I saw an episode of South Park where the kids tried to mate an elephant and a pig to get a small elephant to sell as pets. Funny show, but how shocked I was to find out that Pygmy Elephants really exist! The Bronx Zoo recently had one! They are tiny (like a large dog), and seem to occur by accident. One day, we will be able to breed them. Anyone want a pet elephant?  ------------------ "Never mentally imagine for another that which you would not want to experience for yourself, since the mental image you send out inevitably comes back to you."

Hi La-Tee-Da  I used to travel to the Far East on business a lot, and at the end of each trip, used to tag on a few days holiday  Anyway - one time when I was in Thailand there was a baby elephant that used to wander around the hotel He was sooo cute. He liked to play and used to suck some water from the swimming pool and then spray everyone with it  Sue  IP: Logged |
