I worked at a zoo for a bunch of years but never worked with the elephants as I am rather small and everything about them is rather large but I did get to hang around then. They are so smart, often sweet and often clever. You treat them well and they paid it back. I loved being able to interact a bit with them.

This just cracked me up. You could see it in every part of that elephants body that they were having fun with an old trick. Thanks for posting this.
