Date photographed 20th June 2017, at Mudanda water hole in Tsavo East NP.
Richard Moller took the photos in the company of Tusk Senior Officials – Charlie Mayhew and Dr Samantha Corsellis.

As the small cow / calf herd approached the water hole we noticed one calf to be very different in colour to the others. Once in the water and the Tsavo dust washed off, it became apparent that this little male ele calf was pink and close to looking albino. His eye lashes were long and pale, his skin very pink, even his eyes seemed a different colour.
What was interesting is that his mother took extreme care of him, not letting him move more than a meter from her – as if she realised something was different.
