Dust bath


Group of elephants enjoying a dust bath at Rooidam, at the Addo Elephant National Park. I do not know what the appeal is, but they were certainly enjoying themselves.

  3. Brilliant shot!

    It may be their way of cleansing themselves and get rid of those little buggers hitching a free ride.
    Chickens do that too.

  7. They sure are kicking up some dust, aren't they? On a smaller scale this reminds me of my cat who loves to lay down and take a gravel bath. Wonderful shot. Have a nice day.
