This 40’ mechanical machine is called the Sultan’s elephant and is made quite a stir as it made it way through the streets of London. It was designed by Francois Delarozière, and commissioned to celebrate the death of Jules Verne. The elephant is operated by a crew of 22 and is powered by a mixture of lever, motors and hydraulics. Its trunk even sprays water.

10 years ago, the elephant named Motola has lost her leg after she stepped on a landmine.
Now she’s 48 years old and the Thai workers of a veterinary hospital have made her a present - a real leg prosthesis.
Well done, guys.

A baby elephant was hit by a train in India.
With the help of a crane, the injured animal was taken to the local zoo for treatment.
It’s not an easy work to transport, even a small elephant!

Imagine tourists’ reaction when a big elephant came to their camp to find some food.
It was a happy end. The elephant stayed for a little while and then left.
