An African elephant stands in an outdoor enclosure in Fasano, Italy

An African elephant stands in an outdoor enclosure in Fasano, Italy. The adult elephant, exhibiting grey-brown, wrinkled skin with scattered dry hay on its back and head, is positioned in profile, facing left. Its prominent tusks are visible, and its trunk is curled downwards towards hay spread across the ground. The immediate ground cover consists of dry hay and disturbed earth, transitioning to muddy patches further back within the enclosure. A brown metal bar fence, part of the enclosure barrier, is visible behind the elephant's head and extending to the left. In the background, under an overcast sky, several tall, slender palm trees with visible fibrous trunks rise above the enclosure. The foreground shows a stone retaining wall, indicating an elevated platform for the enclosure.
