  3. Carol says:

    Fuzzulent is one thing. Flatulent quite another.

  4. Theresa says:

    His or yours(flatulence?)

    In either case, you just admire from a distance. ;)

    LOVE the fuzz halo!

    Baby elephants are so cute, I’d rather see the other end.

  8. MamaDawn says:

    Baby elephant ‘tocks may look soft, but they feel like petting a hairbrush. They’re cute, but bristly.

    Spectockular photo.
    The wee one is safe between two adults.

  19. pb says:

    … and the title! (trombas e caudas = trunks and tails). Is it a sign of something that i have this overwhelming urge to translate as trunks and ‘tocks?

  20. zeldapie says:

    Who woulda thought fuzzy wrinkles could be SO ANERABLE?!

  21. Kiragirl says:

    tocktober or nosevember? I’m confuzed.

  22. sunnymum says:

    Jen, ashes and snow is so beautiful! Thank you for providing the link.

    As for these tocks, woot! Elephants are my fave animal! Do you know they shed tears when they cry? And mourn their dead. I wish I could work at an animal sanctuary but I’m not independently wealthy. (grumbles and starts looking for rich partner)

  23. Yitzysmommie says:

    Great picture.
    Hover text earworm? Not so great. My work partner will be here soon wondering why I’m shaking my booty & singing under my bref.

  24. Babs says:

    Kiragirl, perhaps it’s an early Cheekember.

  25. jen says:

    i like elephant tocks and i cannot lie
    these other critters can’t deny
    when a pachyderm walks in with a fuzzy wuzzy butt
    and a wrinkly little tail
    you get sprung!

  26. greenish says:

    Hey, guess what…

    Elephant butt.

  27. Kate says:

    Never realized elephants could be so light n’fluffy.

  28. Ellen says:

    my humps, my humps
    my luffly heffalumps

  29. Theo says:

    I’m laughing *and* groaning, Ellen… I wonder what the residents of the Hundred Acre Wood would make of Fergie…

  30. berthaslave says:

    “An Elephant’s Butt!” is also a punchline on a Simpsons episode (from season 3 I think). Y’all can look it up and snicker on yer own (like I am now)

    Really quite an impressive pic…what amazing textures. And who’dve ever thought an ellyphant would have peach fuzz?

    ZOMG! I was just watchin’a documentary last nite about bebeh elephants who have been orphaned in Africa. There is a lady who has set up a bebeh elephant nursery where they are hand reared until they are a certain age, and then released back ‘into the wild’(well, into a partly wild herd). Well, the bebeh’s each have their own keeper. Who sleeps in their stable with them. On a mattress next to the bebeh’s head so’s they can feed them milk every 4 hours! But the BEST bit off all, was at bedtimes, all the bebeh’s formed an orderly queue and walked into the stables, each wearing a blanky as a kerchief around their necks!! Made even better by this one bebeh elephant, who snuggled down in his straw and when his keeper brought over a mattress, just flung his little head down on it, all ‘nyerhe!’. And then the keeper covered him up with a PINK AND BLUE STRIPED BLANKET (sorry about the shouting, but it was redonkulous), with only his trunk and little beady eye peeeeeeeeking out.It rawked! Bless ;)

    Kgirl that is a great story!

    Elephants are wonderful from *almost* any angle.

    anyone remember the elephant joke book?

  33. garlicknots says:

    heehee, my boss is really going to be wondering why the wallpaper on his computer is of elephant ‘tocks when he gets back :)

  35. Aubrey says:

    “fuzzulent”? Never heard of that one. Sounds like a new pachy-term to me.

  36. raemie says:

    Those baby cheeks are beautifully wrinkled. Worthy to be insured. :)

  37. Angela P. says:

    I love animals… and this is a great photo… but I just can’t quite make myself say ‘cute’… :)

  38. Horsetuna says:
