A thoroughly discomforting thought for any parent. Seeing your two year old being taken by a large pachyderm. Although, I don't think this woman (I think she is part of the management at the park) quite understood what kind of message she was sending out when she tried to talk down this incident: :bugeye:
I don't think the child knew that. Probably escaped the mother's mind as well when she saw 'Rambo' pick up her kid's stroller and lift it in the air. But I think Ms Enoch could have put it better than saying 'Rambo' "liked children" and was probably looking in the stroller to see if it contained anything to eat.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Elephants are very curious. And they like children [not as a snack]. I assume this elephant was used to being made a fuss of and was trying to get some attention. Must have thought the whole thing was a great gag. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! FYI, the best way to get something from an elephant is to give something to it. Instead of playing dog and bone, just hand the elephant a bunch of bananas or something and it will put the kid down.
When I read the dubious title of this thread, the sole thought that popped into my mind was "what the fuck?" Anyway, it seems to me that Rambo is undoubtedly a bitch; is there any other explanation as to why he relinquished a perfectly filling meal due to some female human's screaming and whatnot? Well, I suppose it's because elephants have pussy-soft, non-threatening teeth only suitable for grass and other easy meals. I'd say that kid was never really in any formidable danger.

Pretty much, also the elephant was probably bored, in Mumbai they wouldn't look twice at a kid in a pram Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
