An African elephant stands in a natural bushland environment within the Sundays River Valley Local Municipality, South Africa. The large, light brown elephant is positioned in the midground, facing left with its head slightly lowered towards low-lying green and dry thorny vegetation, suggesting a grazing action. Its large ears are visible. A second, partial elephant is discernible in the far left background. The foreground consists of a reddish-brown dirt track with scattered twigs and sparse green shrubs. The midground and background are characterized by dense, mixed bushland and trees. The sky above is overcast and light grey. No human subjects or direct interactions between elephants are observed.
