KIP'S FIRST CNN STORY: THE GATHERING: ELEPHANTS IN SRI LANKA

An adolescent elephant and its mother search for food after a quick mud bath in Sri Lanka.

For those who missed it, Kip's first story for CNN recently posted about Sri Lanka's elephant migration, called "The Gathering."  Here's an excerpt:

"In north-central Sri Lanka's Minneriya National Park, hundreds of elephants travel each year to the shores of an ancient reservoir built by a king more than 1,700 years ago. They've made the trip for centuries, coming from across the region to bathe, mate, socialize and, most importantly, to feed as part of an annual event known as "The Gathering."
