This looks to be quite an interesting experience! Fortunately, Indian elephants are much more submissive than African ones!

Envelopes made from elephant dung - are they self sealing or do you have to lick them? Sri Lankan elephants are really cute aren't they. SteveB

You definitely have some great pictures of elephants!!! I can just vaguely remember seeing one years ago as a kid in a circus, this must be amazing to see them like this.
