Breaking radio silence for a quick zombie elephant update!

[blamebrampton]

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.

man, I love that little guy. Have they decided if he's okay? I mean, has he got any health problems?

Okay, that was truly awesome. My heart might have exploded a little bit when the big elephants jumped in the water to save Mr. Shuffles. ;_;

Of course you've been to meet wild Elephants! They're fab. Where the squeaks, snortling and bird noises I could hear under the oooohnoooo-chorus from little zombie?!

I have always been fascinated by elephants... they're the first exhibit I go to at any zoo. Sadly, that's the only place I've seen them.

Thanks for the update on the Zombie Elephant!

Mr Zombie Shuffles!

This story just gets better and better, although I wish he wouldn't court death so. Perhaps he is really a cat zombie elephant. Or a daredevil?

But it looked like the zookeeper dude pushed the zombie in! That's just not on!

Aaw, he's so cuuute! Wobbly and silly, but/and adorable! Good job they didn't let him drown himself.
