LOL! Looks like something that could happen on an episode of Dr. Who. Just such a strange thing to see! I can't imagine what must have been going through that lady's mind when it happened. What a great catch. Did you bribe the elephant?
I just noticed, her coat is about the same color and texture of the elephant's trunk. I love pictures that raise so many questions and let the imagination run wild. Thanks for sharing it!
