The one thing that has always struck me about Whipsnade's Elephant calves is how much they resemble little Wooly Mammoths. I know the two species are related, and I'm not surprised, the resemblance is canny. If I didn't know better to my uneducated eye I would think it was Dinka come back to life.
The older ones always seem to have more hair in the winter, of course it could just be my imagination.
Yes Dima, thanks for the clarification. It's been a long time since I read that "Tales Corpses Tell" or whatever the title was book (I would prefer not to reread it thank you.)
