I wonder what a nice stroller for an elephant would cost.

My, your dating habits *have* changed recently.   :D

Dating an elephant is like riding a scooter. It's all fun until your friends see you.

Well, they are gonna see him when he's pushing his new elephant-sized stroller alongside his elephant baby momma.   ;)

Maybe "Prevert"

French surrealist poetry seems a little high brow for Tim.  :unsure:

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

We need to create a self-sustaining elephant colony in North America somewhere...probably the only civilized place they can be saved from poaching.

I don't think there is anything about elephants that would be terribly disastrous for any of the NA ecosystems.

Since Mammoths and Mastodons lived in North America for hundreds of thousands of years without problems I'm sure they'd do fine.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

In the U.S., I'm not 100% sure there's anywhere the elements would permit a thriving elephant community.  Well, maybe Puerto Rico?

Yeah, on climate zones I'm not too sure.  Would elephants survive a rare cold snap in Florida or some such locale?

That leaves the only option in NA as Mexico, and.....well....yeah.

They'd do fine in the deep South.

So elephants can withstand freezing temperatures?  I really don't know if they can or can't, but the "deep south" gets snow unless you mean the Miami metro area, and even it gets colder than the tropics (and I believe hotter in the summer too).

That's why I said Puerto Rico! :)

C'mon, Tim, show a little pride. :P

Jungle elephants, sure, but a place with some savannah-like characteristics (or least a good amount of lush pastureland) would be best for the big African elephants.  :sleep:
