And what about all these elephants in circus ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCn2E9G1awY Don’t go to circus with animals ! Some countries banned animals from circus. I hope France, Germany and other european countries will do it soon.

Great post! Just curious. Do you know if elephants tend to be monogamous like the humpback whales and the swans?
