made me think of the Flying Nun AND Dumbo. a Catholic elephant?
anyway, I smiled, too, because sometimes just Being is Joyful if you can be Present in the Moment. (sorry, too much Eckert Tolle)

It's an interesting article - but if elephants can't physiologically jump because of their weight, wouldn't it be possible for a baby elephant to jump? I imagine not just the weight, but the proportions and physiology would be different and might allow jumping. Another question for Tom Silva, I suppose ...

Elephant ears can't move into the position that baby's ears are in. They look more like a basset hound's ears to me. Those ears are drawn in.

You're right - the more I look at it, the less real the baby looks.
Oh well, it still made me smile.

All pictures of baby elephants are great. Every one of them makes me smile.

I've seen a baby rhino frolic like a lamb, bouncing about (definitely not possible for adult rhinos), and also a baby womat bounce about (ditto), so I find it quite plausible that a baby elephant could.
