Working aquatic-elephants like Rajan used to be a regular sight in the Andaman Islands, south of India, but this 60-year-old five tonne Asian elephant is the last of his kind. Thanks to the introduction of motor boats and other energy-saving technology, Rajan no longer needs to swim miles between islands to work for his masters, but can now enjoy swimming purely for pleasure.

Oh Elephant. Is there anything you can’t do? (And btw, my money’s on B.)

My sister made these marzipan figures. Adorable!

I mean. I wasn’t NOT going to snap it. (Taken at Guggenheim Museum)

Reminds me of a Spanish nursery rhyme that we used to sing in school: Un elefante se balanceaba sobre la tela de una araña…

PS: Previous LV animals.

Stuffed my own stocking with this little guy. 

I will never, ever poke you on Facebook but if I am ever so lucky as to own an elephant someday (this would be part of the India retirement plan), I may ask her to poke you as you walk by our house.

Poke!

Lions and clowns and elephants, oh my! The Discovery Museum brings us some kinda-creepy, definitely cool photos of old English carnivals. Get that old-timey fairground feeling here.
