I found one on my bed December 2015 we were floating across oceans not a herd in sight … but somehow in my cabin after supper he appeared… life is full of irony and magic don’t you think. 😇

  I hope your room elephant was as well-behaved as mine is!

  Apparently he came in looking for sanctuary. I could only offer to protect him from poachers (like my roommate Janine, who really wants to take a shower…)

    Being smelly is the least she could do!

  I know — so fun! Last year we had a lotus, a bunny, and (my favorite!) a monkey. We unrolled each one so that we could figure out how to reproduce it. But somehow, the right moment just doesn’t seem to come up in my normal life.

Very rare….thanks for sharing. Seriously, they are. We only get those cute albino animals when on the cruises.

  He’s pretty appealing…or at least he was until we unrolled him and tried to reproduce him. Then he looked like a down-on-his-luck anteater.

    You’ll have to keep practising! Easy for me to give orders – I can hardly fold a napkin neatly.

  You might not say so if you saw what he looked like AFTER we unrolled him and tried to reproduce him. We went from adorable baby elephant to what looked like a dissolute anteater after a rough night.

It must take real talent to create that elephant! From your title, I imagined elephant trainers luring one out the door!

  Sorry Noelle! No mahouts spotted as yet. But I’ll definitely be checking under the bed.
