I reckon my glitch on the image is the blue pipe coming from the back of the crapjack, ehem, excuse me......... Head I should say.
It looks like a peice of 4-6" PVC or CPVC. I've seen it used on construction sites. The pipe may be a lot bigger than I think, as the animal & the head are both huge. You can see the pipe very well on Bruce's link.
Anyway, IMHO the image would be more convincing without the "pipe", or whatever.

Wonder if "it's a floater?" Hope not..............
Maybe the cement looking opening the "pipe" goes into is one of the gates of hell. "Some folks call it hell- I call it hades".

From UT's link;

The jumbos even flush the stone lav, which is fully plumbed in, by pulling a cord with their trunks. The waste is then processed to extract the methane.

Simmer down, you're not suppose to hate them until they've been bad. They've only been bad in your imagination as far as you know.
Hell, it could have been the 'phants idea for all we know.
