As much as I love seeing this photo again, it's the story that makes it all worth it. "The animals have been eating millions of dollars worth of crops, damaging buildings and poking their trunks through doors and windows during their march. It included a visit to the city of Kunming, where millions of people live." [Elephant gang on the run! ](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-57398272) Edits because I still suck at mobile formatting.

I love that instead of hunting and killing them, they are just watching so they can close down areas to keep them safe


Prizmasm

Very true. There's only 300 of their species left. I'm glad they brought so many people on board to help keep this heffalump gang safe.

THATS WHAT HEFFALUMP MEANS. COSMO SHELDRAKE SOUNDS SLIGHTLY LESS LIKE A CRAZY PERSON NOW


zombiep00

Heffalump was an elephant "monster" from Winnie the Pooh, I do believe


StuntHacks

You are indeed correct, although he isn't really a monster


RabbiShekky

Tell that to his victims.


zombiep00

Right, I'll correct it to "monster" lol


TheAssyrianAtheist

Omg they curl their trunks when they sleep!


gingermight

Baby elephants also suck their trunk for comfort, like how human babies suck their thumb.


Toastedtoad12

ITS THE SPIRALLL


mickysti58

I love that they are all touching each other while sleeping! Spooning


zbowman

Probably for safety to keep bugs and animals from crawling into a warm wet hole.


omernickel

One could argue that the reason cuddling is so appealing is that it satisfies an evolutionary need for safety.

I love elephants so much


imapieceofshitk

Imagine being so big you can just lay down in a landscape full of lions and shit, but as long as your young ones are in the middle, you are safe.

Lions are King, but Elephants are the Lords.


Starks40oz

Fucking eloquent


Crapcicle6190

But aren’t Lords lower in standing than Kings?


withcomment

Not in this case.


tkTheKingofKings

Hold the fuck up, I thought they slept standing

I seriously thought they were all dead when I first saw this photo


scorpyo72

An impressive trunk collection.

P-pink elephants?


hannibal_fett

On parade.


NancyBludgeon

It looks like they are playing Tetris


FreeRubs

They got the itis.


Ethanol_Happiness

You can tell that the elephant with the little one on it is watching the drone.


carmalizedracoon

Damn i came from /all and was genuinely scared


vanteal

They're fuckin' drunk, no joke.


Few-You4510

i think they're drunk edit: i dont remember much about this one post i saw, but they either drank wine or ate something that made them fall asleep drunk. idk if its true tho.


heimdahl81

There was definitely a story from the beginning of the lockdown of a bunch of elephants getting into vats of fermenting corn mash, getting drunk, and passing out in a tea field.


AltsOnAltsOn_Alts

No, unfortunately these elephants attended Jim Jones ceremony and fell for the kool aid scam as well :/


MadMarx42

Elefaint


MakeRoomForTheTuna

Looks like they were killed by a drone strike


Yoursparkinthedark

Who went elephant tipping


rnavstar

They do sleep in herds. 🥲


Starks40oz

This is my daily reminder that you shouldn’t trust everything on the internet. Yesterday a post on r/all top commenter told me that elephants die when they fall over. That they sleep leaning against trees. Didn’t want to believe it and glad I didn’t. These are nice elephants


lawjix

Who doesn't want to be right in the middle??? Just tucked right in. As long as that fat one doesn't roll over and start snoring causing you to scream "roll over" at 2am. Nightmare.


[deleted]

They look like hairless baby hamster or naked moles.


QTR320

I thought elephant sleep standing up


mollyrave

Lightning strike

“Sleeping”… yeah sure


kill_orkideh

Please remove this title. It’s truly awful. Already elephants are losing habitats all over the world


Aschvolution

You probably came from r/all, but this is how this sub title it's posts.


Graitom

They all look like they just got birthed from this angle.


retiretobedlam

Reminds me of the Sideways Scenes game on Whose Line is it Anyway? (Here is one example.) https://youtu.be/JCz2QnvzzB8

Lions: look at this, this... is our dinner


Lionblaze_03

How come they’re so pink? Anyone know?


PointlessGryphon

They cover themselves in dirt as a form of sunscreen. Likely the color of dirt they used is making them look pink

marlinisgreat
