Africa’s Elephant Cave Diggers Kitum Cave in Kenya used to be a lot smaller than it is, but over hundreds of years it has been dug out deeper and deeper.  In theory, the excavators turned out to be area elephants; along with other mammals the pachyderms gather in the cave to partake of its natural saltlick properties.  In the process, they have been using their tusks to scrape and remove the cave’s walls throughout time.
