Digital Calendar photo description
Evening Stroll
Early evening at the Pafuri bridge in the far northern region of the Kruger National Park, Mpumalanga,
this large Elephant strolled across the river as the golden rays of the setting sun bathed
the river water in a golden glow.
Elephant - Loxodonta africana
The largest land animal, Africa's true King of Beasts, weighs up to 6 000 kg (male) and 3 500 kg (female), height 3.3 m (male) and 2.5 m (female). The trunk is a muscular extension of the upper lip containing the nostrils, tip equipped with two fingerlike projections for handling small objects. Huge ears, up to 1.5 m. Flapping ears on still, hot days helps cool blood flowing through network of veins on back surface. Tusks grow continuously, weigh up to 130 kg each
and can reach a length of about 2.5 m.
