Hate to disappoint all you guys but we are talking the middle of the Sahara Desert. It is not an elephant, not a hippo, not an eland but a donkey.

On Sept 3rd 2007 Lindsey Holm and I set off on a walk of the entire range of the redwood tree . Leaving from the southern reaches of the old growth gallery forests of Big Sur, 333 days and 1500 miles later, on July 29th we reached the northernmost redwood tree in southern Oregon on the Chetco River. Over the coming months we will have thousands of georeferenced photos to display.

LOL that was funny, i didnt notice the name at first.

I second that compliment by Lrae, your pics are GREAT!
I guess theres no doubt its a donkey. It looks very healthy. They must feed that thing well.

I think it's a horse - you can see it's manes!

Judging by the long neck - I think I can even see the manes, I think it's just a horse (or maybe a donkey because of those big ears?)

In any case, I don't think it's an elephant or a hippo, right there between those houses.

Horns? I think those are ears.

I think what you refer to as horns are big flappy ears.
Besides, I'm pretty sure I see manes on that neck so I think it's a horse or a donkey.

G'day RagingR2 welcome to the GEC. You may be able to save a bit of time by checking out the other replies to the original post of Cyc's. I'm sure it will explain everything.
Have fun and see you around.
Cheers
