Elephants in Tanzania are becoming quite rare due to the poaching crisis - Tanzanian elephants used to be the abundant of any country in Africa! Elephants can sometimes have this red look because of dusting themselves with dirt - a behavior to keep their skin cool or fight parasites. Peter Hogel has been a professional photographer for over twenty-five years, and graciously licensed this photo to us for fundraising purposes.

All prints are printed on metallic Pearl Paper, are mounted on 1/16 inch cardboard, and have a protective Lustre coating that prevents fading from sun, dust accumulation and fingerprints. These three components allow the image to not need a glass covering. All materials are archive quality.
