african animals with horns Splish, Splash, I was Taking a Bath

Elephants are able to go several days without drinking, during which they can range up to 80km away from a water source. If possible however, an elephant will visit a waterhole at least once daily to drink, bathe and wallow in the mud.

Due to their enormous body size, getting rid of excess body heat is a lot more difficult than it is for you or I - especially after spending their days in the hot sun.

To get by on these blistering hot days, an elephant is able to immerse itself completely in deep water, swimming across lakes and rivers with only the tip of its trunk showing.

Following up on these graceful creatures one afternoon, we found the breeding herd doing exactly that. As they navigated their way through the water, trumpeting and rumbling along the way, they eventually emerged one by one on the other side, allowing us to count, compose and assess their body conditions.
