Snorkelling

Under a gorgeous setting sun, in the midst of an undulating waterbody, a dark silhouette rises above the surface with water gushing from it like a sprinkler. A whale? A dolphin? No, it's an elephant! The large terrestrial animal is also an adept swimmer, utilising its unique trunk like a snorkel to breathe underwater.


Aneesh Sankarankutty

Aneesh Sankarankutty is more of an elephant photographer than a wildlife photographer. Lucky enough to have seen them from his early childhood, he developed a passion for photographing wild pachyderms. Aneesh's area of work is more focused than diversified, and it has helped him document some key natural history moments of the Indian Elephant.
