    It is an elephant, and it does look like an injury to me...

    Looks more like a buffalo to me based on thinness of hind legs. Certainly a nasty rip to the belly. I'm guessing lion, but my dog has done something similar on barbed wire.

    It could be a buffalo...I was going with Elephant based on the look of the tail.

    It's a male buffalo, rubbing his itchy, um, abdomen on a dead branch. No animals were injured to make this photograph 😃
