Your eyes are not playing tricks on you, this really is a pink elephant.

The tiny calf was spotted drinking from a river with its mother at Kruger National Park, in South Africa.

Tourist Nicki Coertze, 58, was perplexed when he saw the albino elephant while on safari with his family in Shingwedzi.

But he made sure to capture the animal on his camera.

‘Amazingly, I think we were the only ones excited about the albino Elephant,’ said Nicki, a Minister from Polokwane, who also took some snaps.

‘As far as the rest of the herd was concerned they seemed to just accept him in their stride.’
