Ripley's Believe It or Not! Elephants - including their tusks - never stop growing! The writer Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941) died after accidentally swallowing the toothpick from a martini olive at a cocktail party. In England in 1825, a bareknuckle prizefight between Jack Jones and Patsy Tunney lasted for 276 rounds - under London prize ring rules, rounds were unlimited!

Oh, poor elephants if you ask me. The bigger they get, the shorter their reaches. Almost like T-rexes’ arms.

An elephant is the only mammal who can’t jump. Believe It Or Not, Ripley!

Elephant tusks are very tight…except in Alabama, where the Tuscaloosa!

What I can’t believe is that, instead of a simple portrait of Sherwood Anderson, they have to portray him seconds from death. How about an entry about the Kennedy assassination with an illustration of the back of the president’s head exploding?

Before I read the Sherwood Anderson snippet, I thought it was going to be something about Robin Williams

Sadly, and on a serious note, poachers know this too. Elephants across Africa and Asia are critically endangered and could be gone entirely from the wild within 30 years unless the tide is stemmed.

There’s one part of an elephant that doesn’t keep growing: their teeth. Elephants that die of “old age” usually starve to death because their teeth wear out and they can’t eat anymore.
