possibly their worst song, but it sounds great live!

1. Elephant youth are born with the knowledge required to keep head above water and even swim in a pool deeper than their height, much like 'people.'

3. Elephants recognize and express fear at the sight of other elephants' skeletal remains - no other animal considers the sight of a skull so frightening as we do, except, of course, elephants.

2. Elephants destroy their own environment at a frightening rate - despite their obvious intelligence they seem incapable of grasping the fact that when they tear down trees with their tuskage and whatnot it ultimately leads to a lack of grousing come next season. This is likely a problem of history- eg the elephants have none whilst we write down EVERYTHING and hence we are SO MUCH BETTER at preserving our habitat.

OK that's what I have to say about elephants. I have a coupld of tunes that sound very circusy, but I don't normally think like 'elephants=circus' bcz I have watched too much Discovery channel

The elephant, the huge old beast,
is slow to mate;
he finds a female, they show no haste
they wait

for the sympathy in their vast shy hearts
slowly, slowly to rouse
as they loiter along the river-beds
and drink and browse

and dash in panic through the brake
of forest with the herd,
and sleep in massive silence, and wake
together, without a word.

So slowly the great hot elephant hearts
grow full of desire,
and the great beasts mate in secret at last,
hiding their fire.

Oldest they are and the wisest of beasts
so they know at last
how to wait for the loneliest of feasts
for the full repast.

They do not snatch, they do not tear;
their massive blood
moves as the moon-tides, near, more near,
till they touch in flood.
