Mudbath

<strong>Mudbath</strong>

Taken in a lodge in the Tsavo East National Park in Kenya, this herd of elephants wandered to the watering hole and drank profusely. They then made their way over to a second watering hole and proceeded to douse themselves in mud to cool off in the heat of the day. I was lucky enough to catch the trunkful of muddy water mid-spray with this shot.
