In the arid regions of southern Africa, elephants are known to dig wells in sandy riverbeds using their feet and trunks to reach water beneath the surface. They may also damage boreholes in their quest for water.
African elephants are keystone species, essential to the balance of their ecosystems. In the savanna, they uproot trees and eat saplings, ensuring open spaces for species like zebras and other plains animals to thrive.
In this video, zebras can also be seen in the distance along the roadside.
