Ja, and the sand obviously has the correct texture and shape of grains there

Mum continued with her dusting and it was obvious that the little one wanted to join in.

But it could not figure out the correct dust to trunk ratio required.

So found another method that worked - kicking up lots of dust with it's feet.

How many elephants are in Etosha?

Love the picks . Amazing that the Ellies can survive in such different environments . $\O$

Agree, they are very adaptable animals Roger. $\O$

There are just over 2,000 ellies in the park Toko. I think it fluctuates depending on movements and conditions in the park/outside of the park.

Thanks for the comments all. $\O$

I'll move off the dusting for a while (got loads more).

At the waterhole, a young bull ellie notices an older bull approaching and heads over towards him.

We were not sure what to expect, but made sure we woud be ready for any action.

They sized each other up.

Moved together head to head.

Then, completely unexpectedly, greeted each other as old comrades.
