The girls walked right by us on their way to their lunch break. Look how sweet! Later Greg was like, "you know I was ready to grab you and run" and I was like what is that supposed to mean? And he meant, in case they charge. Which is true, which I knew, but I told him if it's my karma to be squishy by the elephant I am ok with that. And he said, yeah, you forgive the elephant, but I don't even think that would be necessary.

They use all females, of course, cannot take a chance on an unpredictable bull in any circumstance. When I worked with chimps at the zoo I learned a lot about animals in show biz but you can never know enough. At Mela they're always very docile and seem well tended and of course they're just beautiful!
