The Red Elephants of Tsavo National Parks in Kenya
The elephants of Tsavo East National park are unique. They are brick red in color. These graceful and magnificent animals appear red due to constantly dust bathing and wallowing with the park’s fine red oxide volcanic soil.
The Tsavo elephants are fond of wallowing and dusting. They dust and wallow to keep cool and deter parasites. They seem to enjoy it and take every possible opportunity to do it. They are always ablaze when doing it, giving it their best. Watching them enthusiastically and energetically wallowing and spraying each other with water give a mental picture of the Garden of Eden.
