Photos; See The Rare Baby Pink ‪Elephant‬ Spotted In ‪South Africa‬

A pink baby elephant was spotted in a herd in the Kruger National Park in South Africa, as it went to drink from a river with its mother. Albino African elephants are an extremely rare phenomenon - even more so than among their smaller Asian cousins.

The adorable baby albino was seen flapping its ears and playing around by the edge of the river, surrounded by its family in the herd.

The little albino calf is set to face many risks, despite being in a fairly safe environment of the national park, which may help protect it from poachers. The lack of pigment in its skin is likely to cause skin problems due to exposure to the blazing African sun.
