the Grévy's zebra (Equus grevyi), also known as the imperial zebra, is the largest extant wild equid and the largest and most endangered of the three species of zebra, the other two being the plains zebra and the mountain zebra. Named after Jules Grévy, it is the sole extant member of the subgenus Dolichohippus. The Grévy's zebra is found in Kenya and Ethiopia. Compared with other zebras, it is tall, has large ears, and its stripes are narrower.
