African elephant walking along a road in Hluhluwe National Park, South Africa

Caption

African elephant (Loxodonta loxodonta) walking along a road in Hluhluwe National Park, South Africa. Elephants can cover dozens of kilometres a day in the savannah. Because they facilitate travel, roads are often used by elephants and ultimately shape their movements and their distribution in the landscape.
