Asian Elephant on Tracks

 

Taken in Assam, India, this photo captures an Asian elephant strolling across India’s rail system. Over the past ten years, about 50 Asian elephants were killed attempting to cross railroad tracks. Throughout the world, railways pass through the habitats of not just elephants, but many other important species.
