Top Shot: River of Giants
Top Shot features the photo with the most votes from the previous day’s Daily Dozen, 12 photos chosen by the Your Shot editors from thousands of recent uploads. Our community votes for their favorite photo from the selection, and the Top Shot is showcased on the @natgeoyourshot Instagram account.
Your Shot photographer George Dian Balan photographed this Asian elephant as it enjoyed a bath. "This Asian great tusker was one of the youngest I have ever seen," writes Balan. "I am not aware of any other big tusker on Earth to have 2m long tusks at such a young age, as tusks usually reach that size by 40 years old." Photograph by George Dian Balan
