EDITORS COMMENTS
Elephant Spa Day: Desert Edition! This stylish African Elephant knows how to beat the heat and stay fabulous in the scorching desert of Western Namibia. With a flick of its mighty trunk, this adult elephant effortlessly flings dust onto its back, creating a trendy and protective layer of natural sunscreen. In this print captured by Karl Andre Terblanche, we witness the incredible behavior of these rare and endangered desert-adapted elephants. Living in an environment where water is scarce, they have mastered the art of temperature control through their unique dust bathing rituals. As our elegant pachyderm gracefully raises its bottom towards us, it's clear that even elephants appreciate a good view! The Abahuab River serves as both a lifeline and playground for these magnificent creatures, showcasing their ability to adapt to diverse habitats. This snapshot from Africa's southern central region reminds us of the beauty and resilience found within nature. So next time you're feeling hot under the collar, take inspiration from our desert-adapted friend here – embrace your inner diva and give yourself a refreshing dust bath!
