Elephants are typically gray, but this small calf, which belongs to the genus Loxodonta, has pink skin and fair hair.

After the Rains by David & Shiela Glatz Via Flickr: It was a bleak and dreary day on the Masai Mara. When the heavy, drenching rains suddenly stopped, the sun peeked through the low clouds. The entire landscape was soaked, in both the wet and the saturation of colors. A tiny baby African Elephant calf (Loxodonta) joined its mother on a stroll across the plains. The whole herd was just on the other side of a small rise. Was the mother returning to the herd after giving birth? Was the little family unit just rediscovering the herd after getting lost? We don't really know, but this brief moment of interaction between mother and calf suggested a dozen possible stories.
