Who am I? and, more importantly, why am I endangered?

The first question is sooooo easy, the second is perhaps not what you may first think.

------------------------------------
I think everyone guessed that this is the back end of an Elephant - not too difficult, but then you are all really really clever people :-)

I posted another picture from my trip to the zoo on TN, with a description of why these animals are in danger. Unfortunately, the zoo in Paris is badly funded and may close if people are not made aware of the sorry mess it is in. The TN Picture is here:
Zebra

Thanks everyone for your funny comments - made me happy bunny for the day with laughter.

I didn't win the freezer in Jean Louis' "Derm" (Jlvenne), so I try a new guess !
I think, it might be a siberian tiger...
or a giraffe maybe ?
Okay, it's not....
Funny to see the backyard of this elephant, nice done !

A different crop could also bring us to guess " an aerial view of a deset" or "a mud flood". This skin could use some ironing. Great, sharp, well lit, excellent shot, David.

Ma belle mère?

me in the morning ?????
(second solution : an elephant ??? )

Looks like an elephant's bum to me..don't know why it is endangered though unless it is because of the ivory tusks being taken for carving.
Nice focus!

Hi David
I like the capture it’s very nice. I think it’s a bit to close but it brings up the animals skin stricture in a nice way

I have a question to you to
Do you know what this is?

I like this David. Unusual pic with very good texture.

Great compo, shows, someone is really an elephant-lover. I leked your joke! Being 5 years old is an age to explore then, and later to remember and re-realize! Do not forget your lovely childish soul!
