Notes:

• Photo by majed al zaabi with Friend Kiss at Al Jīzah, Al Jizah, Egypt. NatGeo note: “Majed, I appreciate seeing the relationship between these two who, as you have said, have worked together a long time. Often we see these animals providing tourist with pleasure, a service. In this photograph, as with other photographs submitted of mahouts in India, this is a “behind the scene, off time” of their lives as partner who care for one another.”
