  • Jacques Matthysen photographed the heart-warming moment at Kariega Game Reserve in South Africa
  • It occurred as a herd of nearly 30 elephants playfully chased each other and rolled around on the floor

  • Photographer Jacques Matthysen said two young elephants locked trunks, like humans would hold hands, in a touching embrace
     
    See elephants kissing
     
    Jacques Matthysen, the game reserve's photographer, said the elephants' affectionate behaviour caught him by surprise
    At one point they appear to be kissing.

    The DSWT iWorry Campaign
    One elephant is killed every 15 minutes on average,
    to satisfy the Chinese market for trinkets made out of ivory.
     
    It is estimated that in less than 10 YEARS
    all wild elephants will be extinct.
