@thesarahlea_: It was life and death for a second there 🥹 This Ellie was in Musth, full of testosterone and while we kept a far distance, he decided to make a bee line for us. Ellie’s during Musth can be unpredictable and so naturally, we all went into adrenaline mode. Thank Goodness for the amazing communication and understanding of our Guide Ian from @sashwariverofstars who communicated with respect and calm - this is the only thing keeping us between safety and danger. This was during the Symbiosis wellness retreat that I hosted at the All vegan, conservation Sanctuary, Sashwa, River of Stars!
