Working aquatic-elephants like Rajan used to be a regular sight in the Andaman Islands, south of India, but this 60-year-old five tonne Asian elephant is the last of his kind. Thanks to the introduction of motor boats and other energy-saving technology, Rajan no longer needs to swim miles between islands to work for his masters, but can now enjoy swimming purely for pleasure. Rajan still swims for ten minutes twice a day, completing about 500 yards before heading back to shore. Brazilian Photographer, Daniel Botelho, 30, travelled to the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean after hearing stories of islanders swimming with the giant beasts. He said: “I almost got killed by the elephant during one photo shoot. Suddenly a swell came and took me and the elephant by surprise. I was stuck in the sand because of the crash of the wave. He did his best not to kill me - I felt him rolling on top and away from me.” Picture: Daniel Botelho / Barcroft Media

Last year I found out that horses are being stolen and used to smuggle drugs across the Arizona/Mexico border. The story bothered me so much that I wanted to help raise awareness and so I found myself in Tucson. Many of the horses are found physically deformed when they are of no use anymore and the majority of them die in the desert upon being abandoned. 

Heart of Tucson rescues and rehabilitates some of the luckier ones. These are some of the horses on their journey to recovery. To learn more and to support Heart of Tucson please visit their website www.heartoftucson.com
