No need to postulate anything fantastical here.

(Wet elephants with their mouths open surely could not account for this phenomenon, all by themselves.)

A cursory acquaintance with zoology shows that something like this is plausible in the extreme.

As is the unfortunate human tendency to exterminate something like this for extremely spurious short-term gain.

(And “pink” is in the eye of the beholder. My bet is against shocking pink.)

Shame we’ll never know.

A race of black elephants with small pink tusks.

Oh my god Little Richard’d kill to own one of these!

Seems like someone was determined to “discover” another type of elephant. Whether they existed or not.

Seen from a distance, a wet elephant with its mouth open might look like it’s black with pink tusks.
