Nobody knows how the pachyderms learned to ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Weird Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Looks much more like two elephants playing especially the last few seconds where they disappear together off the road, one following the other holding it's tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
