Pink Elephant

Isn't nature fascinating?

"A wildlife cameraman shooting a documentary for the BBC took pictures of a baby pink elephant when he spotted it among a herd of about 80 elephants in the Okavango Delta in Botaswana.
Experts believe the calf is probably an albino, which is an extremely rare phenomenon in African elephants.
In the long run, the blazing African sunlight could cause blindness and skin problems for the calf.
Albino elephants are not usually white, but instead they have more of a reddish-brown or pink hue."
