"Red elephants" aren't a distinct species, but rather African elephants that appear red after dusting and wallowing in the iron-rich, crimson soils of Kenya. This behavior is incredibly useful: the thick mud acts as a natural sunscreen and insect repellent. Find red elephants in Tsavo West National Park
