African Elephant at the Savanna Oasis
Savanna watering holes serve as vital sanctuaries for large African elephants. Raising its trunk near the water, the elephant interacts with its surrounding natural environment. Native plants grow densely along the edges of these shallow water bodies, attracting diverse wildlife across the open plains.
Fascinating Elephant Behavior
African elephants use their trunks as versatile tools for drinking, spraying water, and reaching vegetation. An adult elephant can suck up several gallons of water into its trunk at one time before spraying it into its mouth. These intelligent herbivores also use mud and water baths to protect their sensitive skin from sun damage and insects.
