Here's a guest post from animals@lemmy.world, encouraged by jeena@piefed.jeena.net.

I've had to speculate on this shot (as seen in the title), as information was limited. There are also versions of this pic in 'setting sun' colors, so this may indeed be color-shifted a bit. In any case, I find the new color scheme quite lovely!

Btw, the African bush elephant is the largest land animal in the world, with adults weighing in at ~7 short tons.

Thank you for this gem of a picture!

De rien, mssr!

Btw, may I ask how you first got interested in elephants?

Me, I've always been impressed by their intelligence, social lifestyle, and individual character. As an avid fan of Euro comics, I've also enjoyed how relatively often they appear in various stories, starting right with the legendary Tintin.

Very outrun vibe.
