EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a tender moment at the London Zoo in July 1925. In the frame, we see a young female African Pygmy Elephant named Oojah curiously investigating a barrel with her trunk. The image is filled with intrigue as Oojah's keeper and trainer observe her actions attentively. The photo, taken by Frederick William Bond, showcases the beauty of wildlife and the deep connection between humans and animals. Oojah's juvenile presence adds an element of innocence to the scene, highlighting her natural curiosity. As she delicately explores the barrel with her powerful trunk, one can't help but wonder what thoughts are running through Oojah's mind. Is it a game for her? Or perhaps she is searching for hidden treats inside? The composition exudes tranquility despite being captured in busy surroundings. The timeless quality of this image transports us back to a bygone era when zoos were places of wonderment and discovery. Bond's skillful photography allows us to witness this intimate interaction between elephant and human, reminding us of our responsibility to protect these magnificent creatures and their habitats. Overall, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even in captivity, animals like Oojah possess an innate sense of curiosity that should be cherished and respected.
