Breaking radio silence for a quick zombie elephant update!

Mr Shuffles, Sydney's favourite zombie baby elephant (see previous post), continued his career of attempting to Freak Everyone Out today by deciding to fall into deep water. Mum and aunties and zookeepers all intervened very neatly. I defy anyone to watch that video and not be as charmed by elephants as I am. And yes, I know they are wild animals and have come across a number out in the wild when Dad and I did our overland through East Africa trip. But even big bloody African ones are fascinating, and the sort of animal you hope to negotiate shared space with, and ideally can.

He's a bit stumbly still, because his muscles were all cramped in utero, but the word from the vets has gone from being 'We're cautiously optimistic' to 'We can't see any reason why he won't grow up hale and hearty'.

Obviously, they're not even factoring in his super zombie powers, so that's quite encouraging!
