Elephants are cool!

“We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of
animals. In a world older and more complete than ours they move
finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have
lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They
are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations,
caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners
of the splendor and travail of the earth.”
–Henry Beston

A beautiful article at Orion online magazine inspired me to add elephants to the coloring pages at Color-Your-Own.com. (If you are an animal lover you will find almost 300 free drawings of animals to color there).

Gray Thunder:Listening to Elephants is a beautiful article about elephants written by Cyril Christo about his visit to Kenya, and the stories of the native peoples about their friend, the elephant. It is well worth reading. Once I started looking, it seemed like elephants were everywhere online. There is even a blog devoted just to elephants.

Enjoy!
