Traditionally we know two types of elephants. The Asian and the African one. Of course we have printable coloring pages of both the elephants available, all for free. The African version is a lot bigger and also has bigger ears. But did you know that a female African elephant also has tusks? We are really impressed by these beautiful big creatures. We love to see them in the wild in their herds and especially when there are cute baby elephants there. Maybe you think coloring an elephant is a bit boring with only the grey color to use, but we challenge you to use your creativity and think about other colors on your elephant picture as well. The elephant is the largest animal living on land, and its trunk alone has tens of thousands of muscles. Mix gray with a little blue or brown to give the wrinkled skin depth, and add a soft pink inside the big ears.
