17. Females do, but they aren't as large as males
I believe the same goes for Asian elephants...

26. In the last pic if you
look behind the Elephant on the right you will see something(?) and its baby. Very blurred in the capture and was moving fast on the feed.

32. regarding that horrible other-worldly screeching we heard earlier...
