Ask anyone what color an elephant should be and you may get a raised eyebrow (or two) but the answer will normally be grey or greyish – perhaps even black or brown. The more observant might say there is pinkness around some parts of the body such as the ears and trunk.
Red would almost certainly not be the answer even though some would swear they had witnessed
pink elephants on parade. Yet in the Kenyan National Park of Tsavo East you will find red elephants aplenty.
