Clever Elephant Matriarch senses Fire early and moves herd to safety

A fire suddenly broke out on the other side of the river. The Bushveld is very dry and this exacerbated the problem as it spread quite quickly.
Fortunately the clever matriarch elephant sensed this at the very beginning and commanded her herd to safety on the opposite side of the fire. Her rapid reaction to the fire must have been because she had a calf at her side and many young teenage elephants in her herd.

Very clever matriarch. Good thing since the baby would move slower than the heard!

The Mothers are unbelievably perceptive to danger of any kind.
