Pictures of the snow covered creatures have swept across social media as viewers marvel at the bizarre scenes.

Kitty Viljoen captured elephants enjoying the snow in the Sneeuberg on the Western Cape of South Africa, where snow hit late last week.

Sneeuberg translates to Snow Mountain and dustings are not unusual across parts of South Africa in the winter, but this cold snap comes particularly late in the season.

She also photographed giraffes in snow in the Karoo semi-desert region.

if there wasn’t snow, would they be doing something other than “wandering” ?

End of winter there—going into spring.

Yup,understood.But just as we can get chilly,and even snowy,weather in New England in March one could see them getting the same in September.It must be noted that a good portion of the country (including Johannesburg) is at 5,500+ feet elevation.
