Скачать или смотреть ELEPHANTS AT THE WATER FOUNTAIN

While in South Africa we saw elephants gather at favorite watering holes and at our lodge’s where a watering source. It reminded me of days at work when we would gather at the water fountain or what some called the bubbler.

“Elephants need water—lots of it. Depending on their size, they must drink 100 to 200 litres at least every two to three days to avoid potentially severe dehydration. In hot weather, an elephant can lose as much as 7.5% of its body mass daily due to dehydration. So, water availability, particularly in dry seasons and drought, is critical to elephant survival.” - ifaw.org
