African Elephants (Loxodonta africana) at Lake Manyara, Tanzania

As we were watching 5 elephants moving slowly into this area, they apparently arrived at their intended destination because they began rolling in the loose dirt and spraying it over their backs. Since they had previously been wading through 2-4 feet of water the dirt and dust stuck to them pretty well. Behind this elephant there are at least 3 smaller elephants that are laying and rolling in the loose dirt. Fun times!
