A baby elephant tethered to its mother reaches out to a tourist at the world biggest Elephant Buffet in Surin, northeast Thailand November 16, 2007. Every year hundreds of elephants and mahouts head to the city to take part in the country's biggest elephant festival, selling sugarcane to tourists to feed them, and taking them for rides around town. With logging banned in 1989, more babies are hitting streets and trekking camps to meet tourism-driven demand for docile, good-looking animals. Picture taken November 16, 2007. [Agencies]
