They should discourage this.
It starts with a few elephants on a gently incline, and before you know it, they turn up wearing skis, and going in for the Olympic downhill.
It's a typical slippery slope.

Next thing they'll be trying a double somersalt with a full twist - not pretty when an elephant crashed out doing that.mistermack wrote:They should discourage this.

Re: Elephants with a problem - how to get down a slippery ba
Makes you wonder how dinosaurs got around, if elephants have that much trouble over a little slope.
Mind you, elephants are too long in the leg to be agile. I suppose maybe a four-legged dinosaur with much shorter legs could just slide on it's belly. Although with the weight that some of them had, maybe they couldn't bend their legs much.
I'd like to see how T Rex would get down a slippery slope.
Maybe that's why they kept a long tail, for balance in rough country, like a third leg.

They should make like Dumbo, extend their ears and glide down...

Elephants aren't the only ones to have problems with slippery banks these days.

Elephants need to move to a lower gravity planet.
