Her neck, however, was snapped instantly by those two elephants’ weight, right?

May the explored be with you as they are with Brycee, and gesundheit.

I like that the one elephant has his legs scrunched up off the ground.

I’m pretty sure holding up two elephants with your hair would give one a massive headache.

New star of urban legends – the Bear Calf!

So why is such strength given to hair atop a spinal column that would be ground to dust trying to support even one ton?
