Pictured is an African bush elephant and calf on the beach near the Chobe River with a baboon in the background in Chobe National Park in Botswana, Africa. The elephant is facing away from the river where it has been for a drink. The elephant may drink 11 gallons of water a day. In the background a chacma baboon is sifting through elephant dung. The baboons are attracted to tasty morsels of fruit and seeds they find in the dung that has passed undigested through the elephants digestive tract. The binomial name of the elephant is Loxodonta africana and the baboon is Papio ursinus. They were photographed from a safari boat based at the Chobe Game Lodge.
