This was one of 3 groups of elephants in sight at one time. It appears as though they take turns at the waterhole. The big guy in the center is really really big.

Jay: Elephant's color matching the soil, seem to be use for Camouflage.

Bob: Jay,I guess it would work as a camouflage, but in point of fact it is more used for a sun screen.

Shari: The big "guy" in the center would in fact most likely be a female.
