    Answer: Yes.

    The remaining 2/3 elephants left could be a mix of blue and green shared equally.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Total number of elephants = 1200

    Number of possible colours=3 (blue, green and pink)

    Number of pink elephants = 1/3 of 1200

    Number of pink elephants = 1/3*1200

    Pink elephants are 400

    The remaining fraction will b 1-1/3=2/3

    Total number of elephants - number of pink elephants = remaining number of elephants = > 1200-400=800
