A young elephant having a good time at Chester Zoo in North-West England. The title is a line from a wonderful song by Flanders and Swann, who were a famous singing double act who sang mostly gentle, comic songs in a series of comic revues in the 1950s and 60s.

Good thing it doesn't wear t-shirts, or socks. What a mess for old Mum. Very nice capture, Steve.

They are really fun to watch and photograph aren't they Steve. I took some photos of them last year when I visited the zoo. This one looks really happy playing in the mud! Nice capture!

Good Post of this little fellow. Love the Zoo. I've got a few from the Zoo of a Silver Back Gorilla. I'll bet he's as BIG as that Elephant. LOL. I'll post them one day and we can compare.

A mistreated dog should try to leave a deposit on their masters best carpet, after all it's important to establish who's boss ... My gallery is here.

Yes, there's nothing quite like it for cooling the blood. Actually I think he's looking for his mobile. He's trying to make a trunk call. Makes mental note: avoid making jokes in future.
