Ruth , is the elephant I thought did the part of Minyak in the movie? You know "Is your foot getting tired?"

Did you see that one photo of Frank Bostock's elephant(possibly Big Liz or Lillie) doing the same thing around 1905?
Except the elephant looks like its really putting some presurre on the person's chest with its foot.
The old photo is posted at the web site about Frank Bostock,check it out.

Some stupid A$$ gives elephants Jolly Balls to play with. Don't they know elephants play lets sqush human heads. This is one of the dummest toys to give an elephant. But then again I have not been enlighted on the enrichment of elephants in these modern times.
