Rare Animals in the Wild

An albino pink baby elephant has been caught on film in Botswana, an exciting event for those who witnessed it, as albino elephants are very rare. Questions arise now about the little elephant's survival rate under the intense African sun, but according to the article his chance is better there in the Okavango Delta than many other places due to the shade he can find, and the mud that he can use to coat his body for protection.

Good luck little elephant!

One of the larger concerns should also be poachers, as we know from experience that rare and magnificent animals in the wild (such as the poor white stag in the UK in 2007) are often prime targets for hunting trophies. In a positive turn of events, apparently that white stag sired a baby white stag and those who have seen it are more keen than ever to protect its location and therefore prevent a similar hunting tragedy that claimed its father.

Endangered and rare animals have a hard enough time surviving human encroachment without the more deliberate threat of hunting to worry about.

Good luck to all of the endangered animal species.
