Growling mother elephant at Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary

This female elephant is obviously protective about her calf. When we approached in our jeep towards her, she let out a growl that sounded like a wolf or a leopard. She even charged the jeep ahead of us. Keep the volume high to get all the sounds.

Recorded at the Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary (now River Tern Lodges), near Shimoga, Karnataka, India.
