And no, they are not born white. They are simply covering their body in thick layers of white mud in order to protect themselves from the harsh sunlight at the park.
“I have been photographing Etosha’s so-called ‘white’ elephants for several years now,” Denker said. “They always make great subjects to photograph due to their impressive size and white color.”
“I have witnessed a few interactions with them now as they dip themselves and other animals in the water at different waterholes and have fun covering themselves with white mud,” she said. “There is always a thrill when you really get close to them on the road or when they pass your car very closely.
