An elephant’s meal, a tree’s demise 🌿🐘
Here’s a powerful visual of an elephant using its tusk to peel the bark off a camel thorn tree. For the elephant, this bark is rich in nutrients and essential for survival. But for the tree, it’s a slow death—losing bark disrupts its water and nutrient flow, eventually leading to its collapse.
This interaction is nature’s version of a double-edged sword: elephants shape their ecosystem, ensuring their survival while inadvertently altering the landscape.#elephant #botswana #africa #safari #kalaharitours #camping #kalaharitourschobe #camping #chobenationalpark #animal #botswanasafari #wild #wildlife #elephanttusk #tusk #tree

Unlike most waterbirds, the African darter’s feathers lack the oil that makes them waterproof. This reduces the bird’s buoyancy, allowing it to dive more efficiently while hunting for fish. However, after diving, its feathers become waterlogged, and to regain the ability to fly and maintain insulation, the darter must dry them. As a result, it is often seen perched by the water’s edge with its wings spread, allowing the wind to dry its feathers—an iconic behavior that highlights its unique adaptation.

Elephants have a remarkable capacity for water intake, consuming up to 190 liters (50 gallons) daily, though this can increase significantly under thermoregulatory stress or during prolonged periods of exertion. Their highly specialized prehensile trunks serve as dynamic hydraulic siphons, capable of drawing approximately 7-9 liters (2-2.5 gallons) of water per suction cycle. This water is then transferred orally for ingestion. Due to their large body mass and significant evaporative water loss through dermal and respiratory surfaces, elephants require extensive hydration to maintain homeostasis, especially in arid environments. #elephant #animals #botswana #facts #animalfacts #africa #safari #wild #camping #kalaharitours #african #camp #animal #chobenationalpark #elly #africanimals #wild #travel #travelphotography #tourist #travelling #africaseden #onceinalifetime #fact
