Definitely full of something RP.
P.S. Note that the trunk is held in the J-sniffing posture.

Re: Etosha Elephants
These two old stalwarts were at the waterhole in Okakuejo. The old codgers looked like they had a lifetime's worth of mischief between them.
This one looked as if he would have had an impressive pair of tusks had he looked after them in younger life.
He was all for playing a prank on future visitors to the waterhole.
Prank over, he ambled along at his own pace. (Note the trunk held in the J-sniffing position again).
His partner in crime had a well cared for pair of tusks.
And also held his trunk in the J-sniffing position.
The trunk is held in this position to monitor the elephants surroundings. This one was likely checking us out as we were standing close by.
He turned and gave us a shake of the head, still monitoring what we were up to.
Before moving on again, checking out who was ahead of him by sniffing the ground in front.
Then stopped to reassure himself that all was well. Note the J-sniff position even though the trunk is resting on one of his tusks.
He then relaxed and took a nice earned breather.
