  Nature as novelty. Bring the animal out for the photo-op, everybody smiles, then put the beast back into its cage. How civilized we are.

  I thought what did the elephant do next? By clicking on the ‘find more detailed information…’ my question was answered.
  Thank you so much for sharing.

  So this was life without cable TV, cell phones and internet
  If any one has a tea party with an elephant give me a year and I will try to make it.
