A group from the C family is in view. gf0028 in the foreground joins gf0030 and gf0029 as a medium-sized male enters the frame on the right. As he Advances-Toward gf0029 she Ear-Slaps and Orients-Away and she Head-Shakes. They continue to move away and large adult tuskless female gf0004 appears in frame (and likely initiated this movement). The male stands to Flehmen before following after the group.
