Pictured is an elephant walking up the beach from the Chobe river toward the bush in Chobe National Park in Botswana, Africa. A chacma baboon in the foreground is walking the opposite direction. They were photographed from a boat based at the Chobe Game Lodge. The elephant just finished drinking from the nearby river. Elephants drink around eleven gallons of water a day, and the herd visits this beach often, leaving it covered with dung. The baboons are attracted to the elephant dung which they sift for tasty morsels of fruit and seeds that have passed undigested through the elephant's digestive tract. Elephants are herbivorous and will eat as much as 660 pounds of leaves, twigs, fruit, bark, grass and roots a day. The binomial name is Loxodonta africana. The binomial name of the chacma baboon is Papio ursinus.
