pink elephant bbc news

A pink baby elephant has been caught on camera in Botswana.

A wildlife cameraman took pictures of the calf when he spotted it among a herd of about 80 elephants in the Okavango Delta.

Experts believe it is probably an albino, which is an extremely rare phenomenon in African elephants.

They are unsure of its chances of long-term survival - the blazing African sunlight may cause blindness and skin problems for the calf.

Mike Holding, who spotted the baby while filming for a BBC wildlife programme, said: "We only saw it for a couple of minutes as the herd crossed the river.

You should watch the Planet Earth DVDs (or blu ray, which is much better) some amazing things on those

Not exactly pink is it haha i was hoping for a bright pink-panther style pink lol

YAY isnt nature great. A mutant baby who will suffer its whole life to die young. Death by ultraviolet radiation sounds horrific.

Kinda reminds me of the south park episode where Kyle get's his elephant and Cartman's pet pig to make sweet sweet love.

Aww yeah...

Just came back from the pub when I saw this on BBC News!

Was going to post it. Good job I was sober enough to do a search.

Unfortunately, not sober enough to not see pink elephants,
