Elephants Dusting

Often called the Red Elephant In the Kenyan National Park of Tsavo East you will find red elephants aplenty.

The dusty soil of Tsavo is naturally of this colour and the elephants regularly partake of dust baths. The dust serves as an important anaesthetic to protect the elephant’s skin.
