No .. nothing’s wrong at all with these elephants .. while it’s uncommon for elephants to actually or habitually lie down to sleep the #desertelephant will lie down in the shade to preserve energy & evade the relentless sun / heat of the Namib .. contrary to misinformation from some schools of thought lying down does not endanger the elephant in any way. Elephants require as much as 16 hours a day to feed & to do so there’s very little space for #idletime as most of their time is spent foraging for bush with enough cover for them to feed .. #askme #tourguideonduty #wilsonchifike #visitAfrica https://www.instagram.com/p/CeEzemADbAiWfu1Bk8eLQ8vQPlUrV2CzbcGlSU0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
