I'm sure the experience was unforgettable.

It's OK to watch an elephant waterski as they usually have their trunks on.

[–]K1ND_BUDZ -1 points0 points ago

But Its not wearing.... Ahh I see what you did there

[–]seanpque 0 points1 point ago

As an elephant, I can safely say water-skiing is highly overrated.

[–]mcsweden 6 points7 points ago

That better be fake.

[–]double-happiness 4 points5 points ago

It's not fake, but it's not a real elephant either. It was taken as a set for a film was being constructed, the elephant model was being moved into place for filming.

I was hoping for a .gif so bad!!! And then disappointment.

[–]chasemanwew 1 point2 points ago

What happens if he/she falls?!

[–]khanfusion 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, first glance at that made me have the beginnings of an anxiety attack. Then I read the comments, to learn that it's not a real elephant.

This cannot be a bad idea to the slightest.

[–]Kroovy1 0 points1 point ago

That's one way to drown an elephant.

[–]pickle_inspector 0 points1 point ago

Elephant's name? Jumbo. Boat driver's name? Dumbo.
