Sure, I could have saved this for Friday, but it's making the rounds. The elephant's name is Abu, and he's celebrating his first birthday by playing with this ball he got as a birthday present.

Nice ears, buddy!

'Ear 'ear!

Hard to tell, but he looks about the size of a modest dog. I woulda thought a 1-yo heffalump would be bigger.

What they don't tell you is that the ball is actually 8 feet in diameter.

see that little brownish spot below the trunk? yeah, that's a squished person. :(

Don't show that picture to Bean.

(Bean is Undertoad's dog whose obsession is chasing balls of any size.)

Reminds me of last year, when my friend blew off his science final to go to the zoo, and spent all but 3 exposures on a roll of film taking pictures of the baby animals.
