Is Tsavo Red Elephant Waterhole Congregation happening right now?
As of today, in season, building toward peak (~July 1). Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
In Tsavo National Park, elephants are known to frequent waterholes, especially during the dry season, creating spectacular congregations.
The red coloration of these elephants is due to the red soil they dust themselves with, a behavior common in the park's arid environment.
