I’ve always loved Elephants and will never forget seeing an Elephant for the first time. I was visiting my local Zoo on a school trip and an elephant was rolling around on the ground. It was fascinating to watch and I saw a great big elephant along with a small baby elephant. It was an amazing experience.
