That elephant has a dental problem requiring extraction, and a lot of elephants go to Alabama for treatment of that condition.

Sometimes you have to find just the right object to get a good belly scratch.

There must not be any bathroom stalls out in the preserve! But if you see really big diapers - be afraid. Be very afraid.

I would love to read that incurance claim - that the car was damaged becouse of an Elephant wanted to scratch on the top of the car.... And I for one wonder if it exist any incurance who cover damage from Elephants... ?

Can you imagine explaining what happened to the insurance office?

Office: You claiming for what?
