Following a recent summer rainstorm, the elephants of the Africa Barn emerged covered in mud! Tange, in particular, was caught in the act, indulging in a large mud bath with flapping ears. With strategic kneels and expert trunk maneuvers, she covered herself with soft mud from a sprawling wallow. Each toss ensured a delightful mud coating from head to back, with her trunk adding the perfect finishing touch by draping mud across her face.
