Knysna Elephant Park.
 You'd think feeding elephants would be a little cleaner, but I came out of it with an empty bucket and a hand completely covered in elephant nose mucus. |  Open wide. Harry the Elephant is showing us his teeth. Later, I got to stick my entire hand in his mouth. |
 Fresh from the oven. You can see the shine and practically the steam rising from this elephant poo. |  And here are the babies, eating the poo. Apparently, babies are born without a lot of the enzymes needed to digest food, so they eat portions of the adult poo to get those enzymes. In addition, elephants only digest 40% of their food, so there's quite a bit of nutrition left in the droppings. |
