In celebration of Kenyan sprinter, @ferdiomanyala, who won the 100m in 10.02 at the Commonwealth Games this week, we held our own 100m sprint at Reteti! 🇰🇪 Watch how the winner lifts his trunk victoriously as he crosses the finish line at the gate.🥇 ah While elephants aren't as fast as @ferdiomanyala, their top running speed is still an impressive 40km/hour (24.85 mph). It needs to be said though, elephants can't maintain this speed for an hour. Most elephants are more likely to hit 15 mph (25 km/h) when running. It's rather mind blowing, considering the biggest elephants can weigh 14,000 lbs (6,350 kgs)! - Video by Reteti Elephant Sanctuary #ferdiomanyala #commonwealthgames #reteti #retetielephants #rescue #wildliferescue #northernkenya #elephant #communityconservation #namunyakconservancy #samburu
