Nice shot. I was wondering how long you were waiting for them to move on? I was trying to imagine that after an hour or two of them grazing and slowly working their way toward you, what should you do? Do you rev the engine and take a couple of quick jerks toward them while blowing your horn? Ha ha, I would hate to think about trying to speed back down that road in reverse, or getting turned around before they were upon you! Yikes
What is that thing sticking out from behind its shoulder to the right? It doesn't look like something that should naturally be there.

I think that is the tail of the front elephant?

Yes. You are correct.
