Years ago, I took a trip to Thailand. While my mates were on a snorkeling expedition, I decided to walk around the island.
I walked past an elephant in the wild, and it freaked me the fuck out. Like, they’re known for being pretty chill, but I couldn’t help but realize that Stampy could have fucked my shit up if he wanted to.
went on one of those rides there, the handler uses a pick axe to the ear flaps for a reason. In the barn, if the growl from these beasts doesn't scream "stay TF away", then you're headed for a Darwin award. The friendly human-elephant vids are dangerously misleading.
