interesting sight on the road. And it is tough for me not to stop and watch elephants and also
take some snaps if I have a camera handy. My wife was like, "You already have such a lot of snaps of elephants. Why do you need more ?"
But, it is something I find difficult to explain - I simply find the sight of these big animals so gracious - especially their slow movements. Ofcourse, when they go on a rampage (which is
quite common in Kerala), they can be real speedy in their destruction of man and property.
Elephants are a common sight on the roads of Kerala (we sighted 3 of them on that drive) - usually temple elephants that are either being taken to the river for a bath or just taken
around the town. They are used extensively by the timber-logging industry, but it is
quite rare to see them used for work around town.
1) Preparing to lift the log
2) This is so easy. Why can't you morons pick it up yourself, instead of troubling me for such simple stuff ? :-)
3) Dump it into the mini-truck.
4) A final quality-control check to see if all's OK.
And that's just another day at work for the Elephas maximus (the zoological name of the Indian Elephant). :-)
