RedMum, thank you very much.

Estelle, there was two of them. Both of them were quite comical. One of them reached over the fence and tried to grab a piece of paper out of a mans pocket. It was hilarious!

Baino, that elephant and one more are on an outcropping smaller than my house. They have no where to roam! Some zoo’s, like yours, do a great service to all the animals they keep, but some, like mine, do a very…very bad job. He is not photoshoped. If I rolled around in the yard outside, I’d look like that too! We have more red clay here than dirt.

Ha! I did orange! Nice animules JD however, zoos do serve a higher purpose (at least ours do) with captive breeding programs, native research and the like. Unfortunately some of these ‘old’ elephants are so long in the tusk that there’s nothing else for them. Taronga zoo is on the best piece of real estate in Sydney and their ‘plains’ animals are shuffled between the city and Western Plains Zoo out at Dubbo so they get time ‘on the range’ so to speak. Love that vulture, fantastic detail in the feathers. Did you photoshop the heffalump?

Thanks Grannymar.

He probably is grey under all of that muck.

Brilliant as usual. You certainly put me in the shade.

I never saw a brown elephant before. Our Zoos only have grey ones.
